Reasons to Consider Sultra
Firm and Lifted
Your consultation is the most essential component to developing your tailored aesthetic plan. Your Elixir Aesthetics provider will listen to your goals, assess your aesthetic needs, and work with you to develop a customized treatment plan that works for you. Sultra can be tailored or combined with other treatments when you want gradual tightening, firmer skin, and collagen support without surface disruption. After careful skin analysis, your aesthetic provider will discuss how to incorporate Sultra into your regimen.
Revitalized Complexion
To ensure optimal comfort and results, avoid excessive sun exposure 5–7 days prior to your treatment.
On the day of your treatment, please arrive without makeup. At Elixir Aesthetics, we strive to make all treatments as comfortable as possible—please arrive 30–45 minutes early for topical numbing application. With this, the treatment is generally well-tolerated, with most clients describing a gradual warming sensation. A full-face treatment can typically be completed in 30 minutes.
Maintenance treatments throughout the year help sustain results, with frequency varying based on your skin, anatomy, and treatment response.
Little to No Downtime
Your provider will discuss the particulars of your recovery, aftercare, and results with you at your consultation. Following your Sultra skin tightening treatment, you can usually expect mild swelling and pinkness for 1–3 days. Sultra does not create a sandpaper texture because it does not disrupt the skin’s surface.
After your treatment, a recovery serum will be applied to your skin and directions about your specific skin care regimen discussed. Do not apply makeup or sunscreen the day of your treatment. You may resume a gentle cleanser and light moisturizer the night of your treatment. The following day, non-irritating skincare, sunscreen, and makeup may resume. Avoid irritating topical skin products like retinoids, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and any form of chemical or manual exfoliation for one week while the skin settles.
Your specific needs and results timeline will be discussed during your consultation for Sultra. Many clients pursue a package of three treatments spaced about one month apart to build collagen gradually and support improved firmness and elasticity.
Sultra is a gentle non-ablative fractional laser with few risks and side effects. It delivers controlled heat deep into the dermis without disrupting the skin’s surface. It is well tolerated by most skin types. In the hands of Elixir Aesthetics’ experienced and educated providers, the procedure is relatively low risk.
Sultra supports collagen and elastin production, but natural aging continues over time. Your provider will discuss when future treatments may be appropriate based on your skin laxity, goals, and response to treatment.
Sultra is an inclusive laser that works for nearly all skin tones and types, including darker skin tones that can’t be treated with conventional lasers.
Investment for Sultra skin tightening depends on your desired treatment area and how many sessions are needed for your specific needs. Your Elixir Aesthetics provider will discuss your investment and package options during your consultation. Individual treatments are $600, and a package of 3 is $1,500.
