Can Ultherapy be used on stomach and love handles? (Photo)

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

You would waste your money having Ultherapy to reduce abdominal or flank fat. CoolSculpting, SculpSure and Liposuction are the treatments to consider to reduce fat if you are a suitable candidate.Ultherapy works well for the right patient to tighten loose skin on their face and neck/chest. Some other body sites too can undergo Ultherapy such as the crepy skin above the knees and abdomen, but not for fat reduction.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's answer is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute medical advice.  The information provided should not be relied upon as a substitute for consultations with a qualified health professional who may be familiar with your individual medical needs.

Ultherapy can be used for mild skin laxity on the body. However, the treatment is costly and the results mild. There are better options out there. You may want to consider something like Thermi. Make sure you see an experienced physician provider for an in-person consultation and evaluation. Best wishes.

In general, fat reduction with either liposuction or a fat reduction device such as VanquishME® is advised before skin tightening with radiofrequency.

Ultherapy wouldn't be ideal for your goal. I would recommend going in for a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to best evaluate the laxity of your skin. At that point, the surgeon will be able to determine which non-invasive treatment is ideal.
