Ultherapy & Thermage – The Ultimate Anti-Aging Combo

Needleless Serum Infusion Treatment

“Is Ultherapy or Thermage better for me, doctor?”

If you have asked this question before, congratulations! You have come a long way in exploring non-surgical anti-ageing treatment. This is one of the most asked questions in my practice, so I think it’s time to answer this question once and for all. If you are still unsure of which treatment you should go for, read on.

While there are many good reasons why these 2 treatments are often compared, they are actually based on completely different technologies.

The good news is that they are both FDA (US) approved devices for medical usage. Both treatments also have a reliable history and track record. The fact that these 2 technologies survive and continue to do better each year for the last 10 over years speaks volumes, with over 1 million treatments performed worldwide by each device. They are established treatments, and can cost thousands of dollars per treatment.

Key comparison between Ultherapy and Thermage

Both Ultherapy and Thermage aim to stimulate collagen production and delay overall skin ageing. But they do this in different ways.

Technology

Ultherapy uses microfocused ultrasound energy with real time visualisation.

Thermage uses monopolar radiofrequency.

Simply put, both generate sufficient and optimal energy for the skin to stimulate collagen production and ultimately produce skin tightening and lifting effects.

Depth of energy delivery

Ultherapy delivers ultrasound energy up to 4.5mm, which is the SMAS layer of the skin.

Thermage delivers RF energy up to 3.0mm, which is the dermis layer of the skin.

In other words, Ultherapy goes deeper and treats your skin from inside out. Thermage treats the more superficial layer of the skin.

Duration of treatment

Duration of treatment is similar – about 45 to 90 minutes depending on the area of treatment.

Pain level

Both Ultherapy and Thermage were extremely painful treatments when they were first launched more than a decade ago. Technology and technique have improved significantly since then, and treatments are way more comfortable today.

In my experience, Ultherapy is generally a more comfortable treatment due to its precision in energy delivery with real time visualisation. Having said that, the latest generation of Thermage FLX has in-built cooling and vibrating function that minimises discomfort with each shot.

Results

Results from Ultherapy and Thermage are often subtle and progressive. They are never dramatic. In fact, most people will not notice any visible changes. This is because these changes occur over a period of time, and are unnoticeable as we look at ourselves in the mirror every day.

However, people you who don’t see you often may notice these changes. If you are looking for dramatic changes, do not do Ultherapy or Thermage. Go for face lift surgery instead.

Theoretically, Thermage produces results earlier (from 6 weeks) compared to Ultherapy (from 2 months). In real life, this is not important because the purpose of doing both treatment is long term anti-ageing effect.

Longevity

Ultherapy and Thermage can be repeated once every 6 to 12 months depending on age and severity of skin ageing.

Ideal candidate for each treatment

Thermage and Ultherapy are suitable for men and women with mild to moderate skin ageing. Thermage targets more superficial skin layers therefore is ideal for improvement of mild wrinkles and loose skin. Ultherapy goes deeper therefore is ideal for improvement of mild sagging and folds.

Having said that, this is all theoretical. Every person responds to these treatments differently. It is also operator dependent – meaning the treatment must be done correctly, tailored to each individual’s unique face. There is no default blueprint that works for everyone.

Thermage and Ultherapy combo?

Another question that I often get asked is : Can I do both?

The answer is a resounding yes. All the comparisons mentioned above become irrelevant when we increasingly understand the skin ageing process. There is no single treatment that promises everything. However, if combined correctly, technology can help address different skin ageing concerns. Thermage and Ultherapy target different layers of the skin with different types of energy, and can address various skin ageing concerns.

How do I combine them?

There is no hard and fast rule. At the end of the day, the ultimate goal is to delay skin ageing.

They can be done 6 months apart. Some choose to alternate the treatment every year.

If you are feeling adventurous, you can even do the two on the same day.

What is the downtime like?

Ultherapy and Thermage produce minimal downtime. You may have mild redness, swelling and soreness for up to a week. Some people do not even feel anything the very next day. If you are concerned about downtime, it will be wise to do the 2 treatments on different days. Doing them on the same day may be very uncomfortable with longer downtime.

Will Ultherapy melt your fillers?

ultherapy singapore

An Overview of Common Ultherapy Myths in Singapore.

I wrote this article in response to some of the most frequently asked questions in my practice about Ultherapy treatment. There is a lot of confusion and misunderstanding about Ultherapy and I hope this article will help you answer some of your concerns.

Ultherapy treatment uses microfocused ultrasound energy to stimulate the body in renewing and replacing existing collagen under the skin. This non-invasive ultrasound treatment, if used correctly by trained doctors, can effectively lift and tighten loose and saggy skin areas such as the cheeks, jowls, jawline, brows and neck area. Here are some of the facts about Ultherapy treatment:

  • FDA approved skin tightening treatment
  • Totally non-invasive
  • Works for women and men
  • Minimal to zero downtime
  • 1 treatment produces results
  • Results last for 12-18 months
  • Good safety profile

Myth 1: Ultherapy will melt my fillers

There are no clinical studies that show that Ultherapy dissolves fillers. On the contrary, in my experience, fillers such as Ellanse and Radiesse work synergistically with Ultherapy to stimulate collagen production.

