Ultherapy & Thermage
The two flagship lifting energies — Ultherapy's deep ultrasound and Thermage's dermal radiofrequency, prescribed to your skin
Overview
Ultherapy and Thermage are the two gold-standard non-surgical lifting energies, and they work at different depths: Ultherapy's focused ultrasound reaches the SMAS layer to lift, while Thermage's radiofrequency remodels the dermis to tighten and smooth.
DU prescribes rather than sells: a laxity-led face suits Ultherapy, texture-led aging suits Thermage, and many benefit from both in sequence. Sessions run 30–60 minutes with numbing cream, no downtime, and results building over 2–3 months as new collagen forms — lasting six months to a year.

Ultherapy & Thermage — FAQ
Ultherapy or Thermage — which one for me?
Depth decides: descended tissue calls for Ultherapy's SMAS focus; crepey, lax skin quality calls for Thermage's dermal remodeling. Assessment tells you plainly.
How long until I see results?
A mild immediate tightening, then the real change over 2–3 months as collagen rebuilds — lasting roughly 6–12 months.
Does it hurt?
Both deliver heat pulses managed with numbing cream and modern comfort protocols; sensation is intense warmth rather than pain.
Can they be combined with surgery or threads?
Yes — energy devices maintain and extend surgical results, sequenced properly in your overall plan.
