My ultherapy practitioner told me that ultherapy cannot be applied to the sagging pouch like areas to the right and left of the mouth. Is this true?

If your ultherapy practitioner provided this information, you should understand that you are unlikely to achieve the benefit you desire if you were treated. None of the non-invasive 'skin-tightening' procedures can ever provide the results that can be achieved surgically.

We do not offer Ulthera in our practice. However we have had nice results for the laxity (looseness) of the jaw line (jowls) and lower face using Exilis ULTRA (combination of radiofrequency and ultrasound). The treatment is generally less expensive than Ulthera and is much better tolerated (comfort-wise during the treatment).
