Ulthera Treatment: Are There Different Machines and Companies?

Hi,

Since Ultherapy has been such a great success in the aesthetic world to nonsurgically lift the face and neck, there have been a lot of companies that are trying to claim the same result.  Ulthera, the manufacturers of Ultherapy is the only FDA approved company to nonsurgically lift the face and neck.  They utilize a revolutionary focused ultrasound technology that you can actually see on the monitor to target the deeper collagen.  Other competing companies use nonfocused ultrasound, radiofrequency, low level lasers to try to accomplish the same thing.  If you are considering Ultherapy, make sure you get your consult from an experienced provider from the Ulthera company website.

 

Warmly,

Dr. Liu

Ulthera is an FDA-approved device using precise ultrasound to tighten the skin. This is achieved by creating tiny wounds in the deeper layers below the skin's surface that lead to collagen stimulation while bypassing the surface of the skin. There are no other devices currently that use ultrasound for this purpose on the face.  There are other skin tighteners available but they use radiofreqency technology, not ultrasound.  Results can vary from person to person and can be dependent on a person's age, smoking and environmental exposure history, sun damage, genetic makeup, etc.  This could account for the differences noted amongst your friends' treatments.
