Aftercare for Ulthera on Lower Face and Neck Yesterday?

I had ulthera done on my lower face and neck yesterday. I am just not sure about what I can and cannot do afterwards. Can I wash my face as I normally would? Cold or hot water? Can I work out? they didn't really give me much info after I left and I didn't think to ask until now. Can someone let me know? thanks very much.

Post treament care after Ulthera

The great thing about Ulthera is post treament is simple. You don't need to follow any specific guidelines. Use your normal skin care routine. Remember you might be slightly sore, so if your a guy be careful shaving. After you have recovered from the treatment you can workout or do any activities you want. Good luck and thanks for the question. Sincerely, Anire Okpaku MD

No down time after ultherapy

For most of our patients there are no restrictions of activity the day after ultherapy. You should check with your doctor, in case they used the 1.5mm deep transducer, which is the most superficial transducer. If they used many lines of this, you could potentially swell in a few areas and if there are localized swellings you might injure them with aggressive rubbing with a towel or washcloth, so it's best to avoid use of such items. see video

Ulthera Aftercare

Thank you for your question. Since Ulthera is a completely non-invasive treatment, you do not need to follow a post-treatment regimen. You can resume your normal activities as you usually would.

Aftercare following Ulthera is NOTHING

After having Ulthera, there is no need to do anything special. It is recommended not to use steroids or other anti-inflammatories, but this has yet to be proved to be detrimental to your results (its theoretic). That's the beauty of Ulthera, no downtime, no aftercare! Please see my video too. see video

Aftercare for Ultherapy

There is no significant aftercare. You can wash your face normally. If there is any bruising from local injections, make sure to wear sunblock and do not tan over a bruise. Otherwise, you can resume your normal activities right away.

Ultherapy after care

Nothing is required, you can do everything you normally do. Because the sound waves are focused in the deeper tissues there is no injury to the epidermis and no epidermal care is usually required. I hope this helps!
