Can My Food Help Me Age Gracefully?

The obvious answer is yes. You are what you put on your plate. What do you expect if you eat fast-food and processed food then?  You can add more years to your life and subtract years off your face by making smart food choices. Too much sugar and processed carbohydrates only damage your skin and your overall health. High-glycemic food cause acne and worsen wrinkles. So think twice if you are tempted on buying a bag of chips and a dozen donuts. Instead of gorging on hot dogs, donuts, chips, fries and the like, munch on avocado, yogurt, lean meat, and nuts. A  Mediterranean-style diet is a good example: vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low-fat dairy and lean protein. They have the antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals your body needs to keep you healthy inside and out.

Ulthera

          How we all wish to maintain our youthful appearance! Beauty means everything, especially to a woman. And with our society today, being good looking is an upper hand. It does help you land a more decent job, pave the way for more opportunities, make more friends, find a partner, and the list go on. Because of that desire, people tend to exercise a number of ways in order to achieve their demands. In fact, some would go extreme measures without a shred of doubt since lotions and potions as well as DIYs in people’s leaky cauldrons are just not enough. In spite of everything, ageing gracefully has remained almost nothing more than a pipedream. Fine lines and wrinkles are getting too evident every passing day. Men and women complain about sagging cheeks, floppy jaws, and double chins.

          Facial tissues thin out as people age. Collagen production slows down and elastin fibers start to lose its pliability continually. Collagen is the protein responsible for keeping our skin smooth and supple, while elastin is the protein that keeps the skin firm and flexible. Internal influences, free radicals, and the sun’s harmful UV light can further damage collagen and elastin. Depending on your skin’s constitution, these external influences will amplify the ageing process. Although there is no treatment or procedure that can make you look as if you jump decades back into the past and look sweet 16 again, modern technology has at least made it possible to push the younger version of you back to the future, hanging on to your youthful appearance a little bit more than you should.

What is Ultherapy?

          Cosmetic surgeons have once again revolutionized a brilliant idea in thwarting the effects of time and gravity. Ulthera, or commonly known as Ultherapy is a new type of non-surgical ultrasound treatment that focuses on the body’s own regenerative ability using focused ultrasound. This procedure lifts, tones, and tightens loose skin on the eyebrow, under the chin, and on the neck. Likewise it smooths fine lines and wrinkles from the face to the upper chest area. Experience no downtime. This treatment has been reputable to be safe and effective worldwide. No foreign substances. No radical change. You will achieve a firmer, suppler, better-fitting skin in no time without the surgery! Like surgery, Ultherapy aims at the skin’s foundational layer of tissue minus the cutting and disrupting of the skin’s surface.  The use of ultrasound allow practitioners to see the different layers of the skin, making sure the energy is supplied to the right depths of the tissue where it will create the most impact. Basically, Ultherapy is heating small amounts of soft tissues underneath the skin’s surface so the tissue will contract and form new collagen.

How Long Does it Take and Last?

          This procedure will last around an hour or two, depending on the area to be treated. You can continue regular activities straight away after the treatment. No special after-care is required.  Simply avoid too much sun exposure and facial massages within a week. Moreover, clients who have gone through Ultherapy can enjoy a year of healthy glowing skin that is loaded with spanking new collagen. Likewise, a handful of appointments for future touch-ups are essential to keep up with the ageing process.

Ultherapy vs Other Procedures

          Ultherapy is an amazing alternative if you prefer a non-invasive procedure. Although Ultherapy tends to break the bank, this procedure poses no risk at all. Ultherapy can be compared to having a series of ThermiSmooth treatments. ThermiSmooth is a type of treatment for facial tightening and lifting. ThermiSmooth, just like Ultherapy, is also a non-invasive procedure that has no down time. In a nutshell, Ultherapy is the best non-invasive procedure in lifting, toning, and tightening loose skin. This treatment is far ahead of its rivals. Most of all, it is the only treatment that has been approved by the FDA.

Going Through Ultherapy

Ultherapy isn’t necessarily a painful blistering experience although you would feel an ample amount of heat at some point. This is a sign that ultrasound energy is currently being delivered and collagen is building below the surface of the skin. Comfort threshold varies from patient to patient. Other patients may have to endure discomfort from area to area such as the face and neck which are the most sensitive parts. The discomfort is tolerable and temporary. Nonetheless, you can ask your practitioner to discuss beforehand some methods in reducing discomfort during the procedure. Such methods include medications, cooling fans, and so on. Then again, the discomfort you may about to experience is worth the results in the end. Ultherapy produces no side effects.  You will only experience a slight redness for an hour or less.
