Answer: What should I do to prepare for Ultherapy treatment? Hello! Thank you for your question! The recommendations for the use of these homeopathic medications are surgeon preference. I typically suggest the use of Arnica Montana to decrease swelling and bruising. It is an herbal medication that is propagated from the seeds of an herb. I, as well as my patients, have seen some benefit with the treatment in the postoperative period. Although there is little evidence to its effectiveness, I believe there is some benefit, and no harm. I recommend 4-5 tablets under the tongue 4x/day for 3-5 days prior and 5-7 days after the procedure. Hope that this helps! Best wishes!

Answer: Preoperative care for Ultherapy I have been doing Ultherapy since 2011 and have done hundreds of patients I give them a liquid oral dose of ibuprofen when they check in (half hour before procedure) and give them a second 400 mg dose just before I start. I recommend a product called Swell-X, a bioflavonoid formula, to be taken for a week after the procedure. I recommend that they take ibuprofen for 24 hours following the procedure.

Answer: Prep Requirements for Ultherapy Treatments? You know, I had the same question when starting to provide Ultherapy treatments. For decades now, I have told my patients to stay away from non-steroidals (ie, Motrin, Advil, Ibuprofen, Aleve, etc) when they are having "open" surgical procedures. I found it quite interesting that Ultherapy trainers recommend these drugs around the time of treatments. In our experience, there are levels of treatment as to how aggressive one wants to be with the specific therapy. Average treatments will normally not have any bruising. More aggressive treatments, may have some transient bruising ( lasting a week or less) but these patients have usually had the most dramatic results!We discuss these issues with our patients before their treatment and let them make this decision.
