Ultherapy® is a popular non-surgical treatment known for its skin-lifting and tightening effects. However, the duration of these results can vary among individuals. Typically, the benefits of Ultherapy® can last between one to three years after the full results emerge, which is usually within six to ten months post-treatment. Several factors can influence the longevity of Ultherapy® results, including:
Factors Influencing Ultherapy® Results
Age
As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity, which can affect how long Ultherapy® results last.
Genetics
Genetic factors play a significant role in skin aging and response to treatments like Ultherapy®.
Environmental Exposure
Exposure to environmental factors such as UV radiation, pollution, and lifestyle habits can impact the longevity of Ultherapy® results.
Rate of Aging
Each individual’s rate of aging varies, influencing how long the skin-lifting effects of Ultherapy® are maintained.
Intensity of Treatment
The depth and intensity of the Ultherapy® treatment can also determine how long the results will last.
Maintenance and Repeat Treatments
When the aesthetic benefits of Ultherapy® gradually begin to fade over time, Dr. Matthew White, a published expert on Ultherapy®, may recommend another customized treatment session. Typically, Ultherapy® treatments are repeated every two years on average to stimulate the production of new collagen and maintain results.
Enhancing Ultherapy® Results
In addition to Ultherapy®, Dr. White may suggest combining other treatments to achieve more comprehensive rejuvenation. These treatments can include:
- Wrinkle Relaxers: Injectables like Botox can help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
- Dermal Fillers: Fillers can restore volume and enhance facial contours.
- Fat Injections: Fat grafting can add volume to areas that have lost fullness.
- Laser Skin Resurfacing: This treatment can improve skin texture and tone.
Considering Surgical Options
As aging progresses, there may come a time when non-surgical treatments are no longer sufficient to achieve desired results. At this point, facial plastic surgery options may be considered to provide more dramatic and long-lasting improvement.
