Can ultherapy lift brows straight up or only up towards the sides?

K
Kate2014Mar 17, 2014

I am 39 and botox doesn't work on me for some reason so I thought ultherapy could help give me a brow lift but when I went to a consult she told me ultherapy wouldn't be able to lift the brows straight upwards but could only lift the outward corners of brows upwards toward the sides. Does anyone know if this is correct? Thank you

In theory the prednisone can interfere with collagen remodeling, but the effect of the Ultherapy is a months-long process so the effect if any of prednisone is likely to be small. However, it has not been studied specifically so there is no real way to know, and the results are variable...

The ultherapy unit treats above the eyebrow to help lift that skin and in turn, help lift the upper eyelid skin. The forehead skin is thicker than the infraorbital skin (below the eyelid) and there may not be much room for the transducer (piece that rests against one's skin). After the...
