Ultherapy-An Unexpected benefit for Rosacea patients

By now you've probably heard the buzz about Ultherapy, the skin tightening device that uses ultrasound energy to tighten the skin.  We have been using this therapy successfully for over two years here at Trinity Vista and have seen some great results. 

What's news this month is that Ultherapy may also improve redness in addition to tightening skin.  A study by Dr. Joel Schlessinger showed that two-thirds of patients with type 1 rosacea (mainly redness) improved with Ultherapy.  More studies will be performed to validate the results with greater numbers of patients, but in the meantime, these results look promising for offering another treatment to patients with a previously hard to treat condition.
