Is It Safe To Do Ultherapy One year Later?

many patients are benefitting by repeat Ultherapy a year after the first treatment.  There can be a beneficial addtional amount of collagen production from the second treatment. Furthermore, the protocol of treatment has changed greatly in the last year. More lines of treatment energy are being laid down, and with the newer 1.5 mm. depth of energy in the new superficial transducer, more planes of heating can be accomplished.  In addition, the areas such as the forehead, that don't allow the 4.5 mm depth of heating to be used often, can now have the 3mm and the 1.5mm deep transducers.  Speak with your doctor to see how a repeat treatment can be beneficial.

Ultherapy is a safe treatment to repeat after one year. It takes from 3 to 6 months to see the most improvement from the procedure. After the 6 month mark it would be safe to repeat. You would not want to repeat the treatment before that time because you would not have seen the full effect yet. The ultrasound energy from this treatment has no permanent, adverse affects reported to date so there would be no harm in repeating the treatment.
