Is it safe to undergo a Facetite 6 months after Ultherapy?

Question

I’m 48 years old had Ultherapy with so so results planning to see plastic surgeon for a Facetite, is it safe to combine both?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

It is possible that you can elect to have FaceTite six months after Ultherapy, but you will first need an in person evaluation.  As you are still not satisfied after Ultherapy treatment, it's important to discuss your goals with your provider to determine which procedure would be best for you.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

Combining Ultherapy and Facetite procedures can potentially be done, but the safety and feasibility of this combination should be determined by a qualified plastic surgeon during an in-person consultation.

Both Ultherapy and Facetite are minimally invasive procedures that aim to tighten and lift the skin, but they work through different mechanisms. Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production in the deep layers of the skin, while Facetite utilizes radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin and underlying tissues.

Combining these treatments may offer complementary effects, as they target different layers of the skin and underlying tissues. However, it is essential to have a thorough evaluation by a qualified plastic surgeon to determine if you are a suitable candidate for both procedures and if there are any potential risks or contraindications specific to your case.

During your consultation, the surgeon will assess your skin condition, medical history, and desired outcome to provide personalized advice. They will be able to discuss the potential benefits, risks, and any considerations related to combining Ultherapy and Facetite. Following their professional guidance is crucial to ensure your safety and achieve optimal results.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

Hello, thank you for your question. Facetite uses Bipolar Radiofrequency. It allows heat to be applied directly to the skin and subcutaneous tissue. It is especially safe thanks to its new two sensors that instantly monitor both the skin surface and subcutaneous heat. Previous Ultherapy application does not cause a problem. 
Kind Regards
