I read a lot of ultratherapy to lift the face...some people got very good results but for some others it was catastrophic!!! They said ultratherapy melt their face and they lost the fat in their face...so I feel very confused...why some people lost the fat in their face after the procedure? why it works for some , and for some others it was just a disaster as they said? Please I need to understand intellectually why this happened so I may be able to take a decision , to do it or no...thank you in advance

Answer: Controversy Around Ultherapy Hi Rita. Sorry to hear about your confusion regarding Ultherapy. I wouldn't really say the results of the treatment are controversial, however, as the treatment has become more popular and widespread a lot of places are treating people who are not the right candidates for the procedure. Ultherapy is very good for people who have mild to moderate skin laxity. Not everyone is a suitable candidate for the procedure. Choosing the right candidates is crucial for getting an optimal result. Many people will also need more than one treatment and this should be disclosed to them from the start. The treatment is also dependent on the skill and knowledge of whoever is providing it. The machine will not do all the work itself. In the right hands there is no risk of fat loss or unwanted results. The most important thing you can do is have an in-person consultation and evaluation with a physician that provides the treatment. Not a nurse or a tech. If it ends up that you are not a suitable candidate for Ultherapy then there are other treatments that may be beneficial for you. Hope this helps!

Answer: Ultherapy safe and effective for the right patient I have been providing Ultherapy for more than 4 years and have not seen any fat loss. The results are inherently variable because the lifting effect depends on the individual's response to the treatment. In general, the older the patient and the thinner the skin, the less the response. It is not an alternative to a surgical facelift.

Answer: Ultherapy and Long Term Results -- IT CANNOT MELT THE FACE Ultherapy cannot damage the face if used properly. It can however give lifting and tightening in those who are good candidates. I find that the procedure either wasn't done properly or the poor results seen were from a stealth device that wasn't the true ultherapy, or the right candidate wasn't chosen. We combine all our treatments with sculptra to get better outcomes. Please see an expert who does the treatments themselves. Dr. Emer.
