I had ultherapy about 2 years ago but not great results for the money. I am 40 years old and have some sagging of the face and under the chin and just look tired all of a sudden. Also hollows/wrinkles have appeared under my eyes. I'd prefer to try a non surgical option before my last resort of a facelift as still so young. Not sure what treatment is best to try, if it's radiofrequency and if so what machine is the best?
Answer: Alternatives to Facelift: Endolift Laser and PDO Threads Patients with moderate skin laxity of the lower face and neck are ideal candidates for the Endolift Laser which is FDA approved and used throughout Europe. I brought it to the Connecticut area to offer my patients an alternative to a surgical facelift. When used in combination with PDO Threads and possibility facial fillers, the results are ideal and the downtime is minimal.

Answer: Considering options From your photo you will likely have the best results from a combination of treatments. Fillers can be used to add volume and lift the cheek area. Botox can be used to treat dynamic lines and wrinkles. Treatments such as FaceTite and Morpheus8 can tighten skin, melt fat, and increase collagen production. See a board certified plastic surgeon or my website to learn more.

Answer: Morpheus8 is a combination of radio frequency and microneedling that can help you achieve a more defined look Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Answer: What Is Best NonSurgical Treatment Alternative to Facelift? ThermiTight and ThermiLift Create Nonsurgical Facelift The most effective way I’ve found to treat sagging in the lower face and neck is a combination procedure using liposuction and ThermiTight’s radiofrequency (RF) energy, which is delivered through a needle-like probe. The combination of removing fat and tightening the skin makes a big difference in the jawline that is very close to the effects you would get with a neck lift. The benefits can last about as long, too — up to 7 years — as the RF energy stimulates your skin to produce new and robust collagen.

Answer: Volume & Tightening | Best Look! Thank you for the question, and thank you for posting your photo. First of all, you look great! To turn back the clock a bit, you may find better results by volumizing the cheek area (Apple and zygomatic) to provide a natural youthful look with dermal fillers. Thr Ulthera is operator dependent, and results will vary from experience to experience. I tailor my treatment plan for each individual to get the kind of results each patient is excited about. But I wonder if all along it was some volume that was needed in the mid face that left you dissatisfied with the Ulthera? Best luck, Dr. P.
