In a word, absolutely. Thermage does not predispose the skin for impaired healing and Ultherapy treats the skin at a deeper level than Thermage. I have provided these treatments with short intervals in between many times without any adverse events.
There is no reason not to have both procedures done, provided that you allow enough time to evaluate the full response to the Thermage. This would be about 3 months or a bit longer. Ultherapy might give a boost to your results by targeting different layers.
I don't see how the Thermage treatment could negatively interfere with the proposed Ultherapy treatment. Waiting more time might show greater improvement after the Thermage and one might be more pleased with the result and if that's the case,they may be less willing to undergo another procedure. Six months is considered to be an appropriate time to evaluate the response from non-invasive procedures.
I don't see a contraindication for having Ultherapy following failed Thermage. It should tighten the skin and SMAS layer to treat laxity in the neck.

Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared technology for facial and neck lifting. It uses microfocused ultrasound which precisely places heat into specific layers under the skin. The "Ultra neck lift" appears to be a radiofrequency device similar to Thermage. It also appears that there is some ultrasound used...
Ultherapy works more deeply than the depth the Fraxel Repair reaches when the Ultherapy 4.5mm transducer is used. I wouldn't use the more superficial 1.5mm transducer the same day as Fraxel Repair is used. Should a physician do both treatments, the Ultherapy would be usually done first.
There can be some tightening obtained when Fraxel laser resurfacing is done, especially the Fraxel Repair laser and this can help reduce acne scarring. There are risks of all procedures and during the consultation the physician should evaluate the patient's skin and discuss the benefits...
You might get some tightening with the Ulthera for the festoons. We have been using it for that, and some people do seem to get improvement. But not everyone! There are no downsides to giving it a try as there isn't much else that works well to decrease the festoons. Some...
