Can I use cortisone cream on my skin after Ultherapy treatment?

Thank you for your question!  There should be no problem if you use cortisone cream on the area treated.  However, I do think it is best to follow up with your clinician as they will be more aware of your needs.  All the best!

Hi and thank you for your question! Generally speaking, inflammation is part of the body's normal reaction to Ultherapy and hence some recommend not icing the treated area to ensure body response is not attenuated. By the same token, use of a steroid can in theory undermine the body's response to the treatment.  This being said, I doubt using some 1% hydrocortisone cream on the surface of skin is going to have a significant effect on the results of the treatment and you can try it if the redness and itch bother you a lot. Always do a follow up with your clinicians as they are the ones with most accurate info and advice. I hope it helps and good luck!
