Infini RF effectively treats surgical, traumatic scars and acne scars. Ultherapy is not used for scar treatment. Infini RFcosts more but gives you more for your money, with a high degree of patient satisfaction with results. Ultherapy costs less but has a lower patient satisfaction level.
Ultherapy microfocused ultrasound with visualization precisely targets tissues at pre-determined, subdermal depths up to 4.5 mm—more than 100% deeper than lasers and 50% deeper than RF—without affecting intervening tissues or the skin's surface.
Types of energy
The main difference between Thermage and Ultherapy is the type of energy each uses to restore collagen production. Radiofrequency is used for Thermage, while Ultherapy uses ultrasound. This energy difference is important because ultrasound can generally reach deeper into the dermal layer.
1) RF cannot tighten skin as much as ultrasound can 2) RF takes many sessions thus is not useful for patients who are short on time and need a lot of change 3) RF cannot target deeper fat layers and give a strong mechanical lifting effect. These flaws in RF can be overcome by a combination of UltraFormer and threads.
Ultherapy cost is more upfront. However, Ultherapy requires fewer treatments and lasts longer than RF Microneedling. So your Ultherapy cost may end up being less than RF Microneedling price in the long run. What's more, you may want to consider both treatments used in tandem, depending on your skincare concerns.
Thermage is better for patients who care more about addressing the texture and quality of sagging skin. It has the power to tackle problematic issues like cellulite or drooping fat thanks to its emphasis on contouring. However, Ultherapy is generally more effective when it comes to stimulating deeper skin layers.
Laser resurfacing This is the most effective procedure for tightening loose skin.
As low-risk, convenient, and effective as they are, apply the same level of scrutiny in choosing a provider for non-surgical RF treatments as you would for cosmetic surgery. Like any concentrated dose of energy, RF carries a risk for burns if performed incorrectly.
The unfortunate truth is that radiofrequency can cause fat loss. The heat generated from RF can cause fat cells beneath the skin to die, referred to by some scientists as “active thermal bystander effect (ATBE).
Radiofrequency, or RF, uses energy to stimulate collagen production, but unlike a laser, the heat energy is electrically-based rather than light-based. RF is a suitable option for most people. It can target loose skin on areas like the neck and chin but can be used on the body as well.
for Jowls. Radiofrequency (RF) therapy uses energy waves to heat the deep layers of the skin and stimulate collagen production. At Essential Aesthetics, we offer both RF skin tightening and microneedling to help diminish the appearance of the jowls.
Traditional microneedling is good for slower and more subtle rejuvenation. If you are looking for improved results, RF microneedling is recommended for enhancing the overall tone and texture of the skin as it better facilitates the production of collagen and elastin.
Pros of RF microneedling
RF microneedling is also suitable for most skin types. Patients don't have to turn to plastic surgery to treat their skin issues. This means it requires no incisions and far less recovery than traditional facelift surgery. You can also expect noticeable improvements in a shorter amount of time.
Are the results of radiofrequency permanent? Results are considered to be permanent in the areas that have been treated. However, if you do not maintain your weight, chances are the fat will start accumulating in other areas which might not be very appealing.
A 2017 study looked at the effect of using RF therapy to break down fat in the lower face of 14 middle-aged Asian women. After 5 weeks, more than 90 percent of the women had a reduction in fat, and 60 percent were satisfied or very satisfied with their results.
Radiofrequency skin tightening is a safe, effective anti-aging treatment for a number of different parts of the body. It is a popular treatment for the face and neck area. It can also help with loose skin around your belly or upper arms. Some doctors offer radiofrequency treatments for body sculpting.

The effects of radiofrequency treatments will continue to improve over the next few months as the skin produces new collagen. Results typically last for a minimum of six months, although with ongoing treatments, results are often long-lasting.
Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that lifts the neck, chin and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest. As we age, collagen breaks down, resulting in loss of skin strength and elasticity. Through time-tested ultrasound technology, Ultherapy helps produce new collagen growth.
The only skin care product that can truly provide a slight tightening effect with regular use is Retin A, or Tretinoin. This is because Vitamin A helps speed up skin cell turnover, helping to boost collagen production.
While Ulthera is limited to treating the facial area and décolletage, Morpheus8 and Halo treatments offer more versatility with their ability to address skin concerns on other parts of the body, including areas such as the abdomen, legs, buttocks, arms, hands, chest and neck.
Jennifer Aniston, Christie Brinkley, Vanessa Williams, and Paulina Porizkova are just a few of the stars who use Ultherapy as their go-to alternative to old-school facelifts. If you've ever wondered how everyone in Hollywood is all endlessly youthful—but still natural—it's probably Ultherapy.
