Asymmetry following Ultherapy (Photo)

Yes, ultherapy results are gradual and can be asymmetrical at first. Keep in mind, a combination approach would give the most improvement with Ultherapy. I recommend Ultherapy with RF treatments, lasers, microneedling/PRP or sculptra to get increased collagen, tightening and improve skin tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert.

Hi Deborah, Thank you for your question. Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin, collagen production can take anywhere from 3-6 months for best results. Some patients experience an initial contraction and tightening of the skin, which in some cases can result in asymmetry. Typically this initial tightening will begin to fade in a few weeks as inflammation begins to subside. If asymmetry does not resolve after a few weeks I would revisit the practice where you had the treatment done so photos can be documented. In some cases the practice can reach out to their Ulthera Rep for further assistance.  All the best, Dr. Joe
