Female, early 60s with good skin-minimum wrinkles & no sun damage. I take care of my skin. With age-given I have a more rounder face, I can get some sagging. Mostly by my cheeks and chin. I know at my age, there is minimal collagen production. One Cosmetic MD me suggested Venus Legacy-10 sessions w/ 30% improvement. Does NOT have Ultherapy. Another cosmetic MD has a special on Ulterapy. Consultation next week . Both will cost ~$3000. Which would you say is a better option for someone my age.

Answer: Facelift Still The Gold Standard 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.

Answer: Ultherapy Non-Surgical Ultrasound Skin Tightening -- add Lasers, Radiofrequency, Sculptra, Microneedling/PRP 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
