Am I good candidate for HIFU Ultherapy (Ultraformer III)? (Photo)

Hello, you are a good candidate for Ultherapy. While age isn't the sole determining factor, Ultherapy is commonly recommended for individuals aged 30 and older. At this age, collagen production starts to decline, and the skin's natural elasticity begins to decrease. Individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity or sagging can benefit from Ultherapy. It's often used to address sagging jowls, a drooping brow line, or a less-defined jawline.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

I think you would make a good ultherapy candidate- early sagging, medium face (not volume deficient)

How does Ultherapy work?
Using MicroFocused Ultrasound with Visualisation (“MFU-V”), the Ulthera device delivers ultrasound energy to the deeper layers of skin to generate focal areas of heating known as Thermal Coagulation Points. Collagen rich layers of the skin- such as the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (“SMAS”) and deep dermis are targeted. The treatment causes existing collagen to contract and triggers new collagen production- as evidenced by immediate skin tightening that further improves over the next 2-3 months. Using the patented DeepSEE® technology, the Ulthera system provides real-time ultrasound visualization of the skin down to 8mm, allowing practitioners to deliver the treatment at the optimal tissue depth and avoid injuring structures such as blood vessels or bone.

Hello,Since you are young with mild laxity, you are likely a good candidate for Ultherapy to help tighten the jowls and cheeks. It does take several months to get the results and these are not surgical results. However, Ultherapy is a great procedure to have to tighten those areas when you are too early for surgery.
