Is It OK to Have Ulthera Done if You've Had Sculptra Injections?

Although many believe there may be no affect on the Sculptra if Ultherapy is performed over it, studies are being done now to investigate the effect. Until we know better, I am suggesting waiting six months after Sculptra was injected before performing the Ultherapy. On the other hand, Ultherapy can be done and Sculptra immediately after as then there is no concern of the ultrasound energy passing through tissues that might have the Sculptra.

Ultherapy works by focused ultrasound energy which creates heat and stimulates collagen in the treatment area. If you've recently had Sculptra or other facial fillers, your physician would attempt to avoid these areas as the treatment could shrink or break down the injectable material. If you are considering having both Ultherapy and Sculptra, it would be highly advisable to have Ultherapy first, followed up by Sculptra. There is no need to wait 90 days for the fillers.... more

As previously mentioned, the purpose of Sculptra is to add volume to areas of the face that are deficient, while the purpose of Ultherapy is to tighten soft tissue. I would certainly recommend Ultherapy first and Sculptra second in this regard.
