If I Do a Full Face Ulthera Treatment, Will I No Longer Need to Do Botox on my Brow?

I use botox now to give me a little brow lift and to stop the vertical lines between my eyes...after Ulthera will I no longer need to do the brow lift portion of the botox and only do the vertical lines area? Thanks.

Can Ulthera lift the brow?

One of the areas that seems to respond well to Ultherapy is the lateral orbital skin and tail of brow. This is the same area that is treated with Botox. Ulthera is FDA approved for non-invasive brow lift; in the clinical trials about 85% of patients had a significant improvement.

Ulthera effect on brow wrinkles

The answer is definitely maybe. The reason is a complex balance of interactions between the muscles of expression around the eyes and forehead. The horizontal lines that develop in the forehead are often due to holding the eyebrows up, which in turn can be either because of heavy upper eyelids or a sagging brow. If the forehead is lifted enough with Ulthera, then these muscles can relax and the lines diminish. For the same reason, when Botox is used on the forehead, the lines will go... more
