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

Asked By:DaleCooper45 in Raleigh-Durham, NC

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.
