I had Ultherapy almost 2 weeks ago and my skin quality has changed. Is this normal?

Question

My skin is dry and blotchy. My neck was super itchy for about a week and now it has moved up to my face a little on the left side. Is all if this normal?

Mark Beaty, MD · Answer

We do not commonly see itching and dryness after Ulthera treatment.  I would suggest following up with your treating physician to assess what this reaction may be from and how best to treat.  It may be a mild inflammatory response which will respond to skin care.

Thank you for the question. It is difficult to answer your question without examining you or seeing your photos. It is not normal to have this post Ultherapy treatment. It is best to follow up with your board certified doctor and discuss this. Good luck.

It sounds like your skin is reacting to the numbing cream used during the Ultherapy or a product used afterwards.  It is not a normal reaction I see from the Ultherapy.   I would consider using a good facial moisturizer and mild face wash.  If it does not improve I would see your treating provider.  I love Ultherapy and have my nurses perform a treatment on me every 1-1 1/2 years.  Hope this helps
