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.
