Ultherapy or Thermage FLX: what should you look at?
The two devices use different energy. Ultherapy uses ultrasound, and Thermage uses radiofrequency. Before comparing names or shot counts, note the area that concerns you, the change you want and any treatments you have had, and bring that to your consultation.
First, the principles differ
Compare on the same terms
- Area and goal
- Point out the area that concerns you most and describe the change you want.
- Previous treatments
- Tell us when you had which treatment, and on which area.
- Scope and method
- Check the device model, the area treated, and the scope and plan.
- Discomfort, recovery and scheduling
- Share the dates that matter to you and when you can visit, then receive guidance based on the plan.
This comparison alone does not decide a treatment
An explanation of device principles does not replace deciding what suits an individual. Your actual skin condition, previous treatments and preferred dates are reviewed in consultation.
Three things to note before your consultation
- The area and the change that concern you most right now
- The name, area and timing of treatments you have had
- The dates you can visit and the plans that matter
Sources for the device principles
