I get regular IPL facials and I would like to get Ultherapy, how long after IPL should I wait before doing Ultherapy? Also what about fillers? How long after fillers do I need to wait to get Ultherapy? Does it affect the fillers? I had fillers a few months ago and am wondering when the best time to schedule ultherapy would be ????

Answer: Optimal timing for Ultherapy, IPL, and fillers If possible, I would do the Ultherapy first, then IPL although they could be done the same day if you don't mind some additional swelling. I usually try to avoid doing Ultherapy directly over areas with fillers, but often there isn't much overlap any way; for example you could have fillers in the nasolabial lines and do Ultherapy on the cheeks. If you get enough lifting with Ultherapy, that could potentially affect how the fillers are placed so wait a month or two.

Answer: Ultherapy, Fillers, and Laser Treatment There is no absolute answer for timing between laser treatment, IPL, fillers, and Ultherapy. I will give you my guidelines. For IPL and Ultherapy - they could actually be done on the same day, or days apart. However, if done on the same day, I would recommend the Ultherapy first and then the IPL. You may have more swelling and a bit more down-time if you do them together. If you decide to do them apart from each other - I would wait until you are healed from the first treatment before you do the 2nd. For fillers and Ultherapy, I think it is important to NOT do the Ultherapy right after you have had fillers done. Again, there is no strict guideline. Since Ultherapy uses ultrasound waves to heat up the lower tissues and cause tightening, I expect that it could "melt" the fillers if they are in the same areas. So, I would wait to do the fillers after the Ultherapy. If fillers are done before, I recommend that you wait at least a 2-3 months until you have Ultherapy done in the same area.
