Ultherapy - Ulthera is a non-surgical skin tightening & lifting procedure that uses high-intensity ultrasound. This energy heats the deeper layers of the skin producing contraction & production of collagen. This results in skin tightening & lifting of the lower face, jowls, neck & upper lids. This is a no downtime treatment that takes 40 to 60 minutes to perform. The majority of patients require only one session.
.
Where can HIFU be used?
Therapy treatments can tighten loose skin on the face, neck, sagging skin under the chin and soften lines and wrinkles on the chest.
.
Therapy treatments can produce a non-surgical brow lift in patients with mild to moderate skin laxity. Therapy is also a great treatment for adults that are just beginning to see the signs of aging including face, forehead, and neck skin laxity.
.
Is HIFU painful?
With correct pain relief this procedure is well tolerated. Patients feel warmth on their skin though out the treatment.
.
How long is the HIFU procedure?
HIFU takes between 30 minutes to 60 minutes depending on the areas treated. Some patients may only need a small area treated, whilst others will benefit from an Ultherapy neck and face-lift in the same session.

51 year old man here. I just had a full face and neck done. I love the results…and it cost me 300 dollars…in Poland. It’s greed that makes it so expensive.
Exactly
Where about in poland did you have it done??? Thats really cheap, in my town (south of poland) it costs about 450-500 dollars😅
In the US it's liability insurance that docs need to carry. Insurance carriers totally gouge us.
@@jimboland1730yet you can still afford mansions and porches. We are not stupid.
How is your face skin now?
U r such a great teacher!! Ur expertise shines through! This kind of videos made me one of ur followers! THANK U Dr.!!!!!💙💙
Thanks so much Dr Lim,really appreciate your honesty with what will work and what won't.. 😊
I actually work for a company that manufactures a HIFU device that treats prostate cancer. So instead of having the prostate removed which has a lot of bad side effects, HIFU melts the tumor. No surgery, no recovery time.
😮
What a load of rubbish!
@@michellecrowley3749 MD Anderson, Cleveland Clinic, Mt Sinai and many other major cancer centers in the US and Europe use this technology. I guess they don’t think it’s “rubbish”. Do your research.
Very informative, thank you Dr. Lim❤
this was SO helpful thank you so much
I'm an esthetician working at a med spa and needed to learn as much as possible about HIFU, and this was very educational for me
Thank you Dr. Lim, very informative about HIFU and for your suggestions.
That was the best explanation I've heard yet on HIFU. And best breakdown of skin type requirements.
Thank you!
Wish I'd known this years ago before having ULtherapy (it's not for people with bleeding disorders and auto-inflammatory disorders)
Did you experience fat loss on your face and neck?
How long did the effects last?
Thanks a lot
I had no idea that sun damage could play a role in the success or failure of getting rid of a double chin🤔🤔
Ever so helpful.
Thank you!
Thank you dr lim..i learn a lot from you..
very informative, thank you!
Thank u SO much Dr. Lim!! Love ur educational videos. I' ve always been suspicious abt HIFU and loss of fat, thank very much! Now I know the truth and where is safe to use😊💙
Loved the video Dr. LIM.
Very interesting , and very well presented by you with lots of facts as usual. Best wishes from Newcastle.
Awesome as usual❤ thank you
Wow the handsome doctor returned! You’re glowing and looking so much healthier then in your previous video….
Dr. You are a blessing to humanity
Thanks thanks a lot! Really appreciate doctors informing rather than trying to make money.
Any thoughts on hifu for crows feet / tear trough ?
Thank you!
Hi Doctor, which one is better Ultherapy or HIFU?, people said ultherapy is better because it penetrate into deeper level of skin. Thank you.
Hi thank you for your video. Could you tell me the best home device to use at home please
Hi Dr Lim, very interested and you're very knowledgeable. Can you talk about J Plasma Renuvion, I hear it's the holy grail for tighthening the skin without surgery.
Can it be used for thick ankles and knees as well ?
Nice video - just heads up - your cross section of skin with thickness quotes are incorrect - facial dermis @ 1mm to 1.2mm - hence subcut fat is more superficial than depicted and might be important consideration in the selection of treatment heads - cheers
Dr Lim, what are your views about Lanluma?
