How Long is the Recovery from Ulthera?

There is no downtime with Ulthera.I have done the procedure since 2011 in hundreds of patients. I have also had the procedure myself.Take ibuprofen for 24 hours and Swell-X as a bioflavonoids to reduce swelling and inflammation. Read the Ultherapy book provided on the link below under ebooks. 

I have found that patients do the best with either local anesthetic or none at all since the protocol change that reduced the intensity of the treatment.  Therefore, I don't give my patients sedatives or oral pain medications.  Most patients are appreciative of this because they can drive themselves or take the train home after the procedure.  Most patients' faces are pink or slightly red, almost like you have spent the afternoon in the sun, which resolves in about an hour.  Otherwise you can put on makeup right away and return to your normal activities!
