Should I be concerned about the ripple side effects of Ultherapy and hard bumps on the cheeks?

November 12, 2016
Asked By:Goldy7 in Los Angeles, CA

I received ultherapy and also experienced ripple effect on one side and hard bumps on the other. She told me to apply heat, not cold. Will these side effects affect the outcome? I was not told to be still and we conversed and laughed throughout the treatment. It's been 2 days and has gotten a little better. Thanks!
