Thermage vs Ulthera — anyone found a plain-English explainer?
Every derm menu has both, sometimes 3 versions of each. I get they're "lifting" devices but I don't get what's different or who each one is for.

Simplest version I've seen: both heat deeper layers to tighten. Ulthera is ultrasound and targets specific depths (often used for lifting along the jaw/brow). Thermage is radiofrequency, more for overall firming/texture. Lots of clones exist too, so ask which actual device and how many shots/lines.

And ask how it's priced. Shots vs area vs "full face" can make two quotes impossible to compare.

Every derm I messaged suggested one of these alongside the surgery talk. I'm asking whether it makes sense before or after surgery, or at all.
