I've read a great deal online including here on Realself about ultherapy gone very wrong. Realself worth it rates low at 65%. I'm confused why I read so many doctors suggesting it yet so many patients review bad things to their faces! I am week 10 post 2cool sculpt mini sessions and don't see results. Many doctors say to do ultherapy but I'm scared 1) disfigurement from ultherapy 2) loss of more money on procedure that does not work. I'd really appreciate some doctors insight and advice please.
Answer: The Truth About Ultherapy I have been using Ultherapy for over 5 years now, and it can be a great non-surgical skin tightening option when used appropriately. The problem is that many physicians oversell the treatment and what it can do, leaving patient's with unrealistic expectations of the results. Too many people are being treated that are not suitable candidates and for this reason you are seeing all the negative reviews. The truth is that Ultherapy works best as a prevention and maintenance tool for those individuals with mild skin laxity, typically in their late 20's to early 40's. It almost always needs to be used in combination with other treatments for optimal results. The reason you did not see any improvement after CoolMini is probably because your issue is mostly a loose skin one and not because of excess submental fat. To see a benefit from Ultherapy you would likely need at least 2 treatments spread 3-6 months apart. This would not be my first choice for you. I think you would be better off with a treatment like ThermiTight which is far more effective for those with moderate skin laxity. I don't think PDO threads will give you a very dramatic improvement. Make sure you see an experienced provider for an in-person consultation and evaluation. Choose someone who has multiple treatment options available and not just a one-trick pony. Hope this helps answer your question. Best wishes.

Answer: Ultherapy facts--add lasers, RF, Sculptra, microneedling/prp No, if used appropriately, ultherapy should not cause problems. Keep in mind, a combination approach would give the most improvement. 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
