Can Ultherapy melt facial fat if I have a low body fat percentage?

Question

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.

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.
