How Long Does It Take to See Ulthera Results?

Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology to deliver low levels of focused heat to the tissues immediately underneath the skin. Your body responds to this thermal energy by stimulating the growth of new collagen.  Some patients report seeing an immediate result, but that is a combination of the body’s response to the heat energy, as well as some associated mild swelling. The regenerative process is initiated immediately, but the full effects of the treatment gradually occur over the next 2-3 months, with the ultimate results taking shape around 3-6 months. Good luck to you! Hope this helps.

Ulthera is a nonsurgical treatment FDA cleared to  lift and tighten tissue to the face, neck and décolleté.  The treatment stimulates the body’s own collagen synthesis and results are observed gradually.  Optimal results are typically seen approximately 4-6 months post treatment.  Obtaining three dimensional photos before and after treatment offers the patient and provider an excellent tool to measure progress objectively.  Treatment by a highly trained provider as well as appropriate patient selection are imperative for optimal outcomes.

If you are a good candidate and proper technique was used, you should see some result in 3 months.  Do not expect a result like facelift because it is not meant to be.

Thank you for the question. After your Ultherapy Treatment, you may see some initial results, but the ultimate results will take place over 2-3 months, as your body naturally regenerates collagen. Since the procedure stimulates your own collagen production, how long the results last really depends on you. Results can last 1.5-2 years and you can help maintain your more youthful look by scheduling a touch-up Ultherapy treatment on an annual basis.

My patients begin to see improvement usually in the first month.  However, changes will continue with improvement for up to 6 months.

Hello,

Thank you for your question. It usually takes 3-6 months to see full results. The Ulthera treatment stimulates collagen growth. It will grow your collagen for a full 6 months! Most people start to see results in 3 months,  but they have full results in 6. Good luck!
