How Does it Work?

Ultherapy treatment delivers ultrasound waves just beneath the surface of the skin. By stimulating collagen production, Ultherapy can improve the skin’s overall health by tightening the skin and smoothing away fine lines and wrinkles.
The ultrasound waves transmute into heat and vibrations that break down undesirable and loose collagen structures. By removing these old cells, it allows new, denser, and healthier collagen to regrow. This is what gives Ultherapy the ability to produce a tightening effect without surgery.

What is the difference between Ultherapy, HIFU, and Thermage?

All three treatments are non-invasive with their main focus being skin tightening, by penetrating deep layers of the skin.
Thermage uses radiofrequency technology, while Ultherapy and HIFU use ultrasound waves. The following are the key differences between the three devices.
Ultherapy is used to treat the face and upper chest, whereas. Thermage targets the face and body, and HIFU is used only on the body.
Additionally, Thermage can treat cellulite, it can remove minor acne, and improves acne scars.
HIFU uses high intensity focused ultrasound that works in the same way as Thermage, however, some HIFU systems of low intensity require weekly maintenance treatments.
Similar to Thermage, HIFU treats areas of the body such as the thighs, the abdomen, and arms.
HIFU, Thermage, and Ultherapy are all safe and effective treatments, for patients looking to maintain their skin and delay signs of aging.
