Ultherapy long term effects?

Question

I had Ultherapy done in April, 2014. I am 59 years old and now have developed a really bad case of acne. Could this be a side effect from the Ultherapy??

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

I do not believe the acne you are currently experiencing is related to the Ultherapy treatment you had last year.  I have not seen or heard of anyone having acne as a result of an Ultherapy procedure.  The acne is most likely due to another cause and consultation with a dermatologist would be recommended.

Hello, to date, there has not been any suggestion that Ultherapy causes adult onset acne. Perhaps you began to use heavier facial creams that could play a role in your acne. Please see your dermatologist to help treat this concern. best of luck.

I cannot imagine a scientific explanation for your acne that is related in any way to the Ulthera you received.  More likely is that you are experiencing hormonal related acne which is common in a woman's 40's.  I suggest you see a local Dermatologist who can help you resolve your problem.
