Which is right for sagging wrinkles, Ulthera or Thermage?
Hello
Now that my children are all grown up, I finally looked in the mirror to take care of my face, but seeing the signs of time—my cheeks have sagged and my nasolabial folds have deepened—made me feel really bad...
When I go to gatherings with friends my age, I see many who look much younger after getting lifting procedures at a dermatology clinic, so I am seriously considering getting the procedure myself. I heard that Ulthera and Thermage are the most famous, but I don't know exactly what the difference between the two is, so it is really hard to choose.
For someone like me with overall reduced skin elasticity and sagging contours, would Ulthera be the right choice to lift the skin, or would it be better to use Thermage to firmly tighten the outer layer? Also, since my skin is on the thinner side, I am worried about potential side effects like sunken cheeks. I would appreciate honest advice from those with experience on which procedure is safer and more effective for a woman of a certain age.
