Which tightening system is the least painful and most effective?

I just turned 58, am above my average weight now and see beginning jowls and "marionette" lines that are driving me crazy. I did one Rejuv filler but my dermatologist has recommended Ultherapy. Now I am hearing that Thermage is equally effective, and less painful -- including by you. Can you offer me an Ultherapy vs. Thermage overall? In short, is Ultherapy more effective for the increased pain and cost? Please help. Thanks

Between Thermage and Ultherapy, in my opinion, they are equally effective when done well, but Ultherapy is much more painful.   The newer Exilis system is least painful of all three of them, and seems to be (limited data still) as effective or possibly even slightly more effective than the first two. 

But………. and this is key……….. no tightening system at age 58, is going to give you great results.    More info on these systems.

One of the best investments in your skin is your daily skincare. Why? Because you can prevent many problems with blotchy skin color, lack of glow, texture, some types of acne, and fine lines with good skincare products. You can also correct some of these problems with effective skincare products. Great skincare is often more expensive because quality ingredients are expensive. Some companies spend on research/development which benefits all of us and adds to the cost. Are they worth it? In general - yes! I have handpicked some of what I consider to be the best skin care products, and offer them for sale on SkinTour's shop. This is based on my team and I's testing and research at our clinic. Many of the products are in my own regimen. What could be better than using skin care products a dermatologist uses?!
