Ultherapy vs. Thermage
Ultherapy is the only non-invasive treatment cleared by the FDA for lifting the skin on the neck, chin, and brow, and improving lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. Ultherapy uses micro-focused ultrasound to lift and tighten loose skin over time, without any downtime. Ultherapy uses precise ultrasound energy to target the deep structural layers of the skin's surface. After treatment, the body's tissue repair process stimulates the production of new collagen, creating a natural lifting effect. The safety and efficacy of Ultherapy have been established through clinical studies with over 1 million treatments performed worldwide. Additionally, Ultherapy's mechanism of action uses micro-focused ultrasound with real time visualization. Because Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology, the procedure is safe on all skin types & colors. With age, skin loses its elasticity and the signs of aging become more visible. Beneath the skin's surface, structural proteins such as collagen and elastin fibers stiffen overtime which leads to a decrease in elasticity and the forming of lines and wrinkles. Ultherapy is a non-surgical way to tighten the skin using ultrasound technology. With 4 different FDA indications and over 50 clinical trials. Using micro-focused technology and DEEP - SEE Ultrasound visualization, Ultherapy delivers energy to where it will be most beneficial, leading to a lift in the neck, chin, brow and improving the wrinkles in the decollette. Ultherapy reaches the same deep tissue layer that a surgical facelift reaches, but without surgery or downtime. During an Ultherapy treatment, ultrasound waves are micro-focused at precise depths in the dermal and subcutaneous tissue, sparing the skin's surface and intervening tissue, between 60-70 degrees Celsius. Forming thermal coalition points at depths of 1.5, 3 or 4.5 millimeters. Delivery of ultrasound energy in this manner causes contraction and denaturalization of collagen and initiates the body's healing response resulting in collagen synthesis and tissue repair. This new collagen growth results in natural looking results that accumulate gradually over the of 2-3 months with visible improvement up to a year after treatment. Ultherapy is the first and only FDA cleared procedure to non-invasively lift the eyebrow, neck, chine and FDA cleared to improve the lines and wrinkles on the chest.With age, skin loses its elasticity and the signs of aging become more visible.
