I would wait six months after Accutane before doing Ultherapy although there is no proven cause and effect of scarring with epidermal resurfacing (where the risk for scarring is greater from a lack of reepithelialization after Accutane). The Ultherapy targets the deep dermal collagen which may not be subject to poor healing from Accutane.
I think it would be very unwise to have Ultherapy while on Accutane. Although the depth of treatment with Ulthera is usually in the layer below the skin, it is not reasonable to take unnecessary risks.
Ultherapy should be avoided for 6 months after Accutane is discontinued. The population of patients that have acne (younger in general) and those that sign up for Ultherapy (a little older) don't cross over much. Read the Ultherapy ebook provided on the link below.

There is great variability of the amount of lift that each patient receives. We saw this also with Thermage for many years of using that treatment. Some would get a wonderful result and others would not get much of any tightening while most received a reasonable improvement. ...
Ultherapy can help lift facial sagging features without surgery by delivering focused ultrasound energy deeply and contract the supporting structures and induce collagen. Exilis is not focused ultrasound energy that can liquify the fat cells to reduce bulk fat so the two devices are not to...
As the Ultherapy provides deep ultrasound bypassing injury to the epidermis, the eczema should not be a cause for avoidance, unless there is a secondary bacterial infection from the eczema.
Ultherapy works by focused ultrasound energy which creates heat and stimulates collagen in the treatment area. If you've recently had Sculptra or other facial fillers, your physician would attempt to avoid these areas as the treatment could shrink or break down the injectable...
