Rep from ultherapy company gave presentation in drs office said how much better it was because it could get to depths 3mm and 4.5mm that lasers can't go. Showed before and after pics that look great. Price sheet is handed out for all the different areas. When I get home I see it says shallow depth(1.5) in a full face and neck tx. Is 1.5 even going to do anything or should I go to someone else. This seems very misleading unless I am missing something
Answer: Ulthearpy depth Ultherapy is done at different depths depending on the area of the face being treated. While the procedure is performed, a screen shows the doctor of nurse where the waves of energy are going under the skin. The 4.5mm depth can be used on the cheek or jowl for example, but the 1.5mm is used on the lower lids and for the lip lines. The 1.5mm can also be used for finer lines on the face.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Ultherapy tightens the skin of faces, neck and other body sites External focused ultrasound is delivered through Ultherapy which creates heat in the dermis and tightens the connective tissue layers and helps your own dermis produce more collagen.Depending on the location of the face, different sites have different thicknesses and the depth the energy needs to traverse to reach the target plane of tissue varies. Many times the most superficial transducer is not needed. This 1.5mm depth of energy can be used when fine creases or wrinkles exists such as the crows' feet, upper lip lines, and even the crepy skin of bad sun damage on the chest (especially for those who had used sun reflectors in the past) In addition to the 1.5 mm, there are more commonly used 3 and 4.5mm. transducers. I evaluate each patient individually in consultation to determine what they need for the best result.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's

Answer: Ultherapy and Depths The depths are used differently in different areas depending on the situation being treated. The eyes versus the jowls for example. I suggest going to a reputable place that does a lot of these treatments to get the best results. Dr. Emer.

Answer: Ultherapy Depths of Treatment Hi Ethome. Dr. Burgess has given a good explanation below on the different depths of treatment for Ultherapy. The 1.5mm treatment level is used for individuals who have fine lines or crepy skin that needs superficial tightening. In our practice we rarely use this treatment level alone, unless it is just for underneath the eyes or around the mouth. If you have any doubts about the information you received you should contact the doctor's office. Maybe they gave you the wrong handout? If there is still doubt you can always get a second opinion from an experienced Ultherapy physician. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Ultherapy and 1.5mm depths I understand how this can be confusing for patients because it can be presented several different ways from providers. In general, most providers do two depths for Ultherapy. Ultherapy is micro focused heat that is ultrasound based and most pts are treated at the 4.5mm and the 3mm depths. But then the newer 1.5mm depth transducer became available. I think of this as an adjunct to the two original depths of 4.5mm and 3mm. In my practice we do a "triple depth" because we believe that it gives the best results. This means that we do the 4.5mm, 3mm and the 1.5mm so that you are getting treatment at 3 different levels. In my practice we would probably not do the 1.5mm depth alone. But Ultherapy is different from a laser. The laser is typically even a more superficial treatment that may work on fine lines, texture, skin quality, and some pigmentation. We like to use the Smartskin fractionated CO2 laser in our office for this most superficial type of treatment. The reality is, that when we use Ultherapy, Smartskin laser and good skin care together... we can have some smashing results without surgery. The layering effect is beautiful.
