Why is it the some Ultherapy patients get fantastic results after 30 days and some do not get results until 2-3 months? Do younger patients typically get faster results?

Answer: Ultherapy works better on younger patients
Ultherapy is designed to cause localized injury to the tissue layer just below the skin and cause contraction and ultimately stimulate collagen deposition. If the individual has moderate skin laxity with decreased turgor and skin excess, they have less chance of successfully stimulating sufficient collagen deposition and contraction that would be appreciated. Sun damage, smoking, significant weight fluctuation and age make a significant impact on the effectiveness of Ultherapy and each potential client should be assessed based on standard criteria before being advised to under take Ultherapy. In many patients, there is no substitute for a surgical facelift and only a qualified general or facial plastic surgeon can make that determination without bias.

Answer: Ulthera results
Results from Ulthera depend a lot on what you are starting with. Someone with youthful skin with a minimal of laxity and fullness can have a dramatic result quickly but most people will best appreciate their results between 3 and 6 months and with the ability to look back at what you were like before you had your treatment as the slow process of improvement will often blind you to the result until you can look back at a photo. And if it isn't effective, hopefully you have discussed the "what ifs' with you doctor prior to investing in this technology.
