Question

I have non active rheumatoid arthritis with anti ccp positive . I don't take any medication for it.I have very few symptoms like stifness,fatigue. I really want to try ultherapy. Is it safe ?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Yes, you can have ultherapy. Keep in mind, a combination approach is needed to get the most improvement with treatments like Ultherapy. I recommend Ultherapy with RF treatments, lasers, microneedling/PRP or sculptra to get increased collagen, tightening and improve skin tone.  I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Ultherapy is a focal collagen stimulating treatment that has no bearing on the systemic disease like rheumatoid arthritis. Its usually done on the face, neck and chest area. The treatment is very superficial to the joint itself even if it is performed at off label sites. Ultherapy doesn't induce any systemic inflammation. Good luck.
