HIFU Lasers | Ultherapy vs Ultraformer

When do I use Ultherapy or HIFU over RF devices?
Generally, I prefer RF over HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound – Ultherapy- Ultraformer). This is why-

RF energy provides long-tail heating of collagen & the fibroseptal network (fat fibers). For patients with less facial fat, slow heating is safer. In contrast, HIFU is useful for patients with a ‘higher content’ of facial & neck fat. In this scenario, HIFU can provide slimming through collateral inflammation of fat & contraction of the fat network.

HIFU also known as Ultherapy & Ultraformer is useful for lower face laxity.
For patients with a lot of sun damage, Ultherapy & RF treatments will not work. This is because collagen & elastin is broken, a term we call elastolysis. Lasers & deep peels can repair broken collagen – solar elastosis. From there, the usual

Dr Davin is amazing. I stopped doing HiFu because I learnt recently that doing too much and going in blind will result in unwanted fat loss and the sunken face look. Very few other derms online and in real-life even want to acknowledge this. Dr Davin not only ADDRESSES IT HEAD ON and tells you how you can still use energy devices WITHOUT unwanted fat loss. A pity I do not live in the country where he practices because such nuances creates a world of a difference overtime. Bryan Johnson for example stopped ALL energy-based lasers and treatments to his face because of unwanted fat loss, his team is reviewing them and he is now injecting fat into his face.

I am really amaze how Dr Davin addressed this. Truly it's good to have you mate.

Thank you so much. You always give interesting and informative information.
As a side note, could I ask a question.
Do you do Emsculpt procedures?
Thank you and best wishes to you.

Hi Dr. could you make a video addressing what can tighten skin but do not melt fat? Thanks.

Will you be getting Ultraformer MPT in Brisbane?

[reneenana]

THANK YOU SO MUCH DR! in korean Ulthera is sooo polular for lifting but here in NZ MPT is the newest. i was so confused and just found out MPT in Korean actually call SHURINK. 😅 surprisingly, the cost of Shurink is cheaper and states the results last shorter in KR. anyways, i feel so lucky come across this vedio and understanding more for what i need.

can HIFU/ultherapy reduce buccal fat pads if you already have a some what lean face? or is this fat too deep? thanks.

Hi Dr! Would you still recommend Ulthera on the forehead to achieve a slight eyebrow lift? You've done it yourself and honestly, if it was the only intervention you did, your result were incredibly effective. Would you do it again on yourself?
And from your point of view: is scar formation a real issue with respect to possible later surgeries in the area (surgical brow lifts or other)

What about Ulterapy SPT, which is a newer version? Is it available in Australia?

I'm thinking of getting HIFU or Ultherapy to tighten my jowl lines. Or should I get thread lift instead? (For mild to moderate sagging jowls)

I had ultherapy 3x to build collagen die to my very thin neck. It did a great job all 3 times, my tech moved to another office and said she was only using RF micro-needling. She obviously wasn't trained properly and the pain was 50x worse than ultherapy. No one should be in that much pain, if they are, the tech has the wrong settings. She never changed the settings, and after the third pass, I finally told her no more. My neck never built the collagen like the ultherapy did and it took any fat away on my neck which may ha e been there. It did tighten my neck but never noticed the collagen stimulation. I'm not against micro-needling at all, I think it's a great device if you know what your doing but I'll stick with ultrasound for neck tightening . Thanks Dr Lim for letting us know the settings for subcutaneous involvement.