The UA-cam lovely lady "Claudia Glows" had no luck at all with Spectra, however, the Lanluma worked magic on her.
Hi, Does this method work onfrown lines? Thksss
Good stuff.
Hi dear Davin.what is the interval between HIFU sessions?🙏
Is this technique is capable to treat cellulite in hip and butt ?
Im very interested in trying HIFU around my mouth cause Im starting to see lines there and on my jawline. So only around my "lower parts" of the face.
But I have rheumatoid arthritis and some say that if you have an autoimmune illness then you shouldnt do HIFU. Is that true and if so - why?
Thanks ❤
Thank you Dr Lim, as always your content is very informative . Cheeeeers!!
Hey Davin, what do you think about stem cell procedures? Not the light weight ones like 2M umbilical cord cells but rather bone marrow aspiration, liposuction for good concentrations of cells injected and micro-needled in following RF micro-needling?
Is it true that the collagen tightening produced from HIFU and RF is 'disorganised collagen' - effectively scar tissue? It was claimed by a surgeon that the denatured collagen doesn't form regular, orderly collagen and instead meshes together in this disorganised manner. It was also claimed that this scar tissue then makes it difficult for any future surgeries. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
I have the same concern
I saw that video too
Is it true that those who undergo this treatment will not be able to undergo facelift surgery, because the tissues of the skin have been damaged?
Thank u for this video! İf someone had oncology problem many years ago, is it ok for HİFU prosedure?
I even bought the machine and notice a resurfacing rejuvenation for about 3 months and back again to the same, the body cartridge were very painful and did not work
Hello I live at West End you mentioned a Phenol peel do you do them?
Dr, can you include AviClear laser in your next vid? Heard that it’s FDA approved and rivals the effectiveness of accutane on acne
Is that the same as ultra former 3 ?
Can you please do a video on pelleve
I ordered a mini-HIFU device to be used at home, I will use it first on my legs/arms to see the effect it has, since the results seem to be so variable and there is all this talk about fat loss...
did you try it
How did you find it
Great video Dr. Lim! Do you ever do phenol peels? Have you ever had one? They look pretty gruesome and can be cardiotoxic...but results seem smoother than ablative laser. What do you think?
Do you know TCA peel mixed with 10 %phenol? I had this peel last february and I'm very happy with the results. This peel is so much better than Tca only
Can this melt face fat? I feel MORE WRINKLED using my ultra sound.
Can you do treatment for EDS on older people.
Nice ink Doc.
hiFu is very effective to me i do this 2x a year
Anyone I know who has done it says it did nothing for them except $$$ from there pocket book
It worked beautifully for me. After my 1st HIFU I scheduled a 2nd treatment 2 months later & my 3rd, five months later. I’m super pleased with the results. It is however, definitely not a one time procedure. And results are not immediate. If you’re by nature impatient, then this would probably not be for you.
Is it normal the doctor will say we don’t do hifu on inner thighs and back I don’t see changes in my arms and thighs only little on my face
Even no pain after the treatment zero pain at all
What does it do to the fascia?
hope someone can answer if you can have hifu done in just 1 area like the double chin area only.
It worked for me and continues to work at least 5 years later. I’ve read tho that if some too often it depletes your face of volume and makes u look older. I’m not sure about that though.
Yeah, this is also my concern. When I had ultherapy, my face was fat, so I didn’t mind losing fat, but as we get older, that fat on our face diminishes, and I’m aftaid I’d look older as years go by and with multiple treatments.
Ive had several consultations with registered professionals and they recommend 1-2 times a year at most.
Hello doc. Can u help me? I did a hifu 9D in my jawline. 3 days after the procedure, i felt tightening of my jaw then after i got difficulty in swallowing but it went away after 2 days. After, I felt tenderness and swollen in my lower cheeks and stiffness of my neck. Then the worst part now i got a jawlock. I never had a history of jaw problems ever before. I don’t grind my teeth either. My xray result says that i have a tmj. When i asked the er doctor, she told me the muscle strains is making my joint swollen. Can u tell me what went wrong on my procedure. All i know is that they set the intensity in 0.7 then when i got 3 hifu shots , it felt like i got punched. And i asked to reduce it at 0.2. No one is believing me since im the first patient who have experienced this.😞😞
Is Morpheus better then HIFU
More people need to talk about how providers and derms who sell ulthera treatments keep emphasizing wrongly that it's completely different from HIFU.
