Ultherapy and recently quit smoking, will I benefit from this procedure?

DaleCooper45Sep 2, 2018
First off, thank you so much to all you doctors taking the time for questions. Anyways, I'm having ultherapy done on my chin and neck next week. I was a long time smoker until a little more than a month ago. Will I still benefit from this treatment? I've always heard that smoking stops collegen production. Will the ultherapy crank it up? Do I need to wait longer before having it done? I'm just a bit nervous about spending the money and getting minimal if any results.

Dysport® injections are great for smoothing and lifting neck bands. Ultherapy® is great for this purpose as well, and both are even better when done in combination. Please consult a board certified aesthetic dermatologist for a consultation.

Your temporary swelling and ripples are likely due to the depth of transducer used.  With the most superficial treatment (the 1.5mm depth) there is a chance of marks on the skin. They typically go away within 48 hours. I hope this helps.  If you have further concerns your Ultherapist should be a...
