I've read knock-off Ultherapy machines cause damage. How can patients know if their practitioner is using an authentic device?

Question

What is the name of the authentic ultherapy machine, so that a patient can ask their practitioner to make sure the practitioner is not using a counterfeit device? Thanks.

Thank you for your question. The machine itself should say Ultherapy. You may also request to see proof that the device is not a counterfeit. Hope this helps.

Richard Baxter, MD · Answer

Ultherapy is the only FDA-approved high-intensity microfocused ultrasound (HIFU) device for noninvasive skin lifting so you should ask for it by name. Counterfeits will usually not say Ultherapy but refer to it as HIFU or something that sounds similar.Interestingly the photo in Dr. Emer's reply is not Ultherapy.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Go to a reputable, board certified physician. You can also usually check the company website to see who carries the device. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.
