Ulthera versus regular Ultrasound

Hi, The reason Ulthera is able to achieve such great results with high patient satisfaction is the whole basis of the technology. Low level Ultrasound is unfocused and unable to penetrate to the level of Ultherapy. Ultherapy is micro focused ultrasound which is developed to go deep to certain areas of the skin and below to skin to lift. Each transducer of Ultherapy is specific to the level you can go. Warmly, Dr. Liu

Ulthera is microfocused ultrasound

There are some very important differences between Ulthera and other forms of ultrasound. The most important is microfocusing; it is like light focused with a lens. If you picture the difference between sunlight on a surface vs. a lens focusing the light at a specific point, you will get the idea. The nonfocused light will warm the surface, the focused light will create a much more intense effect. Ulthera is focused to specific depths in the skin to stimulate collagen regeneration, which is... more

What is the difference between Ulthera and regular ultrasound?

Ulthera is focused ultrasound so that the sound waves meet at the dermal layer of the skin with the superficial transducer and at the deeper connective tissue layer with the deeper transducer. Regular ultrasound is not focused so that the sound waves do not meet. It is the fact that Ulthera focuses the sound waves that causes the different layers to be heated which causes the tightening and collagen formation.
