I am thinking about getting Ulthera but I am a bit scared after reading some of the reviews on here. A lot of reviews are great - but others are pretty terrifying with people posting pictures showing that they clearly look a lot worse after treatment. What has caused this? Is it a case of operator error with the machine? Thank you

Answer: Ultherapy Facts--add lasers, RF, Sculptra, microneedling/prp Ultherapy is a great device, but works best in combination with other treatments like lasers, RF treatments, microneedling/PRP or sculptra to get increased collagen, tightening and improve skin tone. I recommend getting a formal consultation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Ultherapy reviews Thanks for your question. Ultherapy is a procedure which should be performed by highly experienced technicians as there can be complications if it is done incorrectly. This is true of ANY procedure really. However, regardless of how it is done, Ultherapy does not cause significant facial fat loss. This has been studied specifically, and even reviewed in detail by the FDA, with no warning issued as a result. I have seen quite a few "supposed" before and after photos posted on this site where I can tell (because I know how to look for the skeletal signs of aging) that the before and after images were literally DECADES apart. In others it was clear that there had been a substantial change in body weight. In the end, nothing will ever have 100% positive reviews in aesthetics. When it comes to reviews, you don't know the background, integrity, motivations, prejudices etc.. of the writer. Most important is for you to find a provider with the proper experience and reputation to perform an advanced level service- that will be your best insurance against an unsatisfactory outcome.
