Caffine Consumption - Would It Affect the Effectiveness of Ultherapy?

Question

Hi, I would like to know if it is OK to consume drinks containing caffeine post-Ultherapy treatment? Would it alter the effectiveness or disrupt the collagen natural building process? Thank you for your help.

There is no theoretical negative interaction between caffeine and collagen production or connective tissue tightening from Ultherapy.

I recommend consumption of Vitamin C and Vitamin C containing fruits in order to stimulate and promote collagen production post Ultherapy.  This approach is natural and helpful to patients. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

Miguel Delgado, MD · Answer

Ultherapy is ultrasonic sound waves which heat up the deeper skin layer and triggers new collagen.  Caffeine is not known to affect this process and, therefore, it is fine to have coffee.

Hratch Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Coffee, caffeine and caffeine containing beverages and products do not interfere with collagen production and their use has not been shown to down regulate the production of collagen. Ultherapy stimulates collagen production and therefore is not affected by caffeine consumption.
