New Ultrasound Facelift - How Good is It Really?

I saw the new tonight and they showed an Austin, Tx Dr. performing it. Does this really work? I had a horrible CO2 laser procedure done around my eyes that left my skin crepy and wrinkled. Ive tried TCA peels but nothing works to fix it. Im only 41 and look great except under my right eye.

Ultrasound facelift?

Ultrasound can be good, but radio frequency is better, in my opinion, such as used with the Accent machine.

The new Ulthera does work, but it sounds like you might need something else

I have the Ulthera in my office, and it does give certain patients wonderful results. However it sounds like you might need something else to treat under the eye. A picture or examination would be best. see video

Ultrasound facelift

Ultherapy is an innovative technology that non-invasively delivers ultrasound energy to variable depths thus causing injury to the soft tissue layer being targetted. The injury recruits collagen and causes tightening and lifting. The results are subtle but can be repeated and treatments are well tolerated with no down time. This is not a substitute for a facelift if you are looking with dramatic results. It may also not be a great option for the loose skin around the eyes. I strongly... more

Ultrasound Facelift?

I think that when you are referring to an "ultrasound Facelift", the treatment you are describing is Ultherapy. Although I have generally heard good reports about this treatment, it is not, should not be described as, and should not be marketed as a Facelift. The sales representatives and the Surgeons I have spoke to about this advice are very clear about this point.

Ulthera - how good is it?

Ulthera is the only medical device that I have experienced that can deliver predictable energy to the deep layers of the face without surgery or downtime. It will cause tightening of the skin and deep layers of the face, though not nearly as significantly as a Facelift would. The ultimate results will depend more on the physiology of each individual patient, but there is no question that the device does what it claims to do to the tissue it is treating. The treatment is... more

Ultherapy does work for many conditions

The latest treatment of non surgical energy or Ulthera ,takes micro-focused ultrasound waves to heat the deeper tissues of the face, neck and brow. We have seen some dramatic results in good candidates...

Ultrasound facelift

An ultrasound facelift does not work well. A facelift is best done surgically. If you are having issues around your eyes then the problem may need to be addressed in several different ways. An exam would be critical.

Hyaluronic Acid fillers are best for treating wrinkled skin around the eyes

Hyaluronic Acid fillers are best for treating wrinkled skin around the eyes. Tightening the skin will lead to a more hollowed look.

Ultrasound Facelift

Ultrasound (Ultherapy) will improve skin quality for signs of early aging, but it will never replace a facelift. While it will improve skin quality, it is inappropriate to call this a facelift..

Ultrasound Facelift - Yes, it really works.

Board Certified Dermatologist with over 30 years experience here, and the new Ultherapy - nonsurgical "face-lift" is really impressive. Why? Because we see the results. Our patients see the results. It works. FDA - approved for both lifting and tightening, this procedure has been trialed and tested. Sagging skin around the brow, cheeks, jawline and neck all contribute to a “tired” appearance, which can easily be addressed with Ultherapy. The results are... more

How good is an ultrasound facelift?

Ultherapy, the procedure that you are referring to is a non-invasive procedure that lifts and tightens facial tissue. It is not a replacement for a face lift and should not be compared to one. The procedure is best for early signs of aging and mild to moderate tissue laxity. In these patients, the results are good and predictable. If you want significant tightening and are willing to invest the time and money to obtain those results, then a traditional face... more

Bogus ultrasound facelift

Another way to waste your money with something called an ultrasound facelift. No non-surgical procedure has been developed that makes any significant difference on a predictable and regular level.
