56 y/o and trying to understand the difference between these two treatments. Are the results immediately visible with these energy treatments? When can they be repeated?
Answer: Ultherapy vs. FaceTite Hello, and thank you for a great question. In general, any skin tightening treatment that goes underneath the skin, such as FaceTite or ThermiTight will have better results than completely non-invasive treatments such as Ultherapy. FaceTite and ThermiTight usually require only a single treatment session and results can last up to 3-4 years. Ultherapy is usually repeated on a yearly basis. Any collagen stimulating treatment can take up to 6 months to see full results. Though the technology is important, more important is the skill and expertise of the person performing these treatments. Make sure you are under the care of an experienced physician provider to ensure optimal results and minimize risk of complications. Hope this helps answer your question.

Answer: Mini Facelift & Mini neck lift -- FaceTite RF for internal skin tightening + Neck Liposuction for definition/contouring FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime. Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: FaceTite or Ultherapy Hello and thanks for yoru questions. In my opinion (and based on literature) FaceTite is a far superior treatment as it utilizes a probe under the surface of the skin in order to tighten much deeper and completely than Ultherapy which only has a surface transducer. With these treatments you will see an immediate result and then gain more definition/tightening over the next 3-6 months as new collagen forms.Best wishes!Daniel Brown, MD, FACSBoard Certified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic SurgeonsMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeonsCastle Connolly Top DocReal Self Top 500

Answer: FaceTite is more effective, but requires recovery time The advantage of Ultherapy is that you will get some tightening with little or no recovery time. Usually, there is usually no need for anesthesia, local or general, although there is some pain. Anesthesia can be optional if your MD has an approved facility.

Answer: FacetTite is a much more effective treatment but is more invasive The skin tightening you can get with a single FaceTite procedure is much more effective than Ultherapy. However Facetite requires making puncture in the skin to insert the a probe and local anesthesia. Ultherapy is non invasive and often is performed 2 or more times to get the desired effect. With both treatment the full results are not visible for weeks to 6 months.
