Since abdominal skin is not thin, isn't it a waste to use the 1.5mm Ultherapy transducer on it?

Question

Had Ultherapy done to small square around my belly button and they used 1.5 and 3.5. Going to another place that will use 3.5mm and 4mm for my flanks. Why did first place bother with 1.5? Is it cheaper for them?

Mike Majmundar, MD · Answer

Although all Ultherapy transducers cost are equal, the 1.5 is most effective in treatment of fine lines, wrinkles and texture.

Michael A. Zadeh, MD, FACS · Answer

The 1.5mm transducer is the most superficial Ultherapy transducer and works best for superficial "crepey" type skin. Ultherapy works best when used in combination with other treatments. I don't think it's a good choice for the abdomen or flanks. There are better treatments out there for those areas. Best wishes.
