Ultherapy is designed to lift, tone and tighten loose skin on the brow, neck and under the chin and not intended to plump the area for volume. Some options to research would be Sculptra, Voluma, Perlane, Radiesse or Surgical Fat Grafting.
Ultherapy can tighten the skin and provide a natural lift, but will not necessarily plump the cheeks.
Ultherapy, which uses microfocused ultrasound energy for noninvasive skin lifting, does not add volume so it would not be expected to plump the cheeks. It can be combined with fillers such as Juvederm if that is what you want.
Ultherapy specifically targets sagging and loose skin mainly in the neck and jowl area.

Ultherapy is a lifting device, not a plumping device. However lifting in the upper face can give the appearance of fuller cheeks by changing facial shape in a subtle way. Consult with your doctor about adding a long lasting filler to your Ultherapy treatment. We call this our "2-D Lift."

Ultherapy is a non-invasive treatment for lifting the face and neck. You may want to consult with your neurologist to see if this is a good idea for you. Good Luck!
It depends. If the upper arms are a little loose, with loose skin and not fat, then Ultherapy is worth a shot for skin tightening. But, if there is looseness and some fat, you need to tighten and lose the fat. Ultherapy won’t do that. Here you have some choices, you could choose laser lipo or a...
Neuropraxia following Ultherapy is rare and anatomically most likely near the jaw or jaw line treatment lines especially in thin people. Excessive pain in the jaw during the treatment indicates that this may be occuring and settings should be reduced to prevent this problem. Steroids can be...
Results from Ultherapy take about 3 months to fully develop, and it is unlikely that your home use devices will have an adverse effect. Interesting to hear that your Palovia was more painful! I just had Ultherapy last week using the new settings and there was almost no discomfort.
