Types of energy The main difference between Thermage and Ultherapy is the type of energy each uses to restore collagen production. Radiofrequency is used for Thermage, while Ultherapy uses ultrasound. This energy difference is important because ultrasound can generally reach deeper into the dermal layer.16 Mar 2021
What frequency does Ultherapy use?
MFU uses 0.4–1.2 J/mm2 of energy, a frequency of 4–10 MHz, and a focal depth of only 1.5–4.5 mm.5 Feb 2015
What technology does Ultherapy use?
Ultherapy® uses microfocused ultrasound to generate a thermal effect under the skin. This effect essentially jump-starts your body's own process to create fresh, new collagen. Ultherapy® uses microfocused ultrasound to generate a thermal effect under the skin.
What kind of laser is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology to strengthen the skin from the inside out. It works by using ultrasound energy to gently heat the tissue under the treatment area.28 Feb 2019
Is Ultherapy better than radio frequency?
Ultherapy microfocused ultrasound with visualization precisely targets tissues at pre-determined, subdermal depths up to 4.5 mm—more than 100% deeper than lasers and 50% deeper than RF—without affecting intervening tissues or the skin's surface.
Is there something better than Ultherapy?
A Thermage treatment only penetrates into shallower areas of skin tissues, from the dermis, just below the surface of the skin, to the layer of subcutaneous fat tissues. However, it covers a wider area of the body and delivers a greater volume of energy in one session when compared to Ultherapy.7 Jan 2022
Is RF the same as Ultherapy?
While both RF Microneedling and Ultherapy are generally easily tolerated, RF Microneedling is typically less painful than Ultherapy. Although downtime is typically minimal, it's possible to experience tenderness or redness for up to a few days following Microneedling.
What is the best skin tightening procedure?
Laser resurfacing This is the most effective procedure for tightening loose skin. Unlike the laser treatment described above, this procedure requires some downtime. You'll need to stay home for 5 to 7 days. Laser resurfacing also gives you the fastest results.
Does Ultherapy use radio frequency?
The main difference between Thermage and Ultherapy is the type of energy each uses to restore collagen production. Radiofrequency is used for Thermage, while Ultherapy uses ultrasound. This energy difference is important because ultrasound can generally reach deeper into the dermal layer.16 Mar 2021
Can you use 1 MHz ultrasound on face?
One MFU-V device has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to noninvasively lift and tighten lax face and neck skin. Common adverse events associated with MFU-V include momentary discomfort during the treatment session, transient erythema and edema, and occasional bruising.5 Dec 2014
Is RF better than Ultherapy?
Ultherapy only addresses sagging skin, not wrinkles or skin texture. Infini RF effectively treats surgical, traumatic scars and acne scars. Ultherapy is not used for scar treatment. Infini RFcosts more but gives you more for your money, with a high degree of patient satisfaction with results.31 Jul 2016
What should I avoid after Ultherapy?
Avoid the routine use of anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, naproxen and Celebrex for one month. The inflammatory response in your tissue from Ultherapy works in a positive way to stimulate collagen fiber formation and remodeling.
Is it OK to have RF after HIFU?
Can the treatments be combined? Although each individual treatment will produce effective skin tightening results on its own, they can be combined to target the different layers of skin at different depths. For example, you could choose to do HIFU first, then a RF treatment at a later date.28 May 2021
