Q: Are there cosmetic procedures available that do not require lengthy recuperation time?
A: Yes, there are currently two procedures that Dr. Humble at Sugar Land Face and Body recommends depending on which target areas you are looking to improve. Both procedures allow patients to walk in and out of the practice with no downtime, and they are Cool-Sculpting® and Ultherapy.
CoolSculpting is a procedure that “freezes the fat” with no down time. After eight weeks, you will notice a difference in the area that you had the treatment on, whether it be your stomach, love handles or thighs. Clients are thrilled to learn about this non-invasive, easy and quick procedure. Depending on your treatment area, you can walk out in 70 minutes.
Ultherapy is a new type of non-surgical procedure for the face that stimulates the body’s own natural healing process to lift the skin over time. The use of FDA-cleared ultrasound technology enables physicians, for the first time, to see and then treat the deepest support layers of the skin – typically addressed in cosmetic surgery – without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin.
The treatment typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes. Afterward, patients are able to return to normal activities right away, and there are no special measures they need to take. With just one Ultherapy treatment, the lifting process is initiated, but the effect will build gradually over the course of two to three months, as new, stronger collagen is created.
