I was told that with Ultherapy my skin will need to have three passes at different heat levels at separate visits. Is that right

Ultherpay focuses on the collagen layer in the skin. So there are two layers that we focus on and both are treated at the same time. If there is a time crunch we can divide upper and lower face on separate visits within a week or so. Definitely there are no three layers treated with ultherapy. 

Thank you for your question.  Typically we like to do at least two passes to deliver heat energy at specific depths of the skin and muscle at the same visit.  This can be split up into separate visits if there is too much discomfort.  The amount of passes of heat energy at specific depths can also depend on your anatomy and if there is tissue to heat up to promote collagen production and tissue tightening.  The specific depths can be identified using the ultrasound guided transducer.  Each person has their own individualized treatment plan to address their specific needs. 

In our practice we do two passes at different depths in the same visit.  It can be a long visit depending on the area being done.   Best of luck!
