After Ultherapy procedure, what things shouldn't I do?

A great aspect of Ultherapy is that there is generally no real downtime following the procedure. As such, there are no real restrictions on what you can and can’t do right after the procedure because usually there is just a little swelling. It’s a good idea to avoid strenuous exercise and hot saunas simply because the increased blood flow to your head may increase the risk of moderate swelling and more bruising, but it will not affect your results.

Ultherapy is an excellent procedure with excellent results. I would consider taking Vitamin C and using Sculptra to complement the Ultherapy. There are minimal activity restrictions after Ultherapy. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

The advantage to Ultherapy is that the treatment is minimally invasive and patients can return to their normal activities after the procedure.  The only reason your provider may want you to avoid hot yoga or saunas post Ultherapy is that it may cause you to have more swelling.Here is what I recommend to my patients after Ultherapy: 1. Avoid the routine use of anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, naproxen and Celebrex for one month. The inflammatory response in your tissue from Ultherapy works in a positive way to stimulate collagen fiber formation and remodeling 2. If you are not already on a medically oriented skin care program, you may want to discuss this with your provider at the time of your treatment. Topical prescription skin products can help to stimulate collagen fiber formation through direct action with growth factors and through exfoliation to resurface skin. Medical skin care combined with treatments like Ultherapy can maximize the results you obtain and help to maintain the results. 3. Take 1000 mg Vitamin C daily.  Vitamin C has a necessary role in collagen synthesis Good Luck!

After Ultheray you are able to resume your
normal activities right way, and there are no specific measures you must
take. It is not uncommon to experience
slight swelling for a few days afterwards.  It is therefore recommended to avoid strenuous activities to limit excessive swelling.

After ultherapy the only restriction is driving as you likely will have been given medications that alter how you feel.  Exercise etc can be done but you may get more swollen.  There is no downtime.  Best, Dr. Emer.
