Would/could this be harmful for baby??

Ultherapy has not been evaluated for pregnant or breastfeeding women.  I would recommend waiting until you have confirmed that you are not pregnant before undergoing a treatment.

Reps B. Sundin, MD · Answer

I can see why you might be concerned.Having a treatment like Ultherapy is not
advisable while pregnant.The procedure
does produce some discomfort and pain medications are often given to help with
this and that is generally not something recommended to take while
pregnant.You can double check with your
OB/GYN just to be safe, but I would not recommend it.

Burton M. Sundin, MD · Answer

Thanks for your inquiry.I
would not advice Ultherapy on the abdomen if you are pregnant.You can double check with your OB/GYN to be
sure, but it is not something I would recommend.You should also keep in mind that the
procedure causes discomfort and usually we have to give medication for the
patient to tolerate it and this would be not advisable while you are
pregnant.I hope this helps.

Ultherapy is ultrasound and would have no way to hurt an unborn child.  However,if you are pregnant there is no reason to have cosmetic procedures. I'd wait till after you deliver.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Joel Schlessinger, MD · Answer

While ultrasound is routinely used during pregnancy to evaluate the status of the pregnancy, Ultherapy hasn't been tested yet to see if it is safe during pregnancy.  For this reason, I would wait until after the pregnancy to have it done.  That is the safest and wisest process.  Good luck!
