Yes, I have double checked with the scientific advisor of Ulthera, and as there is no deeper penetration than 4.5 millimeters with Ultheapy, as long as the Ultherapy is being done on the front of the neck there should be no problem with the metal plate on the cervical spine. Certainly, no one should treat the back of the neck (off-label) as that would be too close to your plate.
Ultherapy maximal depth of energy penetration is 4.5 mm where ultrasound energy is focused. It is not likely that the energy will go deeper as the device is high frequency and the energy will be attenuated and absorbed quickly at those depths.

Because the penetration of the energy is only 4.5mm deep, the plates will not be a factor. You can safely have the procedure. Steve Weiner, Destin,FL
The plates are likely on the spinal column, which is much deeper than the deepest area of treatment reached by the ulthera device (4.5 mm). Of course, you should pursue a consultation with a Facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and confirm this, but it shouldn't be a problem.

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...
Thank you for your question. Botox can help with the smile lines, but I is important to define where the lines are. Some patients refer to the crows feet (outer eye skin) as smile lines and Botox is very effective here. Some refer to the nasolabial folds as the smile lines. Fillers are much...
Although treatment of the upper lip is not discussed in Ulthera's protocol, physicians are allowed to utilize equipment for other protocols at times with certain devices. Some physicians are using the smaller infraorbital transducer for treatment of the cutaneous upper lip...
