Ultherapy uses ultrasound (HIFU) to strongly stimulate the deepest SMAS layer to lift sagging lines, while Thermage uses radiofrequency (RF) to evenly deliver heat to the dermis layer to improve skin elasticity. In contrast, titanium lifting uses three wavelengths of laser simultaneously to stimulate multiple layers from beneath the epidermis to the supporting ligament layer at once. This allows for immediate changes to be easily felt, but the maintenance of a single treatment may feel relatively shorter compared to Ultherapy or Thermage, which focus strongly on one layer. Therefore, if sagging is deep, Ultherapy or Thermage may be more suitable, while titanium lifting may be better if quick changes and shorter recovery are prioritized.
