If You Did Not Bruise/swell Much After Ultherapy, Will Results Be As Good?

There is no correlation between the development of bruising and swelling after Ultherapy and the degree of improvement to be expected.  Although both can occur, the onset of each is highly variable and not linked to the clinical result.

Bruising is not an indicator of success with the procedure.  We customize the treatment to accentuate collagen formation in the areas of fascial laxity.  Bruising is sometimes seen near the jowls. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

Whether or not someone bruises with Ultherapy is not an indication of potential results. Some patients will bruise because they take a lot of blood thinning supplements. Others will bruise and swell simply because they have skin that reacts to heat more strongly.

You still might see some bruising even after 2 days as the treatment focal depth is quite deep in the skin.

The ultrasound energy depth is predetermined by the system and the "tip" that is used. The 4.5 mm is the one that reaches most deeply with a 3 mm and optional 1.5 mm that address more superficial levels and skin texture.
