I've been using an UltraMed 3mhz setting ultrasonic home device as Ultherapy. But I've stopped for now, after 3x usage, because it seems my jowls are actually worsening. All the images I have seen before and after of Ultherapy patients seem to make jowls worse. Is nobody seeing this? What's the issue here? Thank youl.

Answer: Ultherapy for Jowl and facial lifting and tightening in my NYC patients
In a word, absolutely. Thermage does not predispose the skin for impaired healing and Ultherapy treats the skin at a deeper level than Thermage. I have provided these treatments with short intervals in between many times without any adverse events.
One Ultherapy may be equivalent or better than a series of non-invasive ThermiSmooth treatments for facial tightening and lifting. In my NYC practice I have seen better results with ThermiTight than ThermiSmooth and Ultherapy but ThermiTight is minimally invasive, and Ultherapy and ThermiSmooth...
The two are unrelated and I can vouch for that as I have never seen a patient complain about developing migraine headaches. I have seen patients get frontal scalp tingling when they had eyebrow lift with Utherapy but that is a different type of feeling than migraine headaches and it goes away...
