Is it because they are using the settings too high? Or because the person is thin to begin with? Is it dangerous to stack lines? Will that create "bulk heating" that may overwhelm the face/body and cause damage? Is the tech to blame? The way a person heals? The settings on the machine? What are the training requirements to perform Ultherapy?
Answer: Fat Loss After Ultherapy The only way that you could get potential fat loss with Ultherapy is if the treatment was performed inappropriately at too deep a level. Usually those individuals with thin faces are at risk. Ultherapy is not a "plug and play" treatment. It requires knowledge of anatomy and interpretation of ultrasound images in order to get results. Don't trust your face to the lowest bidder and make sure you see an experienced provider.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Soft Tissue Changes Associated With Ultherapy In our clinic, Ultherapy is usually performed by an RN, who has completed the maximum level of training offered by Ulthera, and under the supervision of one of our surgeons. The Ultherapy machine is designed to allow the clinician to see and focus, in real time, the tissue targeted by the ultrasound energy, and, if this is done properly, the amount of subcutaneous fat loss in the face should be minimized. In fact, some of our patients wish there was more fat loss associated with this treatment. However, because Ultherapy does cause tightening and thickening of the overlying skin, as well as tightening of the underlying SMAS (submuscular aponeurotic system), two to three months after the treatment, it can give some small proportion of patients the perception that they have lost some fat in the face, although the reality is that this appearance is really the result of skin and soft tissue tightening. In the vast majority of the thousands of patients we have treated with Ultherapy, the changes they see in the skin and soft tissues of the face three months after the treatment represent a visible and welcome change in their overall facial aesthetics.

Answer: Ultherapy Myths Microfocused ultrasound should not cause fat loss if used appropriately and properly. It's always best to seen an expert in order to ensure best outcomes. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Ultherapy effect on fat Thanks for your question. The effect of Ultherapy on facial fat has been studied and is not significant. Two full days of live training are required (after completing preparatory materials), after which meetings are offered several times a year to continue to build skills. There is a video on realself which may be helpful to you- the link is provided below. It was made by a plastic surgeon out of California:

Answer: Ultrasound and fat loss It is quite reasonable to expect some fat loss from any device that generates sufficient energy to cause tissue injury meant to promote healing and collagen production. It is irrelevant what the source of the energy is be it light as in LASERs, Radiofrequency or Ultrasound. They are energy and they are directed at tissue to cause injury and promote collagen production which is how it works and does what it is meant to do ( which is why it hurts during treatment and there is some swelling after). Fat is soft tissue in its path and there will be fat cell death called CAVITATION. Ultrasound and RF have long been used to cause fat cavitation designed for non-surgical fat reduction and body contouring. There is always a price to pay for exposing tissue to an energy source. Some are desires and some are undesired. Ultrasound fat cavitation is usually desired on the torso and limbs but sometime undesired on the face. There is no such thing as a safe but effective treatment. It is designed to damage tissue so how can it be completely safe. also, comparing diagnostic ultrasound to high focused therapeutic US such as Ultherapy is a false and unsophisticated equivalency.
