I am a potential customer. While there are success stories, there are many stories on Real Self and other forums about people dissatisfied with Ultherapy. Worse then that, there are multiple stories where this procedure permanently damaged a person’s appearance. While there will be a degree of dissatisfaction with any procedure done, this is concerning for a procedure with relatively low satisfaction rate that is expensive and can potentially negatively affect a person’s appearance permanently
Answer: Is Ultherapy worth it? Ultherapy is a great non-invasive skin tightening treatment when performed correctly. Certified Ultherapists are trained to see exactly where your collagen presents in the skin using ultrasound technology. This technology allows each pulse of energy to enter the collagen in a precise and pristine way. With that being said, you want to make sure your service provider is a certified Ultherapist. This ensures you are receiving a proper treatment, so you can feel confident that you will see amazing results. Also, keep in mind that you need to be the perfect candidate for Ulthera and have realistic expectations. Ultherapy works wonders for those suffering from mild to moderate signs of aging. Although it can treat severe signs of aging too, we want to be realistic. Depending on your laxity severity, this treatment may not replace a surgical face lift. It's important to first consult with your service provider to determine if you expectations will be reached using Ultherapy.

Answer: Are Ultherapy Results Worth It? Ultherapy can give good results when done in proper hands on the proper patients. Most of the bad results or no results that you see are in patients who should have never gotten the treatment in the first place. Many people are not good candidates for the treatment. At my practice about 30% of patients that come in wanting Ultherapy are not good candidates for the treatment and we recommend more appropriate treatments to them.

Answer: Ultherapy results--add lasers, RF, Sculptra, microneedling/prp, J Plasma, Nova threads I recommend seeing a board-certified doctor with experience using Ultherapy. Ultherapy is a great device for skin tightening, but a combination approach would gives the most improvement. I recommend Ultherapy with RF treatments, lasers, microneedling/PRP, J Plasma, nova threads or sculptra to get increased collagen, tightening and improve skin tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Ultherapy vs other machines Just to add to the previous comment, there is an increasing number of salons use HIFU machines and offer "Ultherapy" treatment. A lot of people received a HIFU treatment with adverse results but then blame Ultherapy as the only FDA approved procedure. Some Chinese machines look very similar and only checking authenticity with Merz protects you from number of complications.

Answer: Ultherapy results I agree with most of the comments below. Ultherapy is an excellent procedure when done by properly trained technicians AND done on the right patients. It is not an appropriate procedure for somebody who needs surgical lifting and tightening. When performed on people who need minimal to moderate tightening and when done with the correct number and depth of pulses, a large percentage of people in my practice see very good results.Studies show that Ultherapy does stimulate collagen production and muscle tightening. I believe it is a great procedure for people in their 40's - early 50's who are just starting to notice collagen loss. Ultherapy will put collagen in their "collagen bank", which is a wonderful thing!
