It’s time to reverse your age with non-invasive skin lifting treatments that are safe, effective, and produce natural results without any downtime! In Youth & Beauty Clinic, we provide Ultherapy and Ultraskin II treatments for patients who seek natural skin lifting without any surgery or injections. Both treatments utilize ultrasound energy that will be emitted within different depths of skin layers to achieve the desired outcomes according to the degree of aging that the patients display. “So what’s the difference? At what age is suitable to start the treatment? What about the cost? How long will the effect last? Do I need multiple sessions?” We receive similar questions from patients during consultation regarding both treatments. Therefore, we are going to break down the explanation in the table below!
| Treatment | ULTHERAPY | ULTRASKIN II |
| Mechanism | Microfocused Ultrasound with Visualisation (MFU-V)Delivery of precise heat energy via ultrasound waves into deeper skin layers, reaching down the facial muscle called SMAS to stimulate collagen and elastin production. | High Intense Focused Ultrasound Precision delivery of heat energy to epidermis up to SMAS layer, inducing collagen and elastin production. |
| Ultrasound Imaging | YESVisualisation (ultrasound imaging) feature – it offers direct visualization of the targeted area, ensuring that the energy being emitted is directed at the correct area. | NO |
| Depth | DEEPER PENETRATIONDermis Fat LayerSMAS Layer (muscle) | MORE SUPERFICIALEpidermisDermisSMAS Layer (muscle) |
| Treatment Areas | Face & Neck | Face, Neck & Body |
| Session Needed | 1~2* Sessions/year | 3+ Sessions/4-6 weeks |

Ultherapy is highly recommended for patients who display moderate to severe skin sagging which usually begin at the age of 35+. It has a maximum and more precise energy delivery at a deeper depth, reaching the SMAS layer to induce collagen production and muscle contraction as a result of direct visualization ultrasound imaging. On the other hand, UltraMaxx Lift is more suitable for patients who display mild to moderate sagging, at the age of 25+. This is because it has a more superficial penetration of energy delivery that is sufficient to stimulate collagen production in those younger age groups.
