What type and how often should Ultrasound Therapy be performed for post 5 weeks facelift hematoma residual effects? (photo)

December 2, 2016
Asked By:Anxious Nellie in Belle Valley, OH

I have chosen to seek Ultra Sound Therapy in addition to the heat & massage that I do daily. How many treatments would be average? The physical therapists has NOT dealt with this before. The final choice was to use the conservative method of intermittent pulse without heat. Since paying for this out of pocket, is this a hopeless effort or is this the correct method to alleviate this ridge. I believe the other options were consistent pulse without heat, or either pulse with heat.
