How effective is Ulthera for the treatment of bands under the chin?

Question

I've already had a facelift and necklift along with fat transfer to cheeks, but I was wondering how effective is Ulthera for small bands under the chin? If Ulthera isn't a good option, any non-surgical recommendations?

Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

I have tried very hard for many years to improve neck bands with non surgical tightening procedures but I have not found any of my devices including Ultherapy to help. Ultherapy, in the right candidate, definitely allows me to tighten and lift sagging facial skin, just not muscular neck bands.Botox helps these bands look better and if a patient desires more improvement and is not willing to undergo a surgical necklift, I discuss the option of minimally-invasive ThermiTight but there is a week and a half or more of swelling and bruising often with this procedure.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's answer is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute medical advice.  The information provided should not be relied upon as a substitute for consultations with a qualified health professional who may be familiar with your individual medical needs.

Ultherapy is probably not going to help much at this point, as its great about 4y after a facelift for any potential loose skin in your neck- try botox into the neck bands, its your best option for noninvasive treatment for any residual neck banding, it will relax the muscles and make them less prominent.

Dysport® injections are great for smoothing and lifting neck bands. Ultherapy® is great for this purpose as well, and both are even better when done in combination. Please consult a board certified aesthetic dermatologist for a consultation.
