If Ultherapy Gives Less Than Satisfactory Results, Could It Work if Done a Second Time?

Thank you for your question. Generally, patients are satisfied with results after their first treatment. However, the results are not instant. Depending on how long ago you got your treatment, your final results may not yet be evident. Once final results are evident, a second treatment could help if you are not satisfied.

At this time, there have not been any studies published on the effectiveness of two or more Ultherapy treatments. But it is possible that Ultherapy could be performed a second time. This is an option especially if a facelift or other surgery is not an option for you.

it is possible that the first Ultherapy you had got the basic collagen production started and some tightening of the SMAS connective tissue layer occurred but the bad sun damage or the inelastic skin sagging did not reveal a clnical lift.  The next ulthera may improve the tightening enough to show the improvement dramatically. Unfortunately, some patients, especially those with inelastic skin from bad sundamge, smoking, etc. are not expected to get as good a result and they may only get improvement with a facelift.
