How Soon After Ultherapy Can One Start Jogging/exercising Again?

Although Ultherapy is non-invasive and does not require any needles, we often do suggest oral medication to help make the procedure a little bit more tolerable. Our patients look as if nothing has happened after an Ultherapy procedure, however we suggest waiting a day or two to resume physical activity, once all medicated effects have worn off.

You should be able to resume your usual activities immediately following Utherapy. You may notice a little more swelling brought on by strenuous exercise, but generally there are no restrictions on your post-procedure activities. Consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to see if Ultherapy is right for you and what activities are appropriate for you based on your general health and well being. Some physicians will prescribe narcotic pain meds for the ultherapy procedure. If that is the case with you, be sure to ask your doctor when it is safe to resume your usual activities.

if your body feels up to it, there is no reason why you couldn't exercise the day after Ulthera.  If however, there is some swelling of your face, or tingling, then you can expect those sympotms to increase right after exercise, so you may wish to wait for that to appear less prior to exercising. Most people can exercise the next day.

The most important thing is to listen to your body! The actual ultherapy procedure typically causes minimal to no downtime. I had mine at 9 in the morning and was back at work by 11. Some patients are more comfortable during the procedure if they take anti-anxiety medication and pain pills. These medications can "wipe you out" until the next day so you'll want to take it easy if you are premedicated. If a nerve block is performed, you may get bruising. If bruising occurs, I recommend avoiding exercise for a day, applying ice, and covering with makeup. If the procedure causes discomfort or tightness, reduce your exercise routine for a few days until you are more comfortable.

Ulthera is a non-invasive procedure that uses highly focused ultrasound to stimulate collagen regeneration under the skin for a lifting effect. There may be some minor soreness afterwards but it shouldn't prevent you from exercising. It may be a good idea to take a break for a day or two however.
