Can You Use Ulthera on Stomach Area?

Question

Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

Although the Ultherapy is not FDA-cleared for body treatment, physicians are allowed to utilize devices, off-label, but the physician should discuss the risks with the patient. There are different studies that have been done on other parts of the body, and in the future, there might be increased sites for which the company might seek FDA clearance.

Richard Baxter, MD · Answer

The FDA clearance for Ultherapy is for noninvasive facial skin lifting, but there is no theoretical reason why it would not work on other body areas. We have used it for arms, thighs, and abdomen but there is little experience overall to say how well it works and who is the best candidate for the treatment. Stay tuned for more info as results of studies become available.

Ultherapy on the stomach is not FDA cleared and honestly would be a very expensive endeavor. There are other treatments that can be used to tighten the skin on the abdominal wall.

Cameron Rokhsar, MD, FAAD · Answer

the use of ulthera is currently under investigation.  We have just finished a study on the elbows which the FDA will evaluate.  Other centers are evaluating other body parts.  Stay tuned!  For now limit it to face neck and eyebrow lifts.

Daniel Shapiro, MD · Answer

Ultherapy is FDA-approved. It is commonly used on areas of the face and neck to address sagging of the eyelids, brow, cheeks, chin and jawline. It can also improve marionette lines and folds and a downturned mouth. However, it is not approved for use on the stomach area.
