Received treatment today, now skin is bumpy, also long streaking like welts lined up on forehead and left cheek (Photo)

Question

Asking what to donow, is second time, nothing like this showed on my face. What can I do now? Something to get ripples and bumps gonaway? Had it at same place, but today I had to wait before it started. Standing, I was largely ignored

Peter N. Butler, MD, FACS · Answer

Your temporary swelling and ripples are likely due to the depth of transducer used.  With the most superficial treatment (the 1.5mm depth) there is a chance of marks on the skin. They typically go away within 48 hours. I hope this helps.  If you have further concerns your Ultherapist should be able to ease your concerns.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I recommend following up with your Doctor about after care. Keep in mind, ultherapy results are gradual and can be asymmetrical at first. A combination approach would give the most improvement with Ultherapy. I recommend Ultherapy with RF treatments, lasers, 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
