When Can Ultherapy Treatment Be Repeated? Weeks, Months?

Hello.  Our office recommends about 6 months to repeat the ultherapy treatment.  Depends on the office you went to, you can ask  your physician or technician.  We offer a repetitive treatment after 6 months.

Ultherapy works by triggering the body's natural collagen production and repair. This process is progressive and make take up to 3-6months to see the full results of Ultherapy. Depending on the patient's desired outcomes, a second treatment may be performed at 6 months or in 1-2 years.

Either to build on a prior treatment of to maintain the good results, Ultherapy may be repeated six to twelve months later, or more.  There is a continued aging effect that can negate the positive improvement Ulthera provides so repeat treatment makes sense, but the effects can last longer in some people than others.

I have done Ultherapy since 2011 and have performed hundreds of procedures. I am seeing return patients 3 years after their first tretment who have requested 'touch up' or maintenance treatment with Ultherapy.There is no need to repeat the procedure before 6 months after the first session. Read the Ultherapy ebook provided on the link below. 

The collagen stimulation from Ultherapy continues for 6
months, so it isn’t necessary to repeat a treatment before then. However, it is 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.

Thank you for your question. Ultherapy is an excellent option for skin tightening and rejuvenation, and does generally last for a year's time. So, I would suggest repeating the treatment annually to retain results.

It will take three to four months to see the full results of Ultherapy after the initial treatment. So you should wait a minimum of the three to four months before retreating.

The earliest time I would retreat some one after the initial treatment is 6 months after the original treatment in a patient that has sever skin sagging and wrinkling that may need a more aggressive initial approach. For a person  that has had a good response to the original treatment depending on age and quality of skin I would offer an annual or bi-annually treatments to maintain the bodies response for restimulating collagen production and counter act the continues againg process. 

 

Good luck

The answer is yes.  In fact, we think the best use of Ultherapy is an annual treatment to help stimulate the regrowth of collagen that was lost over the previous year.  We are so excited about this idea, that we have reduced the price markedly to encourage our guests to consider the idea of prevention before rather than treatment after.  Our price for lower face Ultherpay is $2500, our price for lower face Annual Maintenance Ultherapy is $499.  

Hi beate5563,

With regards to your question, I am wondering if you have had the treatment already or just asking how often it needs to be repeated?  If it is the former, I will tell patients to wait 3-4 months to see the full effect as some individuals respond quicker and some slower.  We can always administer more treatment lines if more tightening is desired and possible.

However, if it is the latter, an Ultherapy treatment can last about a year or so depending on ones response and anatomy in most individuals. I have had the Ultherapy machine for about a year and a half now and have started to see patients coming in for their second treatment because they have been very happy with their response and they want to maintain their result. Some have chosen to undergo the procedure before it has been a full year and some afterwards.

Best,

Dr. H
