PATIENT QUESTION
How long does Ultherapy last?
SHORT ANSWER
Ultherapy results usually last about 12 months, sometimes up to 18. The lift develops over 2–3 months as new collagen forms, then slowly fades with natural ageing. Annual maintenance keeps results steady.
Dr. Yang Jung-hwa, MD — board-certified dermatologist, Seoul National University
The detail
Longevity depends on age, skin thickness, sun exposure, weight stability and the line count used. Younger patients with good collagen often hold results longer.
Combining Ultherapy with Thermage FLX or collagen boosters can extend the result.
