Before comparison: How many groups can face lifting be categorized?
Non-surgical facelift procedures
They can be broadly divided into two groups based on "energy consumption".

XTherma In this group.
Group 2: Ultrasound
- use ultrasound waves
- Fire the energy in a "point" direction.“
- Focuses on lifting at the structural level of the skin.
Ulthera Prime In this group.
Just understand this point.
You'll begin to see "why the results and feelings are different."“
What is XTherma?
XTherma It is a technology. Monopolar Radiofrequency (RF)
That delivers heat energy to the deep layers of the skin.
To stimulate the contraction of existing collagen fibers.
And it stimulates the long-term production of new collagen.
