Is ulthera approved for use on all skin types and colors?

Can this procedure be used on people of color? All of the testimonials have been on lighter skin people.

Yes. It is radiofrequency, which produces heat to help tighten the skin, and it does not have anything to do with the lightness or darkness of the skin like a laser treatment would.

Yes, this can be done on all skin types. I have done Asians, Hispanics, Middle Eastern, Pacific Islanders, and a few Blacks with no issue. I would caution though for patients who have melasma, which is entirely a separate concern.
