Hello I’m thinking of having Ultherapy in my lower face and brow area. What worries me is that I’ve read it can melt far in the face. I have low fat percentage fat anyway,would this be a problem? Also can you reduce the settings on the machine for heat as I’ve heard after you reach 43 degrees this is where it melts fat.W What temperature does the machine go up to? Thanks.
