I had Ultherapy done in May 2011 - I'm in my mid-30's and was hoping to increase some lift in my neck and jowls. It helped - but the results weren't enough in my opinion, as they are really subtle. Is it safe to do it again one year later?

Answer: Repeat Ultherapy after one year could be helpful
There is no risk to repeating the Ulthera treatment that is different than the first time, and the effect could build on the first one. Starting young like you ware will also postpone the need for more invasive procedures later too.

Answer: How often to do Ultherapy Hi and thank you for your questions. The collagen stimulation from Ultherapy continues for 6 months, so it isn’t necessary to repeat a treatment before then.However, it is completely safe to do so, should you desire. I have had a few patients preparing for a big event or birthday who were so thrilled with the effects from the first treatment that they insisted on a second treatment at 4-5 months to get all possible improvements as quickly as possible. These patients continued to be even more satisfied and excited about the changes.We are always sure to educate all patients that they will continue to improve from each treatment throughout those 180 days. Overall, we leave the decision up to the patients dependent on their individual needs, results and budget. I feel an ideal plan would be a second treatment after 12-18 months and evaluate. Every patient is unique, will have varying results, and ages at different rates. One person may be fine with one treatment every three years and the next may be ready after 1-2 years. I find my patients are so happy to have such an effective, non-surgical skin lifting option that they plan on coming back yearly to maximize the benefits and improvements.
