I want my fresh look back! Non-invasive alternative to a facelift.

Basel Express in conversation with Dr. med. Mitra Modaressi, the medical director of Swissestetix in Basel. Born in Vienna, she has been working in aesthetic medicine since 2005 and has many years of experience in anti-aging medicine and skin treatment with laser.

Dr. Modaressi, I am one of those people who have a queasy feeling when they „have to go under the knife“ – is Ultherapy® a surgical procedure?

No, I can reassure you, Ultherapy® is a non-invasive treatment method that reaches the lower layers of the skin without cutting or damaging the skin surface.

Is the effectiveness of Ultherapy® comparable to that of a surgical facelift?

Yes, it has proven to be an effective lifting alternative without a scalpel. This innovative method for the treatment of the face, neck and décolleté uses highly focused ultrasound, which stimulates the skin’s own healing process. As a result, the skin tightens itself again and sagging skin areas are firmed. The procedure itself uses the proven energy of ultrasound to reach the deep structures of the individual skin layers, including those that can otherwise only be reached with a surgical facelift.

When do results become visible?

With only one treatment the regeneration process is set in motion. The result is visible over a period of 2-3 months and shows a younger appearance with taut contours. The result can still improve up to the 6th month!

How much time does the treatment take?

Depending on the area, the treatment takes 60 to 90 minutes. After the procedure, absolutely no traces are visible on the outside. One is immediately socially acceptable again and can immediately pursue the usual activities.

And how long does the result last?

As a rule, fresh collagen is still present one year after the procedure, but the skin continues to age naturally. However, future refreshing treatments can help to massively slow down this aging process.
