Not on any medication. I have just the blood markers for sjogrens. I have no symptoms. Is ulthera safe
Answer: Ultherapy should be done in a physician's office by a doctor or physician extender Ultherapy uses high intensity focused ultrasound energy and focuses the energy at 4.5 mm at the deepest level as visualized by B mode imaging. It will not effect deeper structures like salivary nodes or parotid glands. Make sure the Ultherapy procedure is being done by a physician or physician assistant under the supervision of a physician in a doctor's office.

Answer: Ultherapy and Sjogrens Thanks for your question. I think the most accurate answer is simply we don't know. While the depth of penetration should not affect your salivary glands, there is an association between sjogrens and scleroderma; if there are any scleroderma features to your process then I would actually be very concerned that ulthera could potentially cause some harm. There may be a few specialists who have detailed enough knowledge of these disease processes to make a more educated guess, but is unlikely they would have much experience with Ulthera. It is a tough question and tough situation for you, but I hope this helps.

Answer: Ultherapy Hello. Ultherapy utilizes focused Ultrasound,penetrating the skin to a maximum dept of 4.5 mm, so this will not affect salivary glands or tearducts. Please feel free to see your local dermatologist to ensure that you are a candidate for this procedure.Best of luck.

Answer: Ultherapy Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to tighten collagen and lift the skin. It will have no effect on the salivary glands or tear production, so is safe in a patient with laboratory values consistent with Sjogren's syndrome.
