Ulthera Caused Spider Veins and Broken Capillaries?

L
LidiaCJan 15, 2013

I just did an Ultherapy treatment around my eyes, the doctor warned me it could bust capillaries and then she would treat them with Vbeam. However, I only notice spider veins broken on my eyelids, where she did not directly treat! Why has this happened!? Can v BEAM remove these broken capillaries or spider veins on my eyelids?

Ultherapy should not impact your implants, especially since the treatment should be limited to the sides of your face and neck, and not over your mouth. With the superficial handpiece that can be used over the lips, the energy is not directed deep enough to have any bearing on the implants. Be...
