Thermage or Ultraformer? Choosing your lifting treatment
Both lift and tighten without surgery — but they work in different ways, at different depths, on different timelines. Here's how our clinicians decide which to recommend.
Radio-frequency and focused ultrasound are the two proven technologies for non-surgical lifting, and we offer the flagship device for each: Thermage FLX and Ultraformer MPT. The right one depends on your skin, your goals and your patience for results that build over time.
How they differ
Thermage heats the skin's deeper layers uniformly, remodelling existing collagen and triggering new growth across a broad area — one session, results building for six months. Ultraformer delivers focused ultrasound to precise depths, lifting along specific vectors — brows, jawline, neck — often with a visible early change.
The honest answer is that the best device is the one matched to your face — not the one with the best marketing.
At your consultation we assess skin laxity, skin thickness and the areas that bother you, then recommend one — or a staged combination. Both are single-visit treatments with no downtime.
