CONTACT NOW Answer: Ultherapy vs. Thermage Thank you for the question. Thermage and Ultherapy both use energy to restore and rebuild collagen production in the dermal layer of the skin. But Ulthera uses ultrasound energy that can usually reach deeper into the dermal layer, even down to the fat and SMAS, to provide more dramatic and noticeable skin tightening. Thermage uses radio frequency energy at only one depth. Both create heat, which tightens the skin from under the surface. The person performing Ultherapy often has more control over the depth of treatment than a person performing Thermage therefore choosing a qualified technician is key.

Answer: Thermage vs. Ultherapy
Both devices can cause collagen formation in the dermis to help tighten the facial features. Thermage has applicators that are very small for use on eyelid skin and large ones for body sites such as arms, legs and abdomens. Its medium applicator is used for the face. Ultherapy has smaller and medium applicators but off facial sites are off-label and studies are ongoing. Thermage uses radiofrequency energy and Ultherapy uses focused deep ultrasound energy. Both hurt but the discomfort is over when the energy is stopped from being delivered. These non-invasive techniques can help rejuvenate the skin tone but are not expected to give the same result as a facelift. They also do not improve the skin surface so don't expect wrinkles to be better. Overall, we have had higher patient satisfaction with improvement in facial jowl lifting, cheek lifting, forehead lifting and neck lifting with Ultherapy than Thermage. I still find Thermage very useful on the loose skin of abdomens and the loose skin of thighs.
