Venus Legacy vs Ultherapy for Lady in Early 60s? Which is Better?

Hi Lilly,

Thanks for your question! Ultherapy and Venus Legacy are great options for enhancing your collagen production and restore some volume loss in your face. Both treatments are beneficial, the determining factor would be your time and how often you are able to visit each clinician. Ulthera is typically only one treatment every two to three years whereas Venus Legacy is performed once a week for 8-10 weeks. I hope this helps, good luck on your journey!

Lilly I appreciate your desires for aesthetic improvements of your face utilizing noninvasive techniques. Photos would help, because the real truth is non-invasive techniques like radio frequency claim “up  to”  30% improvement. However in most cases, minimal if any improvement is realized. 10 one weeks sessions later, after significant out-of-pocket expense, most patients in my experience have been extremely unhappy with the results. These machines were designed for much younger patients with need for minimal improvement! Most patients in their 60s require  some sort of a facelift(mini or full) to achieve the results they desire. Yes, this invasive procedure does require about a two week recovery, however the results are far superlative and last much longer, usually at least 10 years! Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to explore of the best options for you. Good luck.

A combination approach would give the most improvement with Ultherapy for neck skin tightening. I recommend Ultherapy with radiofrequency treatments, lasers, microneedling/PRP, and/or Sculptra to get increased collagen, tightening and improved skin tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
