Ultherapy will not affect the longevity of the Botox
Having Botox administered 2 weeks prior to an Ultherapy treatment will not affect the longevity of the product. Consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon before any cosmetic procedure or treatment to make sure you are a good candidate and understand the benefits and risks.

Ultherapy and botox
Hi,
Botox works at the nerve-muscle junction and this will not be affected by having Ultherapy. Some doctors do these treatments at one time but most patients would rather have the treatments at different times.

You can have Botox up to 1-2 weeks before Ultherapy. To be on the safe side, I tell my patients to allow 2 weeks after Botox before the treatment to prevent faster turnover and a shorter duration of Botox.

Ultherapy OK after Botox
After 2 weeks there should be no problem doing Ultherapy over the same area. It might even be a good combination, though that has not been specifically studied.

Will Botox longevity be affected by Ultherapy?
I generally recommend waiting at least 2 weeks after having Botox done before getting a procedure like Ulthera. This is because Ulthera may cause slight facial swelling, which may cause Botox to drift to unwanted areas if done too soon after Botox injections. If done this way, it is highly unlikely that any pre-Ulthera Botox will degrade. This is because Botox and Ulthera have different, non-opposing mechanisms of action. Botox relaxes muscles (usually taking full...
