How many Ulthera treatments are needed?
Your Ultherapy treatment should be tailored to you. At your consult with your physician, they can analyze your skin and give you a good idea of what to expect. Many patients see results with one treatment. I advsie patients to wait at least 6 months before considering an additional treatment to evaluate the full effect of the first treatment.

Ultherapy Treatments
The majority of patients only need one 30-60 minute treatment. However, some may benefit from more than one treatment depending on how much laxity they have and their body’s own biological response to the ultrasound and collagen-building process.

Depends
General consensus is that single treatment is sufficient to achieve result with Ultherapy. With this relatively new device, however, more and more newer protocols are being used. I attended a dermatology meeting in Asia recently, where Ultherapy has been in clinical use longer than the U.S., and many physician advocated repeat successive treatment of Ultherapy.

Single treatment with Ulthera is usually enough
Because Ulthera uses highly focused ultrasound to stimulate collagen under the skin to remodel, it takes a few months to see the full effect. Only one session is necessary. You may wish to repeat it at yearly intervals (think of it as setting back the aging clock) but more frequent than that isn't going to add additional benefit.

How Many Ulthera Treatments are Required?
The benefit of Ultherapy is that most patients with early skin laxity only require one treatment to achieve noticeable results. If a patient has moderate to severe laxity they may require a second treatment. The results from the first treatment may not be fully noticeable until six months after the first treatment, so a patient usually does not consider a second treatment until they reach their six month milestone. However, a repeat treatment can safely be performed...

How many Ulthera treatments are needed and How often?
Hey Ankatac!
It depends on the condition of the persons skin, age, medical condition and response of their own body's fibroblasts (cells that produce collagen) to the stimulus. People aged 35-60 have the best response after that the efficiency of the treatment goes down. Most people have one treatment if their condition is mild to moderate and may have another treatment in a year to two. If some one is in the moderate to sever condition of sagging lose skin another treatment can be...
