Can someone who has rosacea undergo an ultherapy treatment?

Yes, those with rosacea can still undergo Ultherapy treatments. Ulthera is a non-ablative procedure that most Rosacea patients can undergo.

It is safe to undergo Ultherapy treatment, even with an underlying diagnosis of rosacea. It's mechanism of action will not adversely affect rosacea or cause a flare-up.

We have done Ultherapy on multiple rosacea patients with little or no effect on their rosacea.  Initially, there may be some swelling for a day or so, but after the treatment the rosacea is the same as it was before.  Ultherapy is one of my favorite treatments and great because it is so easily tolerated.  Good luck!

The redness from the rosacea is from superficial vessels.  The ulthera is working at a deeper level and should not affect these.  Some people get a little red from the Ulthera which resolves in a day or two.  Intense Pulsed LIght treatments work very well to help decrease the redness from the rosacea.    

Hi B,We have treated multiple rosacea patients with Ultherapy.  It is completely safe, and in many cases the patients rosacea is lightened.  There is a noticeable difference in skin color and quality after most Ultherapy face treatments.  It will not make rosacea symptoms worse. Good luck and be well.Dr. P 

Yes, it's perfectly fine for someone with rosacea to undergo Ultherapy treatment. After treatment, you might experience some additional redness and tingling, but these are only temporary side effects.

Yes, skin affected by rosacea sees the same results from Ultherapy treatments and is safe to have administered to them. 

It is very interesting to me that treatments such as Ultherapy and Thermage that are based on warming the lower levels of the skin to induce tightening can also improve conditions such as acne and rosacea.  I would like my patients to have their skin disease under control with standard medical treatment before undergoing elective cosmetic procedures but I have definitely seen long term improvements in these conditions after tightening procedures.

We also have treated rosacea patients with Ultherapy. Initially there is more redness (erythema) but as time goes on, there is a youthfulness to the skin of the face following Ultherapy that is desired for in most patients. 

Ultherapy is an ultrasound treatment that essentially bypasses the skin to treat the deeper layers. There is however a newer and more superficial treatment head for Ultherapy that seeks to improve fine lines, and which may (theoretically) temporarily aggrevate rosacea by increasing blood flow. Check with your doctor regarding your particular case.
