Posted under Ultherapy q&a

Per an Ultherapy consultation, I was told HIFU is better - more effective and not painful like Ultherapy. Is that true?

I want my face and neck done, and the place I was considering offers both Ultherapy and HIFU. I was steered toward HIFU as the better option, that it's newer and better. I've never heard of HIFU and not sure which option to take. They're offering both at the same price. They told me the HIFU treatment lasts about a year to 18 months. Also, what kind of professional can perform these treatments? Should they have a medical background? Please advise.
