Is around 300-350 lines Ultherapy for face and neck too much?

Question

I had ultherapy done at a doctor's office. He told me he did 150-175 lines on each side of the face (can't remember exactly), from lower lash line down to neck. The whole session took maybe 20 minutes, maybe more or less. Is this too much? Im experiencing some negative side effects and I dont understand why. Could the technique have been wrong? Also, my face already looks thinner and it hasnt been 2 months yet. Is this normal due to tightening? Or is it too early and Im having negative changes?

The technique and expertise of the practitioner has a lot to do with getting the best results. I always recommend seeing an expert in these types of treatments. Ultherapy is a great device, but works best in combination with other treatments like lasers, RF treatments, microneedling/PRP or sculptra to get increased collagen, tightening and improve skin tone.  I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Every patient's face is different therefore will vary in the number of lines needed for Ultherapy. The number you received could be completely appropriate. It can be very normal for your face to appear thinner as the collagen tightening creates a lifted appearance. I would recommend making a follow up appointment with your provider to discuss any side effects you are experiencing. Best of luck!
