Can I Take a Steroid Medicine (Methyprednisolone) After Ulthera?

Giselle_9
I got ultherapy 2 weeks ago. After that I got severe neck problems, I had took Ibruprofen now and then with no help. So, my doctor told me to use steroid medicine (Methyprednisolone 4mg) for my neck problems ( for 7 days ). I've heard it will reduce the effectiveness of ulthera. Is it true? Should I avoid using it for a good result from ulthera (I can try to go back to Ibrupofen if it is better for ulthera).
