Ultherapy™ - Related FAQ's
Q: My neck is not fat but the skin is hanging and seems to get worse as the years go by. If I don't want surgery, can liposuction or Ulthera help?A: Liposuction probably won't produce the best result without fat removal. Ulthera, ultrasound energy, non-invasive, can produce significant elevation / tightening in some patients. There is minimal down time but expect up to six months to see improvement and the improvement is not expected to be the same as a neck lift. The treatment can be repeated after six to twelve months for improvement.
Q: I just had Juvederm injected in my cheeks a few months ago. My doctor is investigating a sinus problem that I had for many years before I ever had Juvederm and wants me to have a CT scan. Will that be a problem in that I now have had Juvederm injected.
A: No, the radiologist will have no difficulty reading the films of the CT scan because of the Juvederm.
Q: I have a lot of cellulite on my thighs. Will Ulthera help that?
A: Ulthera has not been cleared for such a use by the FDA but clinicians could use it to try to improve the cellulite but now that Ultherapy has been on the market for about one year, there is no proof of this device to help cellulite, but it might. It also could make it worse, no one could guarantee otherwise until a study is done.
Q: I want to undergo Botox of my chin as I usually do, but now I am thinking of Ultherapy. I hope the Ulthera will tighten my face and lift my jowls. Can I do it after the Botox?
A: Ulthera is done on the face but some areas, such as the chin, are avoided. Therefore there is no problem having the Botox injected into your chin prior to the Ulthera. If other sites of Botox would happen to be in the location of Ulthera therapy, then the Ulthera should be done first, or wait six to twelve months before doing Ulthera after Botox.