Ultrasound energy from Ultherapy works at an optimal temperature of approximately 60-70°C. To put things in perspective, the sterilization process of hyaluronic acid gel requires a temperature of approximately 120°C. Even at a high temperature of 120°C, filler gel remains solid and intact. So how would a temperature of 60-70°C melt your fillers?  

Furthermore, Ultherapy has a real-time visualisation screen that allows us doctors to see in detail the structure of the skin, fat and muscles, and the exact location of the fillers. An experienced or well trained doctor will be able to deliver the energy precisely into the correct layers of your skin and avoid touching the fillers in the process.

Myth 2: Ultherapy will melt my fat and make my face look sunken

There are no clinical studies that show that Ultherapy can melt away fat. Ultherapy, if done correctly by experienced doctors, should not have any impact on fat cells. 

However, in theory, if the person performing the treatment is not well trained or not meticulous with the treatment, the continuous ultrasound heat energy delivery into the same spot repeatedly can generate high enough temperature to destroy fat cells. 

Therefore, it is important to get Ultherapy done by a doctor who has been trained to perform Ultherapy correctly and safely.

Myth 3: Ultherapy treatment is very painful

When Ultherapy was first introduced in 2007, it was indeed a painful treatment, hence the stigmatisation. 

However, since then, technology has progressed significantly and  many improvements have been made. The newer batch of Ultherapy machines are able to deliver much more comfortable and precise ultrasound energy that produces wonderful results.

In my practice, with adequate pain management protocol, all my patients are able to undergo Ultherapy treatment comfortably.

Myth 4: Ultherapy treatments are the same everywhere because everyone uses the same treatment protocol

Being a trained Ultherapy expert, I get very disappointed when I hear this statement from patients. The fact of the matter is, ultherapy equipment is uniquely designed for women and men with different facial anatomies. In my practice, every single patient is treated with customized protocols based on their gender, age, ethnicity, facial anatomy, skin type and concerned areas. It is not just about the number of shots and the energy level. Customizing the treatment protocol is a complicated process that takes into account many factors after a thorough facial assessment is done. 

I do not deny that a lot of people out there treat every patient with the same protocol. The reason they do so is because they do not have a clear understanding of human anatomy and are not properly trained to handle the equipment. Sometimes, it is just because it is less time consuming. If you choose to receive Ultherapy treatment in a medical spa or by poorly trained professionals just because the price is lower, then you will get what you paid for.

Myth 5: The more shots I receive, the better results I get.

Recently, there is a trend going around where patients specifically ask about the number of Ultherapy shots given, and choose to go for places that offer the most number of shots. Ironically, some of these places that offer the most number of shots also offer ridiculously low prices. 

As mentioned in the previous paragraph, an effective and safe Ultherapy treatment is not just about the number of shots. The more important thing to look out for is whether or not the place uses authentic Ultherapy equipment, and if the person performing Ultherapy treatment is a well trained doctor. In my practice, every patient is treated with customized protocols taking into account multiple factors after a thorough assessment. 

Myth 6: Ultherapy result only lasts for 6 months

Ultherapy stimulates production and regeneration of collagen, which takes about 3 months to mature and get strong enough to provide visible support to the skin structure. After that, results can last for 12 – 18 months. Ultherapy treatment produces long lasting results after one single treatment.

Myth 7: Ultherapy can only be done on the face

Besides face and neck, Ultherapy treatment can be used on various parts of the body to tighten the skin. Some of the areas that can be treated by Ultherapy are: Chest, butt, arm, under butt, above knee, abdomen, double chin.

What do I think of Ultherapy treatment as a doctor?

  • One of my favourite treatments so far.
  • I personally perform this treatment for my patients.
  • I highly recommend Ultherapy for my female and male patients.
  • I customize the treatment for each patient. 
  • I start Ultherapy treatment for patients around early to mid 30’s. 
  • I use it in combination with other treatments such as fillers and pico laser.

I hope this article clears some confusion and misunderstanding about Ultherapy. Lastly, I urge you to choose your Ultherapy provider wisely to get the treatment done safely with good and long lasting results.

How Ultherapy Works?

Dissimilar to radiofrequency or other technologies such as laser that deal with the surface of the skin; ultherapy focuses on the collagen layer beneath the skin. This collagen-rich skin layer is the one that supports the facial muscles, otherwise called the Subcutaneous Musculo-Aponeurotic System (SMAS).

Ultrasound vitality will be conveyed to the site targeted for treatment, to invigorate collagen creation and reinforce frail collagen. Ultherapy additionally utilizes ultrasound imaging in order to picture the layers of tissue amid treatment. This empowers ultrasound vitality to be coordinated definitely and securely to problem territories, boosting its advantages.

Ultherapy is best used for:

  • Lifting sagging cheeks and free skin under the jawline and neck
  • Lessening the presence of facial lines and fine lines
  • Lifting hanging eyebrows

What’s in store during Ultherapy

Every session normally takes around a hour and a half. The duration is also dependent upon the zone(s) treated. As you may encounter slight soreness amid the treatment, desensitizing cream is applied to your face in advance to decrease any uneasiness. While some may see obvious visible results following treatment, most will begin getting results following one to three months, when the newly formed collagen has produced results on your skin.

A great many people will require just one solitary treatment session. Still, while that may be the case, in certain individuals, a touch-up treatment session or a blend of various treatment technologies might be essential.
