Question 1

what is best for the face and neck area ulthera exilis thermage?

Accepted Answer

They're different: Thermage uses radio frequency and ultherapy uses ultrasound. Ultherapy is the only fda approved device that actually lifts. So, overall it will depend on what you need.

Question 2

is ulthera or exilis better for under eyes wrinkles?

Accepted Answer

They are both good : For undereye wrinkles. Google online for comparative results. Talk to dermatologists and patients who underwent the procedure for more input. Best of luck! (don't get old!).

Question 3

what is best for under eyes wrinkles, exilis or ulthera?

Accepted Answer

Fraxel: Fraxel laser will give give very good results.  I would recommend a 100 micron depth. Best wishes.

Question 4

is it safe to have a ultherapy (midface) 12 months after some sessions of exilis elite (midface - didnt see any results). thank you?

Accepted Answer

No safety issues: Exilis elite uses monopolar radio frequency (RF) energy and ultrasound to stimulate fat lipolysis (the breakdown of fat cells) and collagen production. Ultherapy uses just ultrasound to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Since you did not see any results with RF plus ultrasound, it would be highly unlikely that the ultrasound only method would work much better. No safety issues.

Question 5

what are the ulthera side effects?

Accepted Answer

Ulthera side effects: The answer is that there are very few side effects, if any. The biggest concern is the degree of improvement. It is possible to create some scarring with too intense of a setting but that is highly unlikely. Personally, I am underimpressed with the results but for some patients it might be worthwhile.

Question 6

how long does ulthera last if you're in your sixties?

Accepted Answer

Ultherapy Duration: Your response to an ultherapy treatment depends on the quality of your skin. Those with better quality skin, and who maintain their skin will have a better response that will last longer. There is no set time frame dependent on age, although the company will tell you that it can last from 1-5 years.

Question 7

how effective is  ulthera for brow lifts?

Accepted Answer

Ulthera: I am not familiar with ulthera, so i referred your question to a plastic surgeon.  Hope that will prove helpful.

Question 8

i had a total face laser lift 12 years ago. face is saging at jowls and face in general. will i be canidate for the ulthera?

Accepted Answer

Ultherapy and Laser : Yes. Ultherapy can follow  carbon dioxide laser, as soon as six months or more after co2 laser before ultherapy. Of course, co2 can be done soon after ultherapy, possibly even the same day, especially if it is fractional co2, but this doesn't apply to you.  However, as ultheapy has developed a more superficial transducer, this will treat the same plane of dermis as the co2 laser.

Question 9

ggenerally, how long can one expect ultherapy to last before needing a retreatment? there will be an additional charge to the initial visit fee?

Accepted Answer

Depends on provider!: Each practitioner and clinic/medispa that provide ultherapy has their own price policy and each patient will have unique results. Changes in tissue are lasting, but this too is variable with each patient. Ask your provider!

Question 10

what are the major downsides of ultherapy?

Accepted Answer

Like any: Like any cosmetic surgery it may not correct or improve what you want to look better. It does have the advantage of being non invasive.
