A Guide To Thermage V Ultherapy: Which Cosmetic Treatment Is Best?

If you dream of tighter, lifted, and youthful-looking skin, you are not alone. Lifting and tightening are two of the most commonly sought outcomes amongst the 18 million+ people who undergo cosmetic treatments each year. When looking at possible procedures, Thermage and Ultherapy are two very likely candidates.

Here at Dicarat Clinic, our expert aestheticians offer both Ultherapy Lifting and Thermage FLX treatments. Before booking any cosmetic treatment, though, it’s imperative that you make an informed decision. Here’s all you need to know about Thermage V Ulterhapy in 2025.

What is Thermage Tightening?

Thermage FLX tightening is a cosmetic treatment used to tighten and contour the skin. Our experts complete the procedure using the fourth-generation Thermage FLX device, which is heralded for its enhanced pain control system and increased precision for more effective treatments.

The treatment is entirely non-surgical and delivers noticeable results after a single session. The procedure focuses on the use of radiofrequency (RF) energy, which is delivered to the dermal layer of the skin to promote collagen regeneration. Ultimately, this can promote younger-looking skin by;

• Strengthening the skin,
• Improving texture,
• Increasing firmness,
• Softening wrinkles,
• Improve pores,
• Restore elasticity,
• Enhancing skin tone.

Thermage tightening is commonly used as an eye contour treatment and can be used on other parts of the face as well as the neck and various body parts including the tummy and arms. Crucially, it is a treatment that does not cause facial fat loss, making it ideal as an anti-aging treatment.

Given its non–surgical style, Thermage skin tightening can be the perfect foundation for building a more youthful appearance before implementing an improved daily beauty ritual. The treatment is suitable for virtually all skin types while clients are  primarily aged 25 and over.

While visible treatments are seen after one treatment and can last for 8-12 months, it is safe to book repeat sessions later on without experiencing side effects.

What is Ultherapy Lifting?

Ultherapy skin lifting is a non-invasive treatment used as an alternative to traditional face lifts. It is completed with an FDA and KFDA-approved device that ultimately helps users achieve noticeably younger-looking skin after a single session, especially when the procedure is completed by one of our experienced professionals.

By using ultrasound energy, the treatment is designed to stimulate increased collagen production by engaging the skin’s natural healing capabilities. It is very commonly used around the jawline and brows, as well as in challenging submental areas. Visible benefits gained from the treatment include;

• Firmer, tighter skin.
• Increased collagen for slower aging. 
• A lifted look.
• Enhanced skin color and appearance.
• Improved skin elasticity.
• Improved skin texture.

The treatment is comfortable with minimal pain while it’s also considered far safer than traditional facelifts. Better still, a professional aesthetician can deliver tailored results by focusing on the treatment areas you care about. This creates great control, especially as a target skin layer can be identified during treatments via a monitor.

One of the most attractive features is that the results look natural as it gently lifts and tightens the skin, working with natural features rather than attempting to make a complete overhaul. The outcome then, is to turn back the hands of time on your appearance.

Ultherapy has become far more popular in recent years, not least because it can be used in conjunction with other procedures.

Thermage V Ultherapy: Understanding the Procedures and Outcomes

Understanding the basics of the two treatments along with what they achieve is one thing, but you’ll also want to learn about the treatments. The great news is that they are both non-invasive. Some other key features are detailed below.

While they focus on different primary benefits, the skin tightening and skin lifting treatments share plenty of similar attributes. So, your decision should be based on what it is that you want to achieve.

Both procedures also start with a personalized consultation followed by cleansing and photography before the application of numbing cream and the subsequent treatment.

Thermage V Ulthera Lifting

Thermage and Ultherapy are two very effective procedures that rejuvenate the skin to restore a youthful glow. If the goal is to combat sagging and a loss of elasticity, the latter is probably the better solution. Conversely,the former is more suitable for anyone who has the aim of improving skin texture and treating fine lines while making facial skin noticeably firmer.

Alternatively, if looking for a more comprehensive approach to rejuvenating your skin, the two treatments can be booked as a full package or safely partnered with Botox procedures. To learn more or book a treatment, get in touch with Dicarat Clinic today.
