Which procedure can I do to compliment ultherapy results?

Question

I would like to do a laser or rf procedure to help tighten face. I received ultherapy couple weeks ago but would like to to do another type of procedure to help results and skin texture that has very little downtime.

Ultherapy helps to tighten skin and lift skin deep down so it helps with lifting the brow, the jawline and neckline primarily.  If you're looking the improve the surface of the skin, such as pores and brown spots, then a no downtime superficial chemical peel (would need 3-6 depending on skin type) would be a good option or you could have a fractionated CO2 laser however, most people to get a good result would need about 7 days downtime.  Another great option is microneedling.  It improves acne scars, fine lines, texture and gives tightening over 4-6 sessions without any downtime and can be done in the summer.  Fillers are always a great option to use with ultherapy because most people have loose skin and volume loss at the same time.  A combination of any of these therapies, depending on the way your aging, can be great.

Combination treatment is the best way to get the most spectacular results when it comes to nonsurgical cosmetic procedures. Ultherapy will do a wonderful job of tightening and lifting your face, and is the only device FDA cleared for a nonsurgical lift of the brow and neck skin. You can choose from a number of lasers to resurface and smooth out your skin, stimulate more collagen and elastin production, and tighten your skin further. I have published extensively on this and did a retrospective study where we combined IPL with Ultherapy and another one where I combined IPL ultherapy and Fractionated CO2. There are many choices you could have, depending on your needs. We offer more than 50 lasers and light therapies at our center. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist who has a wide variety of effective resurfacing and tightening modalities will give you plenty of options to get a noticeable but natural rejuvenation.

We specialize in combination treatments both on the skin tightening, resurfacing and laser modalities as well as injectables.Non-surgical combination treatments are the most effective for wow results and highly impactful patient outcomes. Ultherapy in combination with Sublative Fractional RF laser for skin tone, texture and tightening is great, especially in combination with toxin injections like Botox, Dysport or Xeomin and fillers like Juvederm, Radiesse or Restylane.Since Ulthera takes up to six months for results to bloom, doing resurfacing procedures in combination such as microneedling, chemical peels or lasers is instant gratification.  Using at home regimen such as Sente' and Skin Medica products will make measurable improvements as well.Hope this helps.  Good luck.

Hello,In our office we have seen great results when Ultherapy is coupled with 1540 non-ablative fraxel laser resurfacing.  Fractional Laser skin resurfacing uses laser energy microbeams on many different skin types to dramatically improve skin. It works on challenging scars, fine lines and ‘rough’ texture to create smoother, healthier, younger looking skin.  The fraxel laser heats up the skin to stimulate collagen and further compliment your Ultherapy procedure as they work synergistically together to tighten skin.  We also use a repair kit by Neocutis which has growth factors to expedite the healing process and maximize collagen production.Good Luck!

There are a variety of options for you, at the very least some type of laser or skin resurfacing/microneedling procedure will help you achieve the best outcomes. Pictures would help to further detail exactly what would be best for you.

Hello and thank you for your question! Ultherapy combined with some type of skin resurfacing is a great treatment plan! Ultherapy helps to tighten and lift the deeper tissues and a laser or RF resurfacing will help improve texture, elasticity, color, etc. We really like the Venus Viva for improvements in skin texture, tone and tightening with less downtime than fractional laser treatments. There is about 3-4 days downtime, but only needing to hide out for 2-3 of those, whereas traditional fractional lasers will require 5-7 days downtime. Venus viva is intense enough that you will get you definitely get changes from 2-3 treatments.Best, Dr. Grant Stevens

Thank you for your question.  Radiesse is a great compliment to ultherapy treatment.  This will improve facial volume and give a more youthful look.  Hope this helps!

We use two protocols in our office for Ultherapy for patients who do not want surgery.  The first treatment is to combine is in the upper face with Botox / Xeomin, and in the lower face with fillers such as Voluma or Radiesse.  It works very well.The other is our multi-treatment program, where we will do 3 round of Ultherpay, in 3 consecutive months, then every 6 months thereafter for maintenance.  This also works very well.  By itself, Ultherapy is not as impressive (although it's a terrific non-surgical tool) as it is if we use it as I've described above.

Thanks for your question. Consider PICO Genesis treatments to address your concerns. This non invasive laser facial will address uneven pigment, restore radiance to the skin, and build collagen to improve your surface texture concerns-all without any significant downtime! Importantly, it is safe for all skin types (from fair to dark). 2 or 3 sessions is best though improvement is seen with each one. 
Best,
