The main difference between SkinTyte™ and Ultherapy® is that SkinTyte™ (ST) is done with our Sciton laser — the best laser on the market — treating close to the deepest layer of skin. The skin is heated to stimulate collagen for tightening. SkinTyte™ treatments can take up to six months to see the full results.
Ultherapy®, on the other hand, is done by ultrasound, treating the deepest layer of skin to stimulate collagen tightening. A few patients see some results almost immediately. However, full results usually take 3-6 months to present themselves. Although this therapy tends to be a more intense treatment, causing slight discomfort, it’s very bearable.
The cost of Ultherapy® is a bit higher. However, Ultherapy® is a “one and done” type treatment lasting two to five years, whereas with ST, you usually need a series of treatments to see the same results.
