Re: Ultherapy. I am a male (65 yrs) wanting Ultherapy. Should I avoid it in my neck area because of the thyroid gland?

Question

Are there any contradictions against ultherapy in neck area or else?

Robert Heck, MD, FACS · Answer

ULtherapy is approved for treatment on the face, neck and chest. An experienced provider will advise you on the areas they can not treat (around some nerve areas and over the trachea) but rest assured the neck is an area of ultherapy we treat all the time. Best of luck.

Laurie A. Casas, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question.  Ultherapy is a great non-invasive, non-surgical skin tightening treatment.  You can have your neck treated, and your provider should know they should not treat over your thyroid gland.  We usually recommend treating the submental and neck area for the best results (under the chin and neck area). We also recommend pre and post treating with Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar for an enhanced result!

Dear Thomas,It is nice to see that patients are motivated to do Ultherapy, which is still my go-to treatment of choice for non-surgical skin lifting of the face, neck and decolletage. It is safe and commonly performed for the neck. Your physician should know to avoid the area where the thyroid gland sits, which is about 2/3rds down from the centre of the midline of the neck. One can opt for a threadlift or even Botox of the neck "bands" too about 4 weeks after Ulthera, should you require additional rejuvenation of the area. I hope this helps you!
