Nerve feeling shock sensation 3 days post HIFU, is it normal?

Question

Hi,i did a HIFU treatment 4days ago (not ulthera machine) and while i was in the procedure i felt like my face was electrocuted twice.. one on my left cheek and one on my right eyebrow.. now everytime i touch that part i feel like a shockwave (tightness) in my nerve all the way to my scalp.. but i don't feel pain though.. just some numbness effect after i touched it.. is this going to be permanent?? I did 150shots and im also worried about this procedure going to make my face muscles drop.. Help

It sounds like you are experiencing some nerve hypersensitivity - this commonly happens after these types of procedures and it is due to the nerves being "over excited". Typically, these type of sensations resolve with time alone but it can take months. I would communicate and follow up with your provider regarding the sensations that you are feeling. Good Luck!
