Would Ultherapy Help Tear Troughs and Sagging Jawlines?

I'm 43 years old, and I've receiving non-ablative laser and radio frequency facial treatments monthly for the past 6 years. I have also tried fraxel lasers and RF, such as Affirm and Pixel RF. Am wondering if Ultherapy would help my tear troughs and very slightly sagging jawlines? How many treatments would I need to see results? Thanks a ton!

Ultherapy works for the jawline but needs combined therapies for the tear trough region

Ultherapy works quite well in your case where there is mild sagging of the jawline - and in the lower cheek- jawline regions produce the most consistent results. The tear trough region and the oblique soft low valley that continues down the cheek from this region in some people can be helped by ultherapy. The anatomic "low areas" though do require some kind of filling to properly correct the deformity either with hyaluronic acid fillers (my preference in the clinic) or fat grafting if we are... more
