Ultherapy improvement is seen at 3 months or 6? Doctors seem divided on this.

Hello and thank you for your question!  Our patients are seeing results as early as two months and typically continue to see results up to the six month post treatment.  This is a very individualized treatment and each patient will see the results slightly at different time frames.  I would ask your board certified provider what they typically expect with their results.  Taking good before and progressive after photos is a must, you will be assured to note the difference!  I hope this information helps and best of luck to you!

Most patients can see their results by 3 months but in some cases might take 6.  Ultherapy is a maintenance treatment in my opinion, not a facelift or neck lift replacement.  In most cases, I think it's best to do it every 6 to 12 months anyway, and this is what I recommend to our patients.  If you're interested in a surgical level of improvement, then you should be asking your doctor about actual surgery.

Most patients will show results between 8-12 weeks.  This modality works moderately well in patients in their 40's and 50's.  Patients with more severe aging changes take longer to show results and the final product is usually less convincing.  

Ultherapy results usually begin to show around 3 months with a full response at 6 months, improvement may continue for up to 12 months. Be sure to schedule your treatment with a professional practice that is experienced in the Ultherapy procedure to optimize your results. 

It can take between 6-12 weeks for final results with Ultherapy. Keep in mind, a combination approach would give the most improvement with Ultherapy. I recommend Ultherapy with RF treatments, lasers, microneedling/PRP or sculptra to get increased collagen, tightening and improve skin tone.  I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Every patient is going to be different in their healing timeline.  Just as with surgery every patient is different in their recovery timeline.  With Ultherapy the most results are generally 3 months but you will still see improvements over 6 months.  The number of treatments is also different for different patients.  While some may benefit from only one treatment, the maximum benefit may be a series of treatments.  If you have fine lines or volume issues, you may also benefit from fillers, Botox, laser resurfacing and chemical peels. Good Luck.  

Most patients will start to see results as early as 3 months, but some can take a full 6 months to see the difference.  Sometimes that difference is not appreciated until before and after photos are taken. Scheduling your patients for 3 and 6 month follow ups after Ultherapy is a must.  Some patients in my practice will get retreated at 6 months for even better results.  

We have had patients feel their results show at various times. We've seen results show as early as 2-3 weeks and we have patients call 7 months later saying they are now seeing dramatic results. Our assumption is it varies with each individual. I do feel that results get better with each subsequent treatment! We recommend about one treatment per year. Best, Dr. Grant Stevens

Hi Dear
Any energy source that causes collagen stimulation, causes small scar tissues. Every person is different, but it takes 3-6 months to see final result.
Thank you

No division, just a variation on individuals. The results are dependent on your immune system. Some patients stimulate collagen early, some later and some not at all. Ultherapy, like and other procedure does not give results in 100% of patients, but if one selects suitable patients, it does deliver what it promises. The Fiori Institute, Brisbane. Australia.
