Side effects after Ultherapy
I have done 85 or so Ulthera cases so far and I have not seen any side effects other then very temporary redness (lasts about 1 hour) and rare, mild black and blue and temporary numbness in some areas treated. I have not seen any long term complications. The vast majority of patients have been happy with the treatment.

Welts are rare after ultherapy but should resolve quickly
Pressure can induce welts in some people and the ultrasound energy might induce heat near the surface of the skin if the contact gel is not fitting correctly for that one line that is being delivered. The localized swelling should dissipate within hours to a few days. Blisters should not occur. Contact your doctor for evaulation if they are present for a couple of days after the Ultherapy or if there is any blister formation.

Welts and Ultherapy
Welts are a possible side effect of Ultherapy and they resolve without problem. Fortunately, they are uncommon.
