Is Ultherapy for Neck and Jowls an Option at Age 67?

Ultherapy, a noninvasive, no downtime procedure for skin lifting, works by using highly focused bursts of ultrasound to stimulate collagen regeneration under the skin. This in turn causes a lifting effect, but the results depend on the body's ability to respond by making new collagen. With age we are less able to do this so, like Thermage, Ulthera isn't really an alternative to a facelift. We have treated patients in their 60's with some results but not as much as younger patients.

Physiologic age is more important than chronologic age. You may be 67 but have better skin than what is expected for a 67 year old. Despite the laxity, if your skin has potential to increase collagen production and you have no problems with healing in other places, then Ultherapy should be highly beneficial in treating laxity of the skin associated with aging, sun damage ...We have performed Ultherapy since 2011. I have done the procedure in hundreds of patients and with high satisfaction rates at 6 months. Some of my patients are coming back 3 years later for 'touch up' or 'maintenance' procedures at their request. Read our Ultherapy book provided on the link below.
