Don't waste your $: Typically, a 76 year-old man will have too much excess skin for these (questionably effective) treatments. They rely on skin contraction to occur as a response to injury, and the capacity of neck skin to do so in a 76 year old is limited. I would suggest seeing a surgeon certified by the american board of plastic surgery to evaluate your individual options.

Jowls: Probably not very effective. Although it depends on you're expectations and your financial position. The therapy might do a little good. If you are rich and can afford to throw the money away it could be worthwhile to try. There are few side effects from it and it might help. There is a very small percentage of people where these non invasive therapies work really well.

Mild to moderate: As we get older, the body's ability to produce new collagen diminishes. Ultherapy is designed to stimulate new collagen production, and your results will very based on the technique and energy levels used as well as your ability to make new collagen. This treatment is best performed on patient's in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. You may see satisfactory results, but it may take several months longer to.

Ultherapy: It will not be effective at all for your age. It is not advised for over 60. It would be a waste of your money. You would likely do much better with a neck lift which is what most men need. Consult a facial plastic surgeon.

Ultherapy/small/resu: This non invasive series of treatments are expensive and give minimal results. See if any guarantees are offered if not happy.
