Ultherapy and lasers

Unless the physician who is performing the treatment has significant experience utilizing the two procedures on the same day on the same patient, it might be more prudent to space them apart. I tend to perform the Ultherapy first and then do laser resurfacing afterwards, usually on a separate day but there can be exceptions. Discuss the risks with your physician.

Ultherapy use with other lasers (Genesis)

Genesis is a 1064 Yag laser used for redness and collagen regeneration. It heats from the surface down. It generally takes multiple treatments to get good results. Ultherapy is an ultrasound technology that bypasses the top layers of the skin and focuses high frequency ultrasound waves to target the underlying fascia and deeper skin to cause tightening, lifting, and plumping. You see results in 2-3 months, and it is built as a "single" treatment, however more than one treatment may be... more

Ultherapy and Laser Genesis

There is no concern about doing the procedures together – the Ulthera treatment is going much deeper than the laser genesis therapy – so treat away.

Ultherapy and 1064 laser treatment

I would not recommend doing them at the same time. Ulthera does treat the dermis and can induce secondary changes in the epidermis through use of sound waves. The laser genesis uses 1064 micropulses that causes very selective dermal and epidermal injuries that induces tissue remodeling and rejuvenation. After the treatments using both of these devises there is stimulation of collagen formation that occurs over weeks to months. You would get your best results I believe by spacing the... more

Thank you so much for your answers. After researching further on the Ultherapy, it appears this is very painful. Could you recommend something that is just as effective but not as painful???

My main goals are to smooth my fine lines (which Genesis was recommended for).....and to "suck-in" my chipmunk cheeks (Ultherapy or Titan was recommended).

I've already gotten botox to reduce the muscle mass on my jaw and I've had jawline shaving surgery. I'd like to further progress to make a heartshape face by tightening up my cheeks. I do not wish to have buccal fat removal nor do have sagging skin. Just full cheeks.

Could you please provide some advice?
