What does UR mean in UNCLASSIFIED

UR is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that combines Ultherapy and radiofrequency (RF) technologies to improve skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles. Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to target the deeper layers of the skin, while RF energy heats the superficial layers. This combination stimulates collagen production, leading to firmer and tighter skin.

UR can be used to treat various areas of the face and body, including the forehead, cheeks, jowls, neck, décolleté, and abdomen. It is particularly effective for improving skin laxity and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

The duration of a UR treatment varies depending on the size of the area being treated. A full-face treatment typically takes around 60-90 minutes, while smaller areas may take less time.

UR can be uncomfortable, but the level of discomfort varies from person to person. Some patients experience a mild warming sensation or slight tingling, while others may experience more intense discomfort. A topical anesthetic or numbing cream can be applied before the treatment to minimize discomfort.

Most patients start to see results within a few weeks of the treatment, but the full effects may take up to three months to become visible. Results can last for up to a year or longer, depending on the individual patient.

UR is generally safe and well-tolerated, but some side effects may occur. These may include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising. In rare cases, more severe side effects such as skin burns or nerve damage can occur.

UR is suitable for individuals who have mild to moderate skin laxity and wrinkles. It is particularly effective for those who are not ready for or do not desire invasive surgical procedures.
