TAMPA, Fla., Dec. 10, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Capping off a successful year of growth and geographic expansion, Ideal Image, a leading specialist in laser hair removal, is now adding Ultherapy®, a non-invasive skin lift and tightening treatment, to its service offerings. This innovative cosmetic procedure will initially be available in 40 Ideal Image centers across 16 markets in the U.S.

As with its laser hair removal services, only highly qualified and trained medical professionals (Registered Nurses, Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners) will administer Ultherapy treatments, aiming to ensure the ultimate safety and comfort of each guest.

In line with its continued national and recent expansion into Canada this month, Ideal Image now has 123 centers in 31 states across the U.S. and two locations in Canada. 

Ideal Image was featured for a second time on Lifetime Television's "The Balancing Act," as part of the show's Mission Makeover health and wellness series.
