When can I do Ulthera after a peel?

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

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.

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.
