How does Ultherapy® differ from laser treatments?

Ultherapy uses the energy of sound (ultrasound) which has unique properties that allow it to bypass the surface of the skin to treat depths not matched by any other non-invasive cosmetic device. Ultherapy ultrasound stimulates collagen production (neocollagenesis) in the skin’s foundation, resulting in a clinically significant lift of tissue over several months.

Lasers use the energy of light to treat a range of conditions (brown spots, visible blood vessels, etc) more superficial on the skin.  Since Ultherapy and lasers often treat different skin issues, they may be complementary treatments. Radiofrequency (RF) uses radio waves to treat the tissue and lacks direct visualization of tissue depth.
