Is It Safe To Do Ultherapy One year Later?

many patients are benefitting by repeat Ultherapy a year after the first treatment.  There can be a beneficial addtional amount of collagen production from the second treatment. Furthermore, the protocol of treatment has changed greatly in the last year. More lines of treatment energy are being laid down, and with the newer 1.5 mm. depth of energy in the new superficial transducer, more planes of heating can be accomplished.  In addition, the areas such as the forehead, that don't allow the 4.5 mm depth of heating to be used often, can now have the 3mm and the 1.5mm deep transducers.  Speak with your doctor to see how a repeat treatment can be beneficial.

Ultherapy is a safe treatment to repeat after one year. It takes from 3 to 6 months to see the most improvement from the procedure. After the 6 month mark it would be safe to repeat. You would not want to repeat the treatment before that time because you would not have seen the full effect yet. The ultrasound energy from this treatment has no permanent, adverse affects reported to date so there would be no harm in repeating the treatment.

Ultherapy is a fantastic FDA approved procedure for face and neck tightening with longevity of clinical benefits expected to last one to one and half year. Not only is there reversal of muscle laxity, there is also stimulation of collagen improving overall skin texture. To maintain clinical benefits of Ulthera, it is helpful to repeat treatment approximately 18 months later to provide additional boost of skin, facial and neck muscle tightening and collagen production.

There is no risk to repeating the Ulthera treatment that is different than the first time, and the effect could build on the first one. Starting young like you ware will also postpone the need for more invasive procedures later too.

Hi and thank you for your questions. The collagen
stimulation from Ultherapy continues for 6 months, so it isn’t necessary to
repeat a treatment before then.However,
it is completely safe to do so, should you desire. I have had a few patients
preparing for a big event or birthday who were so thrilled with the effects
from the first treatment that they insisted on a second treatment at 4-5 months
to get all possible improvements as quickly as possible. These patients
continued to be even more satisfied and excited about the changes.We are always sure to educate all patients
that they will continue to improve from each treatment throughout those 180
days. Overall, we leave the decision up to the patients dependent on their
individual needs, results and budget. I feel an ideal plan would be a second
treatment after 12-18 months and evaluate. Every patient is unique, will have
varying results, and ages at different rates. One person may be fine with one
treatment every three years and the next may be ready after 1-2 years. I find
my patients are so happy to have such an effective, non-surgical skin lifting
option that they plan on coming back yearly to maximize the benefits and
improvements. Our extensively trained NP & PA’s customize each treatment
for each individual patient. We offer complementary consultations, as well.
