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.
