What are the short and long term risks of Ultherapy?

Question

What are the short/long term risks of Ultherapy? Is there anything better/safer on the horizon that I should wait?

Deborah M. Longwill, DO · Answer

Dear Funny821300, Thank you for your question. Ultherapy is an FDA non-invasive procedure that uses a light intensity focused ultrasound energy to boost collagen production that will lift, tighten the skin and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Ultherapy can always work in perfect synergy with other treatments such as Microneedling and derma fillers for a complete anti-aging treatment. Hope this was helpful. Good luck

Thank you for your question.A combination approach would give the most improvement with Ultherapy for neck skin tightening. I recommend Ultherapy with radiofrequency treatments, lasers, microneedling/PRP, and/or Sculptra to get increased collagen, tightening and improved skin tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

The down side to ultherapy is that it usually doesn't do much at all and is a waste of money.  Nothing compares to morpheus8 which is the best anywhere.  Get it now and see the difference.

Short term risks are skin burn & nerve inflammation leading to problems with facial expression. Long terms risks are unintended loss of fat in the face & nerve damage leading to muscle paralysis. Visit a trusted practitioner in your area to know more about the treatment.
