I'm getting full-face & neck ultherapy next month. I have 3 possible doctor's offices I am considering, all within $3500-4000 in price. All are VERY reputable surgeons, but in 2 offices, the nurse performs procedure and in one, the doctor does. I've read there's an "Art" to performing ultherapy, and it DOES MATTER who performs the treatment. If this is true, then why and how does the "Art" and Technique matter? And how does technique determine results? How do I pick the right one? Update: Photo removed

Answer: Ultherapy perfomred by a doctor
Ulthera is a foucsed ultrasound energy that is delivered in intense bursts to different areas of the face to induce tightening. The company has suggested two protocols already and the technique continues to evolve based on new treatments perfomred by physicians. A physician understands the anatomy of the musculature and connective tissue of the face and knows what tissues to treat in order to see a lift in the desired direction. In addition the physician has a healthy respect for the high risk areas to avoid so that there is less chance of nerve injury.
Patients aged faces are like snow flakes...there are no two alike and physicians can modify treatments tailoring them to the specific patient in front of them. One patient may need more treatment for the jowl and others may need more for the upper eyelids. I like to do the treatment myself on faces because I want the control of altering the treatment for my patients best result.

Answer: Ultherapy - A Client's Perspective A client of Dr. Shehla Ebrahim explains that Ultherapy feels like a deep pulse of heat. It subsides just as quickly as it began. There is residual heat remaining in the skin. Recovery – there can be tenderness, slight swelling and possibly bruising.
