One of the biggest benefits of Ultherapy is that it is capable of targeting the deep, foundational skin layer (called the SMAS) that is usually only accessible via cosmetic surgery. As a result, the procedure can produce extremely satisfying results for patients who feel that other procedures are too subtle.
However, Ultherapy does not lead to the same drastic results associated with a surgical facelift, so it is not a complete replacement. Many patients decide to choose Ultherapy over a surgical facelift because it requires no downtime and is far less invasive – and they discover they are very happy with the results. Others undergo Ultherapy until they’re ready to move forward with surgery, or to extend the results of past surgical procedures.
