The three treatments target different layers and have slightly different purposes. Ultherapy is a lifting-centered treatment that reaches the SMAS layer with real-time visualization for accurate targeting, while Shurink focuses on improving elasticity using various depths of cartridges. There are also differences in maintenance duration; Ultherapy naturally changes over 1 to 3 months and is recommended to be done once a year, while Shurink allows for immediate changes but requires more than three treatments a year for maintenance. If sagging is not severe and the purpose is prevention and management, starting with Shurink may be a viable option.
