Can Ultherapy laser fix my laugh lines and the fat in my neck and cheeks? (photo)

 Ultherapy is not a laser. It is focused ultrasound not only to visualize the treatment layers but uses the ultrasound to create little internal wounds via the ultrasound which your body will want to repair.  During this repair process you will create new collagen to give you the lift to your lower face that you are looking for. This will help diminish your nasal labial folds and marionette lines to help you look more well rested. There is no blood involved as with a Co2 laser.  Pain tolerance varies per patient.  I suggest you find a board certified Dermatologist to give you a consultation.

You completely need volume and lifting.  Resurfacing would be great for lines and texture but will not help volume or lift.  You are a face lift candidate but volume with fat or fillers would help give you a similar effect with less downtime.  See a facial rejuvenation expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound so it is not a laser. The advantage is that it can deliver the energy to specific depths under the skin where it stimulates collagen regeneration and lifting with no downtime. There is no nonsurgical procedure that does what a facelift or eyelid surgery does so I don't consider Ultherapy to be an alternative for patients who would be best served by a facelift. This depends on the age of the patient and other factors. My guess is that you would get a better result from a surgical procedure.

Ultherapy would be a great procedure for the lower face and neck. Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology to stimulate your own collagen to grow Which in return will tighten and lift the skin. As far as your wrinkles and frown lines Botox would be a good choice.  Botox will temporarily relax the muscle making the frown lines smooth. Botox typically can last between two to six months.Best of luck

Ulthera® ultrasound laser (Ultherapy®) is a safe and effective way to achieve a mild tightening and moderate "lifting" of the cheeks/neck/chest. It utilizes focused ultrasound waves (the same technology used for viewing babies while pregnant) to grow and tighten fibers in the deep skin and subcutaneous tissue, and is the current gold standard for non surgical lifting.

Ultherapy utilizes ultrasound, so it is not a laser and is not bloody. It reinvigorates the body’s natural collagen production, which makes your skin tighter.Because it is a non-surgical procedure, there is no downtime. Based on your picture, Ultherapy in combination with properly placed fillers would produce some results, but a facelift may be the best option. This can be best determined in an in-person consultation with a facial plastic surgeon.
