I had Ultherapy a few years ago. It really did nothing. It was painful and expensive. If Ultherapy didnt work for me how can I expect Profound to be any different?
Answer: How does Ultherapy compare to Profound? Hi NB,Sorry to hear about your poor experience with Ultherapy. The results of both Ultherapy and Profound RF are dependent upon appropriate patient selection (age, life style, sun damage, tobacco use, etc.), realistic physician and patient expectations, as well as the treating physician. These devices are not commodities, rather they are safe and effective non-surgical skin lifting and tightening tools that when used properly on carefully selected problems work well. Profound RF is a different technology and works at a different depth of skin than Ultherapy. As long as you are in good health with a normal healing response with collagen production then Profound RF (though also pricey) should help. I would advise consultation with a few experts in the field before committing your time, money, and "comfort or lack thereof" to any treatment. As with any facial aesthetic treatment it is essential to make sure that you choose your treating physician carefully based upon their skill, knowledge, results, experience, and most importantly their natural artistic vision. Good luck and be well!!!

Answer: How does Ultherapy compare to Profound? Great question and an important one. Depending on your (1)facial anatomy and (2)HOW ULTHERA WAS PERFORMED---the amount and depth of energy delivered, you may have benefiting from Ulthera more than you think in the form of anti-aging, from tightening your deep tissue support. Ulthera delivers ultrasound energy as rice shaped "torpedos" at two depths under the skin. Profound RF was clinically designed to rejuvenate only the skin, including collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. I would encourage you to watch both of my videos but could only mark one for you. Hope this helps.

Answer: Ultherapy vs Profound vs Thermage and others. I have all three devices and more, however to answer your question is a little more complex- Profound gives longer downtime, and is less predictable than Ultherapy. It is more painful, and downtime of 10 days can be expected with heavy bruising. Ultherapy, Ulthera, Thermage, and all other non surgical devices have a role to play, but patient selection is critical. Living and working in Brisbane, Australia, I see a lot of people with significant sun damage, and would like 'skin tightening'. Only 1 in 3 of my patients are suite for Profound- Ultherapy- Thermage, hence seeing someone who can assess your suitability for treatment is CRITICAL for an outcome. In some cases I only offer patients one choice, and that maybe surgical, in others it maybe a combination of lasers and fillers. See someone who has many skill sets, including laser, filling, surgical and non- surgical energy devices. This way a method NOT a device will give you results. Dr Davin Lim, Brisbane. Australia.
