What's the difference between Forma and Ulthera?

March 12, 2017
Asked By:Abracadabra1982 in Toronto, KS

I'm 35 and I have mild loss of elasticity from weight gain/weight loss. I have had fat transfer and fillers but I still see the skin needs to be tightened. I also have the beginning mild loss of elasticity where my neck meets my chin. Is Forma a good option for me? Or is Ulthera better? What's the difference between the two?
