Can Ulthera Be Done on the Neck Only, or is the Lower Face with It Necessary?

You can opt to have only the neck area treated with Ultherapy and see how you feel about it before proceeding with the rest of the face. We keep our patients comfortable throughout Ultherapy with various types of local anesthesia.  Another option is Exilis Elite, which uses radio frequency technology to treat the neck, face and body.  It can feel quite hot, but not painful.  You may want to check with a plastic surgeon who offers both options and find a solution that works best for you.  Ideally, your jaw area should be treated along with your neck. Good Luck. 

Hi Daisy,

Ulthera can be performed in segments such as only your neck, or only the mid face, or even just the upper lip.  The best results from Ulthera are seen when the full face and neck are treated.  We use all we can to make the procedure as comfortable as possible for our patients with local anesthesia.  See the referenced videos below for more information.  Good luck and be well.
