Ulthera - How Experienced Should a Doctor be?

Even though my doctor is qualified to perform Ulthera.. the fact that he hasn't done very many patients have anything to do with the results. I am talking about his knowledge of the number of passes and angles used to get the most benefit from the treatment. I want to know if there is a standard way of using the machine or is it his experience from trial and error?
