PRP or Ultherapy to achieve the best anti-aging results?

Question

Hi, I'm a 37-year-old male who notices signs of aging. Since the age of 32, i've been using skinceuticals products and I have a bit of dysport. Obviously, anti-aging treatments are expensive and numerous. Since I need to prioritize, what would you recommend? Ultherapy or PRP? My skin is good and a look a few years younger than my age. I'm aware no face pic is provided. But what should I prioritize in order to achieve the best results (anti-aging)?

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

There are a variety of non-surgical treatments that can be used to help with anti-aging.  Ultherapy and PRP are options.  Another option would be micro needling using radio frequency.  Lasers and chemical peels can also possibly help.  An examination of you would be helpful to determine which treatment might be most beneficial to you.

I recommend Ultherapy as a non-surgical preventative procedure over other procedures on the market. Ultherapy is FDA cleared for lifting as well as tightening. Ultherapy builds brand new collagen, is safe on all skin types, can be done even in the summer, and has no down time with long-lasting results. Ultherapy is a single treatment, whereas PRP is done in a series, requires blood draws and is injected into your face. Ultherapy uses ultrasound, which is safe enough to use on a fetus and your face.
