Long term results are seen in the brows

While only being around now a short time, ulthera results have persisted in the brows at 18 months by report and if similar to the results obtained by deeper CO2 lasers, one postulates that these other areas will always be tighter as the aging process carries on.

Ultherapy does not stop the aging process, so immediately post-procedure you will continue to age. If you have healthy skin, avoid smoking,... more
