Do you need to be dieting for Ulthera?

A healthy well balanced diet is won't prevent collagen formation as a result of Ultherapy. If however, you are in a protein negative balance by not consuming enough protein in your diet, then you might not mount as good a response to the Ultherapy. If you are deficient in vitamin C, which is rare but I published a case report of an adolescent woman who had subclinical Scurvy many years ago, the collagen formation could be deficient as vitamin C is a prerequisite for collagen.

As long as your diet ensures you are getting the proper nutrition and you are doing it in a healthy manner, you should not experience adverse results to your Ulthera procedure. Collagen is a protein so a positive diet is more conducive for a more effective result to your Ultherapy treatment. Weight loss can result in fat loss to the face that may make things look saggier, so you may need volume replacement when you do lose weight.Thanks for your question!

A healthy diet should not counter the effects of your Ulthera treatment. As long as you are dieting in a healthy manner and getting the proper nutrition, you should not experience adverse results in regards to your Ulthera procedure.

Our office obtains excellent results with Ulthera.  I encourage patients to eat a well balanced diet and optimize Vitamin C load so that collagen formation is increased after Ulthera.  Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

The diet will not affect the skin tightening of  Ulthrapy.  The diet may reduce the neck fat a may even improve the out come.  Ulthrapy takes about three to see the full outcome and photos are very important.

A weight loss diet should not affect Ultherapy results as long as you are getting enough protein and it is balanvced in terms if vitamins etc (vitamin supplements probably not necessary if your diet is balanced.)

Collagen is a protein and a positive diet with amino acids and positive nitrogen balance (physiologic term for taking in appropriatee load of protein) is more conducive for more effective collagen deposition in the skin to achieve effective skin tightening.
