Short educational video explaining Ultherapy (microfocused ultrasound) and microneedling with radiofrequency, focusing on candidate selection and safety. Presenter states Ultherapy suits patients with facial volume prone to sagging, warns heat-based devices can cause unwanted fat melting if misused, and recommends low-energy microneedling-RF (e.g., Morpheus, Secret RF) for younger patients with sinking or crepey skin.

Ultherapy Microneedling radiofrequency who's the right candidate? ULTHERAPY utilizes micro focused ultrasound energy to create damage under the surface of the skin in the subcutaneous tissue so that you can regenerate collagen and your skin can tighten over time. Who's the right candidate is a great question because we're not all created equal and it's not all paint by number. The person who has volume in their face who is prone to sagging is the right candidate for an ULTHERAPY treatment. But it must be done under the right hands because any source of heat based device, whether it is ultrasound or radiofrequency, can lead to unwanted side effects like fat melting if done incorrectly or too aggressively. Now, if you're somebody who's not sagging but you're prone to sinking or you have creepy skin and it's starting at a relatively young age, in your mid-30s, let's say I would not pick ultherapy. I would go for something like microneedling with radio frequency, e.g. morphis or the secret RF. But I would make sure to keep the energy very, very low and the needles.