Even the drug company selling the device is now publishing articles paying off these derms to call it MFU and denies it's HIFU.
Do u need to do hifu yearly .what if u stop doing it will your face become worst
Please come to Africa Kenya we need things like that
Hi. I have a question. I hope you see this and answer❤
I am 21 years old and i have mini double chin and dont have good jaw line. I want to do hifu treatment but i am scared that what if that treatment melts way too much fat on my buccal area and make me look older than i am. Is it possible to melt too much fat and make my face look like i have done buccal fat removal.
I hope u see this
Thank you❤
Would HIFU to the face be contraindicated for thin people? I'm 52 with mild skin laxity but concerned about losing fat in my face. Thank you!
Yes, same! Im tempted, it was actually recommended to me but im slim and my face has no fat to lose!! So it stops me still from making the decision..😅
can HIFU treatment cause hair loss ?
I did two sessions ,I see a slight different
Can you use hifu or rf to help lift breasts?
My friend has been left with hard bumps on the skin
Dr.Lim, do I get to consult with you if I go to your clinic?
We want before after videos for acne scars
I think fractional CO2 laser machine is very nice.
I have done it once. Yes it hurts a lot.. my doctor said - more the pain, more effective it is.
Did you see any results
That is not a good doctor for HIFU, you can damage nerves, gums, and teeth that way.
Im just going to do face yoga, damn
you can do this
If only you were this nice and helpful in real life. Such a let down.
Why? 😮
@@jjaphet_08_48 personal experience
So it doesn't cause skin tightening & fat loss?
it can do this,if you want to talk about this,we can discuss this.
Hi, Dr. Davin! I had HIFU procedure 2 months ago and I experienced slight facial paralysis right after it. Initially I thought it's just the anesthesia not wearing down yet but I got worried when 30 hrs had passed already. The condition worsen as days go by and got better after a week but jaw pain started kicking in more often. Just now I experienced a terrible pain in my jaw while having my breakfast and I'm thinking this could be TMJ disorder. Is it possible for HIFU malpractice to lead to TMD? Hope you notice my comment. Thank you so much.❤
@@Youwork449Where should HIFU be used?
In some cases the procedure can cause something called cartoid artery dissection which is basically an artery that delivers blood to the brain. Headaches and facial paralysis are symptoms. I'd get an MRI for your head and neck to make sure there isn't any damage to any facial artery or even the cartoid and other ones. I got it done yesterday and had a terrible terrible headache and I am worried about the artery damage because when she did my neck my entire windpipe got a feeling like I was electrocuted till the base of my tongue. No one tells you this but HIFU can cause strokes because of the damage it can do to arteries.😢
@@rayaneserhan9264😲This is important information!!!
What’s a Transducer?
The hand device that touch your skin, it's called transducer or probe. It's where all the heat conversion happen once it touch your skin
What about the at home mini hifu? 😍
Don’t use them they also can cause fat loss
it's very nice
Can i use guasha after 2 weeks of hifu treatment?? please guide me 😢
I thought phenol peels were super dangerous...👀
I had Ultherapy and it was expensive and painful. I swear it makes me look older 😭
it's not right
No helpful x
I was with the doctor until I saw the tattoos. Really? A dermatologist with tattoos??😬🤦♀️☹️
Waste of money... didn't DO anything...
😢 yes… I regret it
@danielarojas5361 I bought a package of 4 from a local Esthetician.. After the second one, I had to stop.. All she did during that procedure was go back-and-forth on my forehead and then suddenly pictures I took that weekend, my eyebrows look like they were drooping down... 😓😣😖😢
@@DancingCheetah yeah unfortunately.. there are more and more unprofessional places offering this kind of procedures, it’s really hard to find the right method to prevent aging.
