How Long Should One Wait in Between Fraxel and Ultherapy Treatments?

Question

I have already recieved an ulthera treatment 1 weeka ago and was planning on doing a fraxel re:pair treatment shortly. Is this to soon? My undderstanding is that ulthera treats deeper layers and is nonablative while the fraxelwould address more superficial layers. Thanks

If you had Fraxel Repair, then you would wait until it healed fully before doing the Ultherapy so as not to rub over the raw skin, but Fraxel Repair has been done right after the Ultherapy as the skin is left intact immediately after the Ultherapy and its energy targets deeper tissue than the Fraxel Repair and Restore.  However, if there is any unusual reaction seen from the Utherapy, such as welts, then the Fraxel should be delayed until the skin looks normal, which should only be the matter of several days or less.

I routinely perform Ulthera and Fractionated CO2 resurfacing on the same day. Ulthera is performed first, followed by CO2 facial resurfacing. These treatments can be safely performed together as they  address different layers. When performed in conjunction with fillers and Botox/Dysport, this is very effective non-invasive facial rejuvenation in the appropriate patient. Good luck with achieving your aesthetic goals.
