Berkshire Aesthetics is a doctor-led, CQC-registered aesthetic clinic in Maidenhead. All treatments begin with a consultation to assess suitability, medical history, risks and realistic outcomes.
Who is not suitable for Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is not suitable for everyone. It is generally not recommended for patients with significant skin laxity better addressed surgically, active infection or open wounds in the treatment area, pregnancy or breastfeeding, metallic implants in the planned treatment zone, or unrealistic expectations of immediate dramatic change. Suitability is decided in a doctor-led consultation, where alternatives or surgical referral can be discussed.

When this may not be suitable
- You have advanced skin laxity that would respond better to surgical lifting.

- You expect an immediate, surgical-level lift from a non-surgical treatment.

Related questions
Can I have Ultherapy if I am pregnant?
No. Ultherapy is generally not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding and is deferred until later.
Does advanced laxity rule out Ultherapy?
In many cases yes, because advanced laxity is better addressed surgically. A consultation provides an honest assessment.
Are metallic implants a contraindication?
Metallic implants in the planned treatment zone are usually a contraindication. Tell your clinician about all implants at consultation.
