Are There Any Disfiguring Side Effects, Other then Temporary Welts, from Utherapy?

There may be redness for a very limited time after the procedure, such as 20 minutes to one hour, slight swelling that will go away within hours to little more than a day. Welts are rare but should be self limited.  Nerve sensitiviity and weakness, when rarely occurred, has been noted to spontaneously improve before many months. Nothing is risk free, but Ultherapy has proven to have a high safety profile.

Ultherapy relies on use of focused ultrasounf energy to cause deeper tissue tightening and elevation of area of soft tissue on the face, brow, and neck.  Other than mild to moderate discomfort during treatment, there are no documeneted long term effects from this very safe, minimally invasive treatment

Ulthera is a noninvasive skin lifting procedure that uses highly focused ultrasound energy delivered with precision to layers under the skin that are collagen dense. We have been using it for more than a year and haven't seen any lasting adverse effects. A few patients have had some localized swelling that resolves quickly.
