I am determined to keep my skin as flawless as possible for a long time. I plan on doing Ulthera, botox and fillers, laser resurfacing, but I don't know in which order I should have them. For instance, if I have fillers first, is there any chance that Ulthera and laser resurfacing will destroy the recently injected fillers? Or, if I have botox, first, is there any chance that laser will nullify the positive effects of botox? Thanks a lot
Answer: Botox to relax muscles, Ultherapy to lift and Fillers to fill
I like to relax the musculature first with Botox cosmetic injections, preferably a week or two before, but even one day before is fine. The Botox is bound immediately and there is no evidence of which I'm aware that Ultherapy a day later would interfere with Botox's effect. In this way, after Botox, the Ultherapy's effect of collagen production and lifting can occur in a smoother environment with less active contraction of muscles and pleating of overlying skin. After Ultherapy I then do fillers, both for volume such as Sculptra or Radiesse and layered with more superficial fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm or Belotero.

Answer: Ulthera before Botox and fillers
Ulthera takes some time to see the full effect, and you would not want to treat directly over fillers so it makes sense to do it first. Also, depending on how much lifting is achieved, it could affect the amount and placement of fillers. Botox could be done soon after but best not before.

Answer: Order of Treatments
Thank you for your question. I would receive Ulthera before all other treatments, to ensure it does not disrupt the results of Botox and fillers. I would also suggest receiving laser resurfacing before Botox and fillers.

Answer: Sequencing of Ultherapy, laser and injectables
Ultherapy first and then any laser resurfacing should be done before Botox and fillers.
The heat from Ultherapy and laser resurfacing can interfere with Botox and fillers. The exception to the wait for fillers would be if you were having Sculptra, which works quite well immediately post Utherapy and can be done in the same treatment session.
As far as time between treatments, that can get pretty complicated. It depends on the type of laser resurfacing and the kind of filler.
For instance, in our practice we recommend our eMatrix patients wait a month for fillers or Botox and other relaxers.
You might look at it as a "permanent 1st" and then "temporary 2nd" treatment sequence. Since treatments that alter the skin tissues themselves rely on heat, and the heat-induced subsequent deep tissue inflammation (the desired kind) takes time to subside, temporary cosmetic treatments including fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, Botox or Dysport will integrate better when the dermal tissues have had time to recover.

Answer: Ultherapy, Botox and fillers followed by laser resurfacing I like the order that you have specified in your question because it addressed the issues from deep to superficial layers, addressing laxity, then volume and finally surface contouring. Read my Ultherapy ebook provided on the link below.
