Got Ultherapy 2 weeks ago and I don't want anything to change. I want to heal the tissues faster. What do I do?

Question

Got Ultherapy 2 weeks ago and I'm still scared what will happen due to the reviews. I want to avoid any damage to tissue and I do not want my face to tighten.. What do I do? What supplements should I take? I am still extremely young (28) and feel tightness on my forehead and slight burning sensation on my neck. Other than that nothing hurts. Please please answer

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Ultherapy is designed to tighten the skin. Moreover, to speed up healing we suggest healing agents such as Arnica. I would suggest scheduling a follow up with the rendering physician. Best, Dr. Emer.

I'm sorry to ask this, but if you don't want your skin to tighten then why did you get the treatment? Ultherapy is a treatment to lift and tighten skin! You have already gotten the treatment, so going online and reading the reviews will not change your outcome. I would take the horror reviews with a grain of salt. We have been doing the treatment for 6 years now and have never experienced what you read online and most of our patients are really happy with their results. Ultherapy does work best when used in combination with other treatments. If you would like to know what you can do to optimize your results feel free to come in for a consultation and evaluation. Best wishes.

Hi and thank you for your question! If I'm not mistaken, you seem to be in a panic! Please don't and calm down. If you search online, you might find horror stories of things happening after Ultherapy, but you should take the vast majority of those stories by big grains of salt. Ultherapy has been extensively studied clinically and it is generally a safe treatment. The focused energy of Ultherapy is expected to stimulate your skin cells to make more collagen, contributing to skin tightening and rejuvenation. That is not expected to change or affect your skin in a negative way, and regardless, any changes will eventually be temporary and won't be lasting forever as our skin will continue to change as time passes. So at this time, a healthy routine with diet and activity would be best. Please do a follow up with your provider and ask them for assistance to address your concerns. I hope it helps and good luck!

I would recommend you stop reading reviews because they are causing you to worry. The treatment is done and you can’t  undo at this point. Have faith that you’re provider determined what you needed. Ultherapy Is  safe and effective treatment. Drink plenty of fluid, eat a  health you diet, consider Arnica as a natural supplement to help healing. Best of luck.
