There are many treatments for this area. Fractional co2 laser or fractional RF treatments are usually best to this area in combination with fillers and/or botox. I suggest you see a cosmetic dermatologist with experience in lasers and fillers. Best, Dr. Emer
Hi Laura. Those creases you refer to are called nasolabial folds. By lifting, toning and tightening the skin of the face Ultherapy can help soften the nasolabial folds a little bit. But, it's not really significant. Because the nasolabial folds deepen because of volume loss the best way to treat them is with dermal fillers. You are right though, Ultherapy does work very well for the jaw and jowls. Best of luck to you on your treatment!
Yes, Ultherapy can be used to reduce perioral or "smoker" lines. This is an off label treatment but is safe in the hands of an experienced provider. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
Ultherapy can be helpful in achieving some tightening on areas of the face, neck and chest. When it is used to treat along the jaw, it is possible that there might be some improvement to the creases that run from the nose to the mouth. You would need to be examined to determine if you might be an appropriate candidate for the procedure.
The simple answer is yes, it will help with the nasal labial folds over time. Since Ultherapy stimulates your own collagen to grow it can take three to six months to see results. If you are looking for a more immediate results. You should look into fillers. These can also be combined with the Ulthera.Best of luck!
Hi Laura, your question is a good one. The simple answer is yes ultherapy can improve the appearance tof the nasolabial folds(the area you are referring to), by providing improved skin and deep tissue integrity. This is mainly due to the increase in elastin and collagen generated in the tissues after an ultherapy treatment. A noticeable effect may take many months to appreciate however. In addition please be aware that very often this area needs to be augmented with a dermal filler many weeks to months after the ultherapy. I advocate for strictly the use of HA fillers or maybe fat in this area. When performed in combination with an ulthera treatment the results are typically outstanding, better than with either treatment alone. Hope this helps.

While Ultherapy is non-surgical, unlike Botox or fillers, the results do not "wear off". Ultherapy applies ultrasonic heat to essentially "cook" the deep layers of the dermis and fibro-fatty layers underneath. The results are much like surgery in that they have "reset the clock" but because we...
Hi Peggy. While it is impossible to determine why Ultherapy did not work on you without an in-person evaluation or at least seeing before and after pictures, there are some general reasons why some people may not get the results they want. The two most common reasons are that either you were a...
