Ulthera: Rejuvenation from the inside out

The primary difference between Ultherapy and laser resurfacing treatments is the depth at which your skin is treated. While lasers focus energy on the surface of the skin, Ultherapy targets deep below the skin (3 mm and 4.5 mm beneath the surface). Treating the deeper layers of skin provides a predictable lifting and tightening from the inside out. I have seen great results using a combination of these two treatments. Ultherapy does the “heavy lifting,”... more

Ulthera in Las Vegas...

I have been doing Ulthera treatments in Las Vegas for over 3 years, performed over 500 treatments. We have had fantastic results.

Ultherapy, Pelleve or Thermage for preventative facial sagging

Non-invasive skin tightening devices for the face can be started before the aging process is very noticable. Pelleve is a radiofrequency device that can help tighten the skin.

Lasers can tighten but often do this by either fractionally non-ablatively removing damaged collagen from the dermis through microchannels in the epidermis, or fractionally, ablatively,... more

Ulthera vs laser for skin tightening: the noninvasive option

There are important differences between Ulthera and laser peeling such as Fraxel for skin tightening. Both are intended primarily for facial rejuvenation.
