Ultherapy may produce long term results
Prior to the marketing of the Ulthera device, Ultherapy was studied for the FDA for the three previous years. It had been developed since about seven years ago. The tightened connective tissue and new collagen seem to be present for the long term but of course any lifting, even surgical, still fights the ongoing aging process. Ulthera can be repeated to even improve the good results, six to 12 months later.

Ultherapy does not stop the aging process, so immediately post-procedure you will continue to age.

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. We will see better as our results are followed over the next few years, but I'm optimistic that the brow, face and neck will be better over the years than if not treated. And another ulthera down the road might just as well...
