Does JLO use Ultherapy?

Absolutely not. In general, I use so many strategies to make sure our patients look beautiful and natural, and one area of concern is the laxity of the skin. That's when I recommend to patients to think about Thermage—if they need it.

Yes, I heard that it was painful but it makes sense that over the years dermatologists would try to limit pain and make things more comfortable for the patient. People don’t complain of pain anymore with this technology. The device itself, of course, gets modified and upgraded just like everyone’s iPhone does over the years and we’ve brought in the latest system over the past year, which does have a higher peak power, and it has a better cooling mechanism on the handpiece that helps cool the skin and make for greater comfort. It’s not to say that people won’t feel it—the general feedback we get from patients is a hot sensation, but definitely not painful. So we do take that metric and feedback to adjust how we treat each individual patient because that tells us when we’re at the right levels.

How effective is the process? Do people need to go back for follow ups?

Most of our patients who like Thermage will continue to do follow ups because we’re continuing to age constantly, of course. I do find that a lot of my patients who do Thermage are coming in twice a year to have a session, but this is going to be variable based on how great of a responder someone might be. Some people might do it three times a year, while some people might do it one time a year. And there will always be a percentage of people who won’t respond, and they might not continue to do the treatment. But the good news for everybody is that given what we know from the trials, even if we don’t see a visible lifting or tightening in the minority, those people will still likely get a prevention over time because those collagen fibers have been improved and the rate of laxity that is coming should be diminished.
