It’s important to understand that there are several treatment options available in the market which may achieve similar results from the ones listed here like nose fillers and thread lifts. This article is also not meant to suggest that the treatments we offer are the only sole or best options.
This post is dedicated to those who are still unsure about whether to choose ultherapy or thermage treatment. At Cienna Aesthetics, we often encounter the common question, “Which is better: Thermage or Ultherapy?”
There is no one-size-fits-all treatment that suits everyone. Therefore, we highly recommend all patients to undergo a doctor consultation before deciding on a specific treatment. This personalised approach ensures that each individual receives the most suitable and effective solution for their unique needs.
In this post, we will explore each treatment option to help you in making a decision.
Thermage is a non-invasive procedure that uses medical grade monopolar radio frequency to tighten loose skin on the face and body. It works by heating up all the layers of the skin, which in turns stimulates collagen production. This helps to improve elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and improve skin tone. Thermage can be useful for the following areas:
It also works well on body parts like:
Thermage uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate new collagen production in the dermis. This creates a thermal reaction that instantly tightens existing collagen fibers while encouraging new ones to develop over time.
Thermage delivers results with 1 treatment.
Results are usually seen within a few weeks and continue to improve up to 6 months after treatment.
Ultherapy is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses ultrasound energy to target deeper layers of the skin tissue in order to boost collagen production. This helps to firm up sagging skin while also reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Ultherapy can be useful for the following areas:
It can also be used on other parts of the body such as:
Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to target deeper layers of tissue in order to stimulate collagen production. Ultrasound waves pass through the outer layer of skin without causing damage, allowing them to reach deeper structures below the surface. This initiates a rebuilding process that gradually results in tighter, firmer skin.
Ultherapy delivers results in 2-3 months with optimal results between 6-12 months post-treatment.
The main benefit of both Thermage and Ultherapy is that they are non-invasive treatments with minimal downtime or risk for complications. Both treatments offer similar results in terms of tightening, lifting, and reducing wrinkles.
The main risk associated with both treatments is skin irritation, which can include redness, swelling, or itching. In some cases people may experience slight bruising or mild discomfort during the procedure, but this typically subsides shortly afterwards.
The main difference is that the effects of Thermage are usually seen more quickly than those with Ultherapy, although they may not be as dramatic or long-lasting. But here are some other differences.
Overall, both Thermage and Ultherapy are effective treatments for reducing wrinkles and tightening loose skin. However, it is best to consult with a doctor to determine which treatment is best for you.
Ultimately, the best option for you will depend on your individual needs and goals. For those looking to reduce fine lines or wrinkles with minimal downtime, Thermage may be a good choice. On the other hand, if you’re looking to address more severe sagging or laxity in certain areas then Ultherapy might be better suited to your needs. It’s important to discuss both options with a qualified practitioner before making a decision so that you can get the best possible results.
If you’re looking for an immediate difference in your appearance then Thermage may be the better option as it offers more dramatic results than Ultherapy. On the other hand, if you don’t want any downtime or discomfort then Ultherapy could be a better choice.
You can opt to do both Thermage and Ultherapy together as they both target different layers of the skin and different technology. By combining both, you can expect more synergistic effects.
Ultimately, it’s important to speak with a professional who can recommend the best course of action based on your individual needs.
Thermage and Ultherapy are two of the most popular non-invasive treatments for skin tightening, lifting, reducing eye bags or dark circles, and smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines. While they offer similar benefits with minimal downtime or risk for complications, they do differ in terms of how deeply they penetrate the skin. At the end of the day, which option is better for you will depend on your individual needs and goals. It’s important to discuss both options with a qualified aesthetic doctor before making a decision so that you can get the best possible results.
