Hi, While there are no studies looking at the long-term outcomes of Ultherapy, most physicians have reported that the results can last anywhere from 1-3 years before needing to re-treat in order to maintain results. The longevity of the results depends on your body’s ability to produce, maintain and breakdown collagen. As I tell all my patients, you will continue to age, but you will look better at 2 years after treatment than if you had not done anything at all. Hope this helps! Dr.Sunder
The duration of the effect that Ultherapy has on tightening and lifting is expected to be more than one year based on new collagen growth, not just tightening the connective tissue. It has not been studied long term to answer the question with precision. Similar to facelifts not lasting forever, because the skin continues to weaken over time, there might need to be retreatment but I would not expect this to be for at least one, if not, a few years.
