This is a good question and really depends on the person. In general, 2-5 years of results. Younger patients (less than 45), patients who take care of their skin, avoid the sun, or have a history or minimal sun exposure, no smoking history, and good genetics :), usually get closer to 5 years.In general, the device stimulates collagen to tighten and lift tissue. The result depends on the person's ability to create collagen in response. Because each person is different, each person produces a different amount of collagen. But any collagen is better than no collagen production as it helps to tighten and support the tissues and keep them from falling at it's current rate.
In my experience, patients generally appreciateresults from Ultherapy for about two years. It’s a great choice for tighteningthe skin and reversing early signs of skin laxity, but unfortunately it’simpossible to stop the aging process completely. Gravity and natural aging willeventually start to take their toll once more.
Great question. The results of an Ultherapy treatment are indicated to last roughly 1.5 to 2 years for the average patient. With that said, I always remind my patients that the aging process cannot be halted and that the goal of Ultherapy is to stimulate collagen production and collagen cross-linking and ultimately put treated patients on a whole new aging curve. It takes roughly 3 months to see the final results from a single Ultherapy treatment and it is highly recommended that patients continue with a good skin care regimen and maintenance treatments to help keep their skin looking its best.
