A browlift with Ultherapy can perk up the face and tighten skin to remove fine lines and wrinkles. Typically, those in their thirties and older who have mild to moderate skin laxity are candidates.
The Ultherapy brow lift works to lift the top eyelid using advanced and completely non-invasive ultrasound technology. This restorative technology smoothes forehead wrinkles while lifting and tightening sagging skin on the forehead and upper eyelids.
Some other things to keep in mind: Ultherapy® is non-invasive, as laser beams are transmitted with the use of a special hand piece. Botox® is minimally invasive, requiring only the use of a very thin needle. The results of Botox® may last around six months, while Ultherapy® benefits can be seen for up to two years.
Although it's approved as a skin tightening treatment on the face, on the chest, it's approved for smoothing lines and wrinkles. Just as Ultherapy helps stimulate the production of collagen in the dermal layer on the face, so it does on the chest area.
The best age for Ultherapy is left to the discretion of anyone seeking to improve mid - moderate skin laxity. However, most candidates begin in their mid 30s to 40s.
Can you be too old for Ulthera? The qualified answer is no. As long as you are in good health and your skin condition is good, there is really no age limit for Ulthera treatments. It's the quality of the skin and the degree of laxity that counts.
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.
The results can be worth it. In fact, Ultherapy is often regarded as a great option for patients with moderate facial sagging, and in fact has won year after year as the best non-invasive lifting treatment.
Ultherapy increases collagen synthesis by 42%.
The rate of production for collagen Types I and III—those types most closely associated with the effects of aging—increased 42% in the side treated with Ultherapy.
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.
Ultherapy results last longer than fillers, and patients only need to come in for treatments every 9 to 12 months. You can see results for yourself by visiting our gallery of before-and-after photos featuring Dr. Jewell's patients. The results of a filler treatment can be seen immediately after the treatment.
We actually encourage patients to have botox in their face, either prior to or shortly after ultherapy treatment, because we find that they get a better result when they are not moving a lot.
There's a 95% Chance You'll Love Ultherapy®
Xeomin is a botulinum toxin, which like Botox Cosmetic or Dysport, is used to relax frown lines between the eyebrows. Ultherapy® is an FDA-approved, noninvasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to tighten and lift the skin naturally—without surgery or downtime.
Most patients notice the most dramatic improvements in the elasticity of their skin within two to three months of their initial treatment. The skin tightening benefits will continue to increase for up to six months after your treatment.
On a scale from one to ten, when asked, “How painful is ultherapy?”, we can easily rate it with confidence as a low-pain treatment. This treatment is not painful, but you may experience a warm sensation beneath the surface of the skin due to collagen stimulation.
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.
The Right Age for the Treatment
Typically, these patients are about 30 to 40 years old, but there is no age requirement for the treatment. Younger candidates are fully welcome to receive the therapy, as well as older patients.
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.
To this day, Ulthera maintains that “no permanent injuries to facial nerves have been reported” from Ultherapy procedures. Ultherapy users have also reported eye damage following the procedure.
Does Ultherapy melt fat? No. Sometimes people with thin faces feel that they have lost volume from their Ultherapy treatment. In actuality, the lifting and tightening of their skin may make a thin face appear a little more narrow.
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.
