During 2 consultations, I was told that the skin under my eyes can be pulled down towards the orbital bone and that could treat at least some of my problem area skin under my eyes. Is this safe? Is the skin directly underneath my eyes to thin to treat with ultherapy? I’ve been reading that ulthera isn’t meant for the think skin under the eyes, only on the orbital bone??

Answer: Ultherapy for under eyes--add microneedling/prp, fillers, lasers In my practice we combine ultherapy with PRP injections/microneedling, lasers and/or fillers to get the best results. Please see an expert for combination treatment. Dr. Emer.

Answer: Ultherapy for Under Eyes Thank you for your question. Ultherapy is most commonly meant to treat tissue that is not directly under the eyes; it is meant to treat tissue at the orbital bone and below. The skin above the orbital bone is, as you mentioned, very thin. It is possible to get some of a treatment in the area but you need to see a physician that is highly experienced. Either way, you can only pull the skin so far down and get the treatment so high. This is probably not the best choice for treatment under the eyes. There are better and safer treatments out there for this delicate area such as radiofrequency treatments. In people that have severe lines and wrinkles under the eyes, botox, fillers, and/or surgery are typically recommended. I hope this helps. Best of luck to you!
