Can Ultherapy be used to treat deep nasolabial folds?

Question

Can ulttherapy be used on deep furrows/nasal labial area. Injections have not made any difference (Juvaderm XC), Radiesse & Restalyne)

Laurie A. Casas, MD, FACS · Answer

Ultherapy does not directly treat nasolabial folds, however, Ultherapy is a non-invasive facelift procedure to rejuvenate and tighten skin on the face, forehead and neck. Ultherapy treatments improve wrinkles on the face, neck and décolletage with no downtime. Ultherapy works by administering ultrasound energy to specific depths of skin and muscle with precise ultrasound guidance, which causes tissue tightening and collagen production.

For a non-surgical approach you will need to use different treatments to get the best results. Without seeing your photos I cannot advise you personally, but a combination of fillers, botulinum toxin, skin peels and Ultherapy +/- CO2 Fractional Laser Resurfacing will give best outcomes. Alternatively consider a surgical approach.

Ultherapy® can lift the cheeks, which in turn minimizes the nasolabial fold. For best results, please consult a board certified aesthetic dermatologist for a consultation.

Ulthera does not typically improve deep nasolabial folds. Without an in person evaluation, it is hard to give specific advice.
