Hello, how long after having a TCA peel must I wait before having Ulthera. I am just a bit pink. Thanks.
Answer: Chemical peels and Ulthera in Los Angeles
We would advise patients to combine Ulthera with chemical peels, Botox, Radiesse, and other fillers. I would recommend Ulthera once the peeled skin is well healed and non-tender. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

Answer: Chemical peels and Ultherapy
There are many variables when doing chemical peels. There are superficial (very superficial or superficial), medium and deep chemical peels (the latter are rarely done these days). Depending on which peel a patient has, the amount of exfoliation or epidermal loss can be significantly different as well as the time required to heal.
Ultherapy might be done sooner after a given chemical peel, if the deeper transducers are used but there might be more time needed if the superficial 1.5 mm. transducer is used as there can be some temporary welts in the skin and this might be exacerbated if done immediately after a chemical peel.
Your doctor should advise you.

Answer: Best Time for Ulthera After a Peel
Hi Clare,
I agree with my esteemed colleague, Dr. Weiner. Once your skin has recovered from your TCA peel then have your Ulthera. Usually about 2 weeks after the peel is fine. Enjoy your facial rejuvenation! Good luck and be well.

Answer: Wait for Ulthera
In my opinion you should wait for at least 90 days to do Ulthera after a TCA peel. Although it would not harm you to do the Ulthera before that, you're cheating yourself. The effects of the peel will take that long to show and the collagen production as a result of the peel will probably not be enhanced by the Ultherapy and visa versa. In other words, the skin is healing from the peel and further treatment during the healing process just causes more damage, slows the initial healing from the peel ( the collagen repair in the dermis you can't see ) and makes the body's work more difficult. In this case, more would not be better and you're wasting your money and taxing your body's repair system. Be patient, slow and steady truly does win the race!!
