I had a consultation for ultatherapy for full face only. The technician suggested 1400 lines for just my face (combination of 3 and 4.5) with heavier concentration on lower half of my face. I thought that sounded quite high given what I’ve read. I do not have deep lines or sagging. I asked her about the number and she said given my age (48) she wanted to give me more in the areas that bother me. She said there was no negative side effects by giving more lines. Does this sound right?

Radiofrequency skin tightening treatments such as Viora®, or the skin smoothing laser Fraxel® or Clear & Brilliant® are great options for tightening loose undereye skin. They are often best used in combination, over time.
