Does Ultherapy result in "subcutaneous tissue scars"?

Question

Hello, I recently heard from a derm that Thermage is a preferable treatment to Ultherapy and the reason for that is the latter, due to the high energy 'zaps', would leave subcutaneous tissue "scarring". She says that while this is not something that we can see, it's may become a concern for the future because when you accumulate lots of those scars (via several Ultherapy sessions) you are no longer an effective candidate for thread lifts and other procedures. Should I be concerned?

I do thermage and ultherapy on myself for the past 10 years and never had anh issues. if you get this done right by a provider who knows what they are doing. I do morpheus every 2 months with halo.

at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (MTS roller with anteage MD ampules weekly, see linkt) should be started now to prevent further aging and I do those between my lasers.

For facial rejuvenation,  I would suggest a combination approach of 
1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel/halo Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest
7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8 for tightening of the skin
8) Vascular laser like vbeam/excel V or BBL forever young treatment every quarter (3-4 months)

Best, Dr. Emer.
