Long-lasting Results for Ultherapy on Jowls?

While Ulthera is a relatively new device, clinical experience so far indicates results are long-lasting.  I have been using the device for one year in my practice and have several patients who have continued to show improvement for as long as six months.  Since the treatment stimulates collagen formation and creates tissue tightening in this fashion, expectations for long term results are high.  You will continue to age, however, and eventually the aging process will overcome the improvements gained through the treatment.  There is no reason a secondary treatment, either Ulthera or sugical, couldn't be done at that time.

While only being around now a short time, ulthera results have persisted in the brows at 18 months by report and if similar to the results obtained by deeper CO2 lasers, one postulates that these other areas will always be tighter as the aging process carries on. We will see better as our results are followed over the next few years, but I'm optimistic that the brow, face and neck will be better over the years than if not treated. And another ulthera down the road might just as well maintain those despite additional years- that's my personal plan to fend off surgery for as long as possible!
