Ulthera vs. Thermage: Which Lifting Treatment Is Right for Me?

2026.06.228 views

Ulthera and Thermage are leading lifting and firming treatments, but they work differently. Ulthera uses ultrasound to deliver heat to the deep layers of the skin (SMAS), making it effective at lifting sagging skin, while Thermage uses radiofrequency to heat a broad area of the dermis, making it effective at improving firmness and skin texture.

Therefore, the choice depends not on “which is better,” but on whether your primary concern is sagging or firmness and skin texture. It is also common to combine the two treatments.

Since the optimal combination varies depending on skin thickness, the degree of sagging, and recovery conditions, we recommend a consultation to determine a personalized treatment plan.
