Swelling after Ultherapy

Ultherapy is an entirely non-invasive procedure and as such, there is no downtime. You are able to return to your normal activities right away, and there are no special measures you need to take.There may be slight redness for up to an hour or so following the treatment, and a small percentage of patients may have slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to touch, but these are mild and temporary in nature. Since your treatment was only yesterday, give these symptoms some time to subside.... more

Arnica may help reduce swelling after cosmetic surgery and cosmetic procedures such as ultherapy

The swelling and bruising from ultherapy is expected to go away. Some doctors recommend Arnica taken by mouth to reduce the potential of swelling and bruising from Ultherapy although this plant derivative does not guarantee that bruising won't occur and the swelling can still be significant. see video

Bruising and swelling in regards to Ultherapy

Ultherapy does not usually cause a lot of bruising and swelling. When it does, ice packs can help. Try to stay away from aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs for the first 3 days after Ultherapy, if there is swelling or bruising. Vitamin K cream can help bruising. Sleeping with your head elevated on two pillows can help with swelling.
