Answer: The role of protein, collagen and vitamin C in the response to Ultherapy for tightening of facial skin Ultherapy works via two mechanisms.Immediate tissue tightening occurs by contraction of the dermis and fascia.Six + months of collagen production via stimulation of our fibroblast cells. It is not common for someone to be protein deficient so most people will have a satisfactory collagen production, but some people are deficient in dietary protein consumption or have digestive abnormalities preventing them from processing the foods they eat well and in these cases there may be less of beneficial result from Ultherapy theoretically. Another possibility of a dietary cause for a lack of successfulness from Ultherapy is vitamin C deficiency. Vitamin C is a required item needed for protein synthesis in our bodies. Scurvy is rare these days but it does exist. If you think your diet is deficient in protein or vitamin C, then speak with your physician or see a nutritionist to explore this possibility.
