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: 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.

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:
