Will Ulthera Intensify/worsen People with Rosacea?

Ultherapy works well in collagen rich skin such as those patients with rosacea.  Our office tends to customize Ulthera treatments based on skin type and fascial laxity. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

There have been no studies to support that Ultherapy worsens rosacea.  Ultherapy penetrates much deeper than the vessels responsible for the redness seen in rosacea.  If one has rosacea, it is possible to notice some transient flushing after treatment, but this is typically temporary.

Although there is no direct cause and effect with Ultherapy causing rosacea, anyone who has rosacea can have a flare at different times in their life. Sometimes triggers are well known to that person and other times the patient is not aware as to what brings on flushing or new blemishes.  Stress is one trigger for many people and having Ultherapy can be stress from the fear of the unknown, the discomfort or other reasons.

I have not had a patient of which I am aware whose Rosacea flared after Ultherapy, but I can not imagine if one did, that it would take long to reverse itself provided the patient used their rosacea medicine.
