Ultherapy Vs Thermage for Skin Tightening

Ultherapy procedure delivers consistent energy to the SMAS layers or deep layers of skin  by using ultrasound technology under direct visualization to lift the sagging skin.Where as Thermage is a  radiofrequency device which delivers the energy into the tissue layer with out direct vision. Both procedures can be effective, but have many limitations,  the results are usually seen after 6 months. The Ultherapy results depends upon multiple factors such as the degree of sagging, age of the patient, the knowledge of anatomy and the experience of the person who performs. In our office all Ultherapy procedures are performed by a Board Certified physician. I firmly believe Ultherapy is a better choice since I can see all the tissue layers before delivering the energy.

Ultherapy is a more effective treatment for skin tightening. Ulthera allows us to use a monitor to visualize and concentrate on the desired area. Ulthera also allows us to target deeper layers of the skin, giving us better results. 

We carry both Ultherapy and Thermage and they both have place in our clinic. While both treatments offer collagen stimulation through the use of heat there are distinct difference that can set one apart from the other. Thermage uses a patented radio frequency technology to heat the skin, stimulating existing collagen and promoting new collagen. Ultherapy is Ultrasound which goes to work deep in the skin's surfacing creating new collagen. Its because of the imaging we're able to deliver energy in the right areas for a more customized lift. During consultations we help our patients deciding which is the better treatment for them based on many factors such as  extent of skin laxity, areas they want to address and over all desired results.
