Risks of Ulthera After Juvederm?

I spent $1800 on Juvederm injections and botox last week. I am scheduled for ultherapy this week. Will the ultherapy affect the Juvederm; I love the results and don't want to loose the Juvederm. The same doctor is doing the ultherapy who did the filler treatments.

Hi, Using the Ulthera treatment for tightening the skin really should not effect the injections of juvederm with the careful monitoring done during the Ulthera treatments. Having said this, it is possible that you would lose some volume of the injections but if this happens, a quick touch up with Juvederm will bring you right back to the way you are pre Ultherapy.

Ulthera and Juvederm or Restylane

Currently there are no reports that Ulthera would interfere wtih Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, Sculptra if the fillers / volumizers had been injected prior to the treatment with Ulthera, but theoretically, the depth of ultrasound energy from Ulthera could reach and pass through the plane of filler placement. Whether this energy would cause the filler to be less effective or for it to... more

Juvederm

Ulthera heats up the tissue. So there may be interference with your Juvederm treatment. Both act only locally. If different areas are treated, this should be fine. see video

Ulthera and Fillers

Ultherapy focuses energy in the exact same place as filler is usually placed. Although I am not aware of any studies specifically done looking at the effect, it is assumed that the ultrasound energy will effect the filler.
