Thermage vs Ultratherapy

Non-invasive treatments for ageing skin can be completed in less than 90 minutes with little to no recovery time.

Because of this, techniques like Thermage and Ultherapy are becoming more popular with people who wish to reduce wrinkles, tighten their skin, and seem younger.

While there are important similarities between the two approaches that should be considered when choosing which is best for you, there are also important distinctions.

What to anticipate from Thermage and Ultherapy’s procedures and outcomes, as well as their primary differences, are described.

Areas you can treat with Thermage

Thermage is a non-invasive therapy that uses radiofrequency (RF) to encourage the generation of new collagen, which helps to tighten and smooth skin. Heat is brought about by RF waves and spreads from the surface of the skin to the inner layers.

Thermage is used for: Face Tightening
Body: Upper body: thighs, tummy, arms etc.

Thermage has the potential to treat greater areas, which is one of its benefits. Depending on the treatment region, a single treatment lasts between 30 and 90 minutes with little to no downtime.

Ultherapy

Ultherapy uses ultrasound imaging to penetrate the skin’s surface and promote the growth of collagen where it is most needed. The best-known application of ultrasound is to target thinner, deeper skin layers. Ultherapy claims to treat the skin from the inside out in this manner.

The only non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment for elevating and tightening the skin around the fae and body.

Ultherapy established protocols that permit it to be applied on the face. It is authorised for usage only on the lower face.

Difference between Ultherapy and Thermage?

While there are many similarities between Ultherapy and Thermage, there are also some significant differences that should be considered before choosing the best course of action for you.

Types of Energy

The type of energy each procedure utilises to stimulate collagen formation is the primary distinction between Ultherapy and Thermage. Thermage uses radiofrequency, while Ultherapy makes use of ultrasound.

Due to the fact that ultrasound can typically penetrate further into the dermis layer, the energy differential is significant.

Timing of results

Both procedures take about the same time to perform. But in general, you can expect to see full results from Thermage 2-6 months after 1 treatment.

Ultratherapy can take more sessions and longer period of time to see vsisble results.

FDA approval

Both Ultherapy and Thermage are FDA-approved nonsurgical procedures that addresses the signs of ageing.
