Ultherapy Options

If you are thinking about an alternative choice for an Ultherapy due to either results or risk factors, here are the main options at hand. First, read the following to get to know the main types of surgical alternatives for an Ultherapy:

• Facelift

A face-lift (rhytidectomy) is a cosmetic surgical procedure to create a younger appearance in your face. The procedure can reduce the sagging or folds of skin on the cheeks and jawline and other changes in the shape of your face that occur with age. Results of facelift and usually more dramatic and more long-term than a non-invasive Ultherapy treatment. It is also possible to have a combination of facelift and Ultherapy. In this way, you will first undergo a facelift and then use Ultherapy for maintenance of results after a year or two.

• Body lift

As Ultherapy is not limited to the facial areas, a surgical body lift can be an alternative to improve supporting tissue in various body areas. A body lift improves the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports skin and fat. The target areas include chest, abdomen, Thighs, Buttocks, Flanks, and hips.

• Neck lift

A neck lift is a cosmetic procedure aiming to remove excess skin and fat around your jaw line and neck, creating a more youthful appearance in neck. Same as facelift, a combination of neck lift and Ultherapy is also possible for more dramatic results and their maintenance.

• Thread Lift

A Thread Lift is a minimally invasive treatment that uses temporary sutures to bring lifting effect in the skin. In this procedure, simply suspends it by stitching up portions of skin and does not take the risk of surgically removing it. This can first create a short-term effect by lifting the skin and then bring a long-term effect by triggering body’s collagen production. It is to be noted that while a Thread lift comes with a very short down time, the results are subtler than a facelift surgery.

On the other hand, you have a handful of non-surgical choices to use in place of an Ultherapy:

• Facial Fillers

Fillers are also another type of non-invasive treatment which can be considered as an alternative for facelift. However, dermal fillers work in rather a different way than ultrasound energy. These fillers boost the skin’s supply of hyaluronic acid, and therefore revitalize the skin and add volume to it. This can instantly improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and create a natural softer appearance. Depending on your technician’s view, it is also possible to have a combination of Ultherapy and Facial fillers for elevated results.

A combination of Ultherapy and Microneedling can even create more dramatic results without resorting into any surgery for higher quality results.

• Botox

Botox is a drug made from a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It’s the same toxin that causes a life-threatening type of food poisoning called botulism. Botox injections work by weakening or paralyzing certain muscles or by blocking certain nerves. The effects last about three to twelve months, depending on what you are treating. The most common side effects are pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site.

• Morpheus8

Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive needling treatment to treat wrinkles, lines, and sagging skin on face and body. Using radiofrequency, this treatment technique stimulates collagen production which further causes tightening effect and smoothens skin in the target area. In this way, it can be considered as a combined version of microneedling and Ultherapy.

• HIFU

HIFU, High-intensity focused ultrasound, is a relatively new cosmetic treatment technology to tighten and shape sagging skin. This treatment uses ultrasound energy to encourage collagen production, which results in firmer skin.

• Thermage
