Does Ulthera Reduce Eye Bags?

Question

Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

Although some patients may notice some decreased in puffiness from the newer smaller infraorbital transducer of Ultherapy, results are not consistent. It is not the indication for which Ulthera had received FDA clearance. Some people have puffiness from fluid retention and others have fat herniation.  Neither of these is expected to improve from the heat generation of Ultherapy.  Fat herniation is best treated by surgery (blepharoplasty). Fluid retention is not easily treated unless it is a treatable cause such as allergy or sinusitis.

Ulthera is a skin tightening technique that may be used to elevate the eywbrows and thus improve the appearance of the upper eyelids and may be used in the central and lower face.  It is not currently intended for use on the eyelids themselves.  This application will likely be available in the future but, even then, will probably be best for tightening skin as opposed to reducing puffiness.

In order to tighten and firm your skin to make them less noticeable, I would suggest microneedling RF. . Ultherapy is more commonly used around the jawline. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures for a complete assessment.

Ultherapy does not eliminate under eye bags but it may tighten the skin laxity in under eye tissue.A more preferred technique is lower lid blepharoplasty by a plastic surgeon. Ultherapy has advantages as it uses imaging to deliver targeted high intensity 'focused' ultrasound.The results of skin tightening will be most apparent at 6 months.We have performed hundreds of Ultherapy procedures in our Williamsville, NY office.Read our Ultherapy book on the link below.
