How come is fat loss after Ultherapy & is 45 minutes enough time for face & neck?

Question

I’m worried about having ultherapy done. I went somewhere that did a lot of expensive procedures that didn’t have great results. Then, I went to a nurse aesthetician who provided simpler, less expensive, and more effective procedures. She has also suggested ultherapy, but I’m terrified of fat loss in my neck and face. She says she has 20 years experience with ultherapy. How common is fat loss? Also, to do ultherapy on my face and neck everything I’ve read says 60-90 minutes for full face and neck. I even asked her if 45 minutes would be enough time, and her response was, “Yes, it’s not a long appointment.” Should I be wary that she’s cutting corners or not taking as long as she needs to?

Hello @lulubryugo5, thank you for your question. Ulthera is a technology that produces coagulation lines to provide tissue support. The range of action of this product is deeper, so there is a very minimal loss of fat as a result. This process depends on the number of lines that are applied, which are generated after the assessment in which the needs of the patient's skin are taken into account and which determines the duration of the process. For more information and recommendations, it is prudent to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
