Because Ulthera has a direct effect on the collagen under the skin, causing it to regenerate, the effect is not really a temporary one. That doesn't mean it suspends time, it is more like setting back the aging clock. It uses highly focused ultrasound to target the collagen layer noninvasively, and the full effects take about 3 months to develop.
When Ultherapy was FDA approved in 2009 it was thought that the results were achieved in 12 weeks. While we still have our clients return in 12 weeks for follow up photos and see fabulous results, we've also noticed results in as little as 2 weeks and up to 2 years after treatment. How long the results last also depend on your lifestyle and your normal aging process.
Hello, thank you for your question. On average, ultherapy lasts about 2 years. Every patient is different, and so it may vary.
Thank you for the question. After your Ultherapy Treatment, you may see some initial results, but the ultimate results will take place over 2-3 months, as your body naturally regenerates collagen. Since the procedure stimulates your own collagen production, how long the results last really depends on you. Results can last 1.5-2 years and you can help maintain your more youthful look by scheduling a touch-up Ultherapy treatment on an annual basis.
As with all treatments that stimulate collagen, it is important to remember that everyone ages and breaks down collagen and elastin at a different rate. Patients return to the office at 6 months. At this appointment we review photos and include a touch up treatment to target areas that that need improvement. We love to incorporate additional treatment modalities with Ultherapy to optimize results such as micro needling, Sculptra and Retin-A. While the treatment does last 1-3 years we encourage patients to come in for minimal touchups yearly to keep the collagen stimulated. Patients continue to look younger with age!
This is a good question and really depends on the person. In general, 2-5 years of results. Younger patients (less than 45), patients who take care of their skin, avoid the sun, or have a history or minimal sun exposure, no smoking history, and good genetics :), usually get closer to 5 years.In general, the device stimulates collagen to tighten and lift tissue. The result depends on the person's ability to create collagen in response. Because each person is different, each person produces a different amount of collagen. But any collagen is better than no collagen production as it helps to tighten and support the tissues and keep them from falling at it's current rate.
In my experience, patients generally appreciateresults from Ultherapy for about two years. It’s a great choice for tighteningthe skin and reversing early signs of skin laxity, but unfortunately it’simpossible to stop the aging process completely. Gravity and natural aging willeventually start to take their toll once more.
Great question. The results of an Ultherapy treatment are indicated to last roughly 1.5 to 2 years for the average patient. With that said, I always remind my patients that the aging process cannot be halted and that the goal of Ultherapy is to stimulate collagen production and collagen cross-linking and ultimately put treated patients on a whole new aging curve. It takes roughly 3 months to see the final results from a single Ultherapy treatment and it is highly recommended that patients continue with a good skin care regimen and maintenance treatments to help keep their skin looking its best.
How long Ultherapy results last will depend on the individual; that being said, the average tends to be around 2 years. Unfortunately, there is no way to stop the body from aging, and skin will naturally begin to sag again over time. Touch-ups every two to three years can help keep skin looking young and tight.
I have observed the results of Ulthera to last a year or more depending on the each individual patient. Ulthera uses ultrasound to help re-stimulate collagen growth under the skin at a very deep level. It's a non-invasive procedure, and allows patients to return to their normal daily routines the next day. Due to the nature of the treatment, it takes time for the collagen to grow. Some patients experience immediate tightening, but most see the full effect of Ulthera anywhere from 3-6 months post procedure. At this time, the results can last for a year or longer. Many of my patients see optimal results when they return for an additional booster treatment around the 6 month mark. Feel free to call my office or click the link below for more information.
Ultherapy is anon-invasive ultrasound treatment to improve fine lines and tighten skin aroundthe eyes, chin, and neck. Most treatments last 30-90 minutes and there isno downtime. It usually takes 2-3 months to see full results.
That's it,I said it. I am going to go out on a limb, from everything I have seen and the manner in which ultrasound energy is being used, unequivocally there is fat loss with this procedure, and I believe this is one of the features that can be one of the benefitial effects. Take a look at...
Volume of the face might help support tissues and as fat loss of the deeper part of the face occurs, there may be sagging, lowering of the jowls, more prominent smile creases, the corners of the mouth and marionette lines may appear deeper. After the weight loss, even though you had...
We used the Ulthera device for 3 months and treated 50 patients. Three people had short term mild tightening which disappeared by month 3. No one else saw any results. It was really painful for most patients and takes at least an hour to perform. We used the highest settings on everyone. ...
