Ulthera can tighten and improve soft tissue and SMAS support in the neck and face. It is not the ideal choice for treating excess nasal skin. We use Ultherapy commonly in our practice and continue to see very positive results. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Ultherapy utilizes ultrasound technology to create heat under the skin and force the body to produce collagen. This process takes about 3 months to yield a full result and can yield impressive results when done by a qualified practitioner. It sounds like what you are looking to achieve would be best addressed by a surgical procedure but my best recommendation would be to schedule a consult with a local board certified plastic surgeon and discuss your options on the surgical and nonsurgical side.
I would not expect Ultherapy to be effective in narrowing a rounded nasal tip. Ultherapy is an effective technique to noninvasively lift skin. What you're describing will most likely require surgical revision.
Ulthera is a non-invasive treatment that works to tighten and contour the skin, and would not be effective to reduce the thickness of nasal skin. Ablative resurfacing lasers like the the Sciton Er;YAG or the CO2 may effectively reshape your nose skin.
Ultherapy is not a skin surface resurfacing device and can't sculpt the contour of the thick taut skin of the nose. The best way to recontour the thickness of nasal skin is with ablative resurfacing. This usually involves radiofrequency cauterization and / or carbon dioxide laser (Fraxel Repair or the older fully ablative CO2 laser)
Ultherapy is recommended to be used on the face, neck and decolletage areas. Although some other areas (arms, buttocks, thighs) are currently being evaluated, it's application on the nose would be of no benefit, because the shape of the nose is largely secondary to cartilage and bone, and Ultherapy would not thin thick nasal skin.I hope this helps.
Ulthera can be used to treat the face, neck and chest. It would not reduce skin thickness on the nose, and generally does not reduce skin thickness in areas where it is used.
Ultherapy is FDA approved to treat skin laxity on the face, neck, decolletage and around the eyes - as well as for brow lifting. It has not been used and would not work to reshape the tip of the nose.Read the Ultherapy book on the link below. It is under the section 'ebooks'
Unfortunately Ultherapy wouldn't help to narrow your nose. Ultherapy is used to boost collagen, so it is best in places like around the eyes, cheeks, neck and decollate.
While Ultherapy is cleared for use in the decolletage I have never seen an Ultherapy result which was similar to the lifting ability of the mastopexy procedure. One thing that we have seen some excellent results with though is a combination of the two procedures, where you would undergo a...
When purchasing non FDA cleared devices, especially from an overseas source, one does not know exactly what they're getting. Is it safe? Has it been calibrated and double checked before release? Is it a sham treatment without any true energy being delivered? Is the energy delivered not being...
Ultherapy is a no-downtime procedure for the vast majority of my patients that I have treated in my NYC practice but I have had a couple of patients who did note some swelling for a few days. The swelling goes away and usually increased collagen production occurs from the procedure ( which...
You can be given medications for anxiety, pain and sedation. I also sometimes use nitrous, this is very helpful. I suggest going to someone who offers better pain control and the procedure will be more tolerable. Thermage is equally as good in my hands without any pain....
It is safe to have ultherapy treatments before you are pregnant or before you have artificial insemination. However, Ultherapy is not recommended during pregnancy. If you are really interested in Ultherapy, I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist and...
