Long-lasting Results for Ultherapy on Jowls?

prior to the marketing of the Ulthera device, Ultherapy was studied for the FDA for the three previous years. It had been developed since about seven years ago. The tightened connective tissue and new collagen seem to be present for the long term but of course any lifting, even surgical, still fights the ongoing aging process. Ulthera can be repeated to even improve the good results, six to 12 months later.

This is a very good question and I believe the true answer is still evolving   The general consensus is a few years but depends on many factors like age,sun damage, ect.  You will also continue to age.. The treatment can be repeated for added lifting..

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.
