Can a Licensed Aesthetician Perform Ultherapy on Patients in the Medical Office?

Ulthera is a non invasive device that can be done by a trained aesthetician or physician assistant. In my office we use both. They are trained by the company to do advance treatments and have accumulated a vast amount of experience. I did trust my face to a well trained aesthetician after we got Ulthera

The regulations dictating who can peform a treatment in a doctor's office, is different in different states.  Some may indicate physician supervision and other states may say that aestheticians can not perform certain treatments. There may not be specific mention of ultrasound energy devices and as it is not a laser, some state might need new regulations to include Ultherapy.

Ulthera is a nonivasive technology that uses focused ultrasound to stimulate collagen rebuilding and skin lifting. Though regulations vary from state to state, in most places it can be delgated to another person such as a medical esthetician. Because it is a medical device however it requires supervision by a medical professional.
