Ultherapy a Nonsurgical skin lifting procedure. It's not a laser. It's not an injection.

Dr. Harold Bafitis Now Offers Ultherapy® – A Breakthrough Cosmetic Treatment For West Palm Beach and Wellington, FL Patients.

West Palm Beach, FL - Dr. Harold Bafitis, announced today that the first-of-its-kind treatment, known as Ultherapy® is now available at his offices. Ultherapy has captured the interest of the medical community and top news media across the country because it lifts and tones the skin in a meaningful way but without surgery. After just one treatment, with no downtime.

Set your Tivo and watch THE DOCTORS on Monday March 26 -  show will focus on this new Ultherapy treatment from Ulthera.

“This represents a whole new paradigm within aesthetic medicine,” says Dr. Bafitis “and my patients are thrilled to have an effective ‘entry level’ option for improving sagging skin that doesn’t entail cutting or downtime.”

The use of this FDA-cleared ultrasound technology enables physicians, for the first time, to see and then treat the deepest support layers of the skin addressed in surgery without disrupting the uppermost layers of skin. There can be some initial contraction but the ultrasound energy also triggers the body’s natural response mechanism, which is to rejuvenate aging collagen and supplement it with new collagen. This will gradually, over the course of two to three months, strengthen and tone the skin and gently shift it into a more youthful position. While the results do not duplicate the results of surgery, Ultherapy’s gradual improvements make it a compelling option for those who are not quite ready for surgery.

Tens of thousands of Ultherapy treatments have been provided worldwide, and Dr. Bafitis is pleased to be at the forefront in the U.S. of this clinical advance, cleared by the FDA in September 2009. This non surgical option can be used in the areas of the body with loose saggy skin. Bafitis Plastic Surgery has been designated a national training site for other physicians, in the use of Ulthera® technology.
