The stunning 57-year-old actor recently opened up to Women’s Health about her go-to beauty treatments, crediting both Ultherapy and Botox along with her in-office staples. These two treatments are also in high demand at VIDA, where clients get much more than a medical day spa. Williams has always been transparent about her beauty procedures, recently posting a video on Instagram of her Botox injections. She says, “My main focus is on skin tightening and collagen boosting.” Here’s why Ultherapy is a natural fit for Williams’ priorities.
Ultherapy is sometimes called a non-surgical alternative to a facelift because of just how well it tightens skin without the need for incisions or downtime. Women and men alike are starting to turn away from surgical treatments, with female facelifts declining 44 percent in the past few years according to the BAAPS (British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons). Instead, non-surgical alternatives like Ultherapy are taking center-stage.
Why Ultherapy Came Out on Top
There are a few technologies and devices on the market used to tighten skin. Some use lasers, radiofrequency, or ultrasound. The leading technology is Ultherapy, which Bazaar calls the “gold standard” for non-invasive skin lifting and tightening of the face, neck, and chest. Ultrasound energy is at the core of Ultherapy, which encourages the body’s natural collagen and elastin production. Specific areas can be targeted to achieve a non-surgical “brow lift” or “jaw lift,” too. Ultrasound has been used in various capacities for over 50 years, making it an established safe tool.
However, only relatively recently has ultrasound technology been used to harness wave power for collagen-increasing effects in the skin and SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system). The SMAS is what surrounds facial and neck muscles, and targeting it is what actually lifts muscle layers and skin. In other words, Ultherapy doesn’t just tighten skin but it can actually lift facial muscles and features.
Ultherapy works best on those with mild to moderate skin laxity and sagging. Who performs your Ultherapy also makes a big difference because it takes incredible technical skill to achieve the best results. Call the VIDA office at (503) 399-0021 to learn more about Ultherapy and other treatments.
