Compare Ultherapy Results with Eprime Results?
RealSelf actual patient comment:
I suspect the downtime is longer with eprime and the pain is greater with ultherapy. However, I would tolerate both in exchange for results. Any head to head comparisons on skin tightening results? Thanks!
A.Profound RF is an improved more effective and safe evolution of “ePrime”.
Profound RF and Ultherapy are different non-surgical device skinlifting and tightening treatments that are both safe and effective. Profound RF uses paired micro-needles that emit radiofrequency energy while deployed 1 to 2 mm beneath the skin for 3 to 4 seconds creating a controlled temperature of 67 degrees C. Ultherapy uses the topical application of micro-focused ultrasound energy at different skin depths (4.5, 3.0, 1.5mm) creating heat. Both technologies work by stimulating new collagen over time. Both continue to improve over a 6 to 9 month period and both are thought to last about 5 years, though you will look better for the rest of your life compared to how you would have looked without having the treatment.The downtime for Profound RF is 7 to 10 days due to bruising and swelling. There is little to no downtime with Ultherapy. In some patients, the two procedures may be combined for even better ultimate results. The results of each treatment are dependent upon the individual patient (age, health, skin damage, smoking, etc.), they are both effective, but in general Profound RF is a more aggressive treatment. The discomfort of both procedures is controlled in my practice with local anesthesia.As with any facial aesthetic treatment it is essential to make sure that you choose your treating physician carefully based upon their skill, knowledge, results, experience, and most importantly their natural artistic vision. Good luck and be well!!!
