How long after HIFU do i wait before i can have an elos laser resurface and tighten done?

Question

I have had one session of HIFU (face and neck) done on the 3 of January 2019 and im booked for laser resurface and tighten on the 01 of March 2019. Is this ok or should i wait longer for the HIFU healing to be complete?

Thank you for your question.  You can have laser done the same day as your Ultherapy (HIFU) to help improve your results.  Ultherapy helps tighten the skin from the deeper layers and the laser can help resurface and tighten from the superficial layers. With combination therapy, you can have a better result.  We also recommend using pre and post treatment products to help improve results as well!

There should be virtually no "healing" associated with HIFU.
Laser resurfacing can usually be done shortly after HIFU, even the same day.
