Why does Ultherapy give good results in some folks and bad results in others?

Hello,Ultherapy is very technician dependent.  It is extremely important that the provider is visualizing the ultrasound image during treatment and is very experienced using the device.  In our practice, we have had amazing results with no adverse outcomes.  Ultherapy works by administering ultrasound energy to specific depths of skin and muscle with precise ultrasound guidance, which causes tissue tightening and collagen production. Using ultrasound imaging, transducers with different depths are selected and the ultrasound energy can target precise depths of the patients’ lax skin and soft tissue including lax connective tissue of the face and neck.  This is why an experienced technician that performs many treatments daily is important. Good Luck!

Ulthera is the only FDA approved device for non-surgical lifting. For the right patient, this treatment can produce dramatic results. Having a consultation with an experienced center will make all the difference in your result. Our state of the art facility was one of the first practices to have the device. The treatment needs to be customized according to each individual patient's anatomy. By using the monitor on the device we can locate where the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) is. When the focused Ultra sound is delivered to the SMAS, a tightening occurs over 3-6 months. When done correctly Ulthera can give patients a more rejuvenated and younger appearance.Best of luck!

The results from Ultherapy can vary depending upon technique. Patients should be evaluated by a surgeon that can create a customized plan for each individual. Although the machine has standard settings, we rarely use these as most patients don't have standard faces. In addition, most of our patients have other treatments such as dermal fillers, surgery or lasers that further enhance their results. Ultherapy is a tool just as a scalpel is a tool. The results are very much dependent upon who is using the tool and how the plan was created. I would recommend having your ultherapy performed in a medical office that specializes in cosmetic surgery.
