Thermage is an older treatment, around since 2002. In the early days, it was fairly uncomfortable, due to the amount of heat involved.

Never Too Old for Ulthera
Ulthera is designed to treat mild to moderate face and neck skin laxity. While younger patients tend to have faster and better results due to higher levels of collagen, older patients by no means are left out in the cold by Ulthera's rejuvenating effects of targeted ultrasound.
Ultherapy treatments stimulate the skin from the inside out to smooth and tighten many areas, including the face, jowls, eyes, and brow. Ultherapy is also effective for lifting the skin on specific areas of the body, including the neck, chest, knees, and stomach.
