I have track mark and raised bump after Ultherapy, will it go away? (Photos)

Question

Last week I did ultherapy, i went home with redness swollen all over my neck, after 4 days the swollen start to disappear but left with the raised bump and track mark. The track mark is standing out and forming a line on the skin. Will it disappear by itself? What is inside the bump? My doctor gave a topical cream and claritin... is there anything that i can do to heal it faster?

Hopefully by now, the raised area has gone away or at least is starting to dissipate. The welting you are experiencing is common when the transducer loses contact with the skin. That could be the result of the clinician not positioning the transducer properly, not applying enough pressure when treating, or you could have simply flinched a bit and made it lose contact. That is a sensitive area to treat so it's normal for patients to experience "zingers" in that area causing the transducer to uncouple from the skin and welt. In most cases, it is better in a matter of hours but sometimes it can last a few days to a week. It's not permanent so don't fret.
