Many people are becoming concerned with the effects of aging, including wrinkles, sagging skin, jowls and a general loss of elasticity in the skin. There has been a considerable amount of research and technology devoted to reducing the effects of aging on the skin and two of the most popular treatments are Thermage and Ultraformer MPT. But which one is better?
Although both of these treatments can offer a slimmer v-shaped face, improve the collagen structure of the skin, and tighten and reduce skin sagging to achieve more youthful-looking skin, they use completely different technologies to achieve their results.
We’ll do a head-to-head comparison of the two modern technologies to help you decide which is the better treatment for your skin type and lifestyle.
The name Thermage, as in “thermal,” offers a hint into how this treatment works. It uses heat produced by radiofrequency energy to penetrate the deepest layers of the skin. The heat reacts with the collagen cells in the skin and causes the cells to tighten. The heat also stimulates the skin cells to produce more collagen.
The procedure enables your skin to keep improving after treatment. As the body ages, collagen strands loosen and are unable to provide the support your skin cells require. This results in noticeable sagging and wrinkles. By stimulating the skin to produce more collagen and remodeling the existing strands, the skin cells receive the structural support they need, and the skin appears younger-looking, tighter, and more supple. The results last for several months.
Ultraformer MPT and Ultratherapy both use micro-focused ultrasound technology to achieve results. However, Ultraformer MPT uses more advanced focused ultrasound technology for more depth customization and versatility. This technology uses high-frequency ultrasound waves to penetrate deep into the skin. The ultrasound energy produces heat that triggers the collagen cells to tighten and stimulates the skin cells to produce more collagen.
Both types of devices obtain their anti-aging results from using heat. The difference between them is in the way the heat is generated. Thermage uses radiofrequency energy, and Ultraformer MPT uses ultrasound technology.
Different people have different types of skin that may be more sensitive to one type of application over another. So, the final verdict is simply a preference and an exploration of the application methods is needed to find the one that is most comfortable for your type of skin.
The Thermage device delivers a cooling effect to the surface layer of the skin that may help reduce any discomfort from the heat. However, the Utraformer MPT allows the clinician to adjust the level of depth the heat penetrates, which may suitable for those with more sensitive skin. Both achieve effective results. They help restore existing collagen and help stimulate new growth of collagen to tighten and make your skin more supple.
