I would like to get Ultherapy and a Vampire Facelift. Which one should I do first? How long should I wait between procedures?

I had planned on getting Ultherapy first then start the Vampire Facelift the following week or so. For best results should I change my plan? Is there anything I can do to make sure I get best results possible. Any supplements to take or to stay away from? Any info. would be appreciated.
