What tightens skin better, Ultherapy or the Soprano Xli laser?

Question

Is there a difference in the pain during the procedure and the outcome of the procedure?

Michael A. Zadeh, MD, FACS · Answer

In my opinion there is no better non-surgical way to tighten the skin of the face and neck with a single treatment than Ultherapy. The use of ultrasound enables us to deliver heat energy precisely to the collagen containing layer of the skin while bypassing the more superficial layers. This results in a far less risk of burning, scarring and hyperpigmentation than with lasers. There is some discomfort with the procedure, but its less than with lasers. Everyone has a different tolerance for pain and some find it less uncomfortable than others. Hope this helps.

Hi Drewery,Ulthera is the only device that is approved for lifting and tightening the skin and tissues of the face and neck.  We have been treating patients for the past 3 three years with Ulthera with excellent results and very high levels of patient satisfaction.  Ultherapy is far superior to any laser treatment in non-invasive lifting rejuvenation.  Good luck and be well.Dr. P

There are virtually no head to head studies comparing different types of lasers, radiofrequency such as Thermage, and/or microfocused ultrasound such as Ultherapy. All of them use heat to stimulate collagen remodeling which in turn produces a firming or lifting effect. Ultherapy has the advantage of focusing with precision at several layers under the skin, and is done in one session. Earlier versions of it were more uncomfortable but newer treatments are quite tolerable and results more consistent.

Ultherapy is the only FDA approved technology for non surgical face and neck tightening - it has been time tested and durable and safe and very effective. Read the Ultherapy ebook (link below).
