Luxe Beauty Breakthroughs 2011 Edition
Innovation doesn't come cheap, but these groundbreaking beauty products and procedures might be well worth the splurge
Ultrasound facelift In an attempt to render the scalpel obsolete, a company called Ulthera has manufactured the first "energy-based device for aesthetics cleared by the FDA." It uses non-invasive ultrasonic imaging to lift and tighten skin on your face and neck.
Ultherapy directs sound waves into the skin at the muscular level and heats the underlying tissue, which causes it to contract while aiding in the production of collagen. The procedure takes up to an hour with minimal downtime and costs $2,000 on average. And as with any novel cosmetic procedure, there are always risks that come with the benefits, so consult your doctor.
