I am considering ulthera. Provider I talked has RN perform the procedure. Is it OK, or should I look for practice where procedure is done by MD? Thanks!

Answer: MD can delegate Ultherapy treatment to qualified medical professional
The regulations about delgating Ulthera treatment by the supervising MD vary by state, but it is perfectly appropriate in most places. What is important is to make sure that both the MD responsible and the person doing the treatment, usually an RN or PA, is well-trained. I would guess that like Thermage, non-ablative lasers, and IPL, most Ulthera treatments are done by someone other than an MD.
