I had ultherapy done over 3 weeks ago on my face and neck. I had pink, red welts all over where the procedure was performed. The redness is gone but when you touch my face and neck you can feel the lines. and at certain angles you can see the lines on my face. Is this normal. I am 46 and have pretty good skin but they used 1500 lines on me which I feel is excessive.

Answer: Ultherapy/Side Effects/Tenderness/Lines/3 Weeks--Normal/Aftercare--Massage, RF Treatments/Venus Viva Exilis Without a picture, it's difficult to determine. Some tenderness is normal for a few weeks after ultherapy. I suggest massage and RF treatments like Venus Legacy or Exilis. Consult your Dr. if you remain concerned. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Welts and prolonged sensitivity There has been more and more data coming out that the more lines used, the more tightening (benefit) you get from Ultherapy. Most of the before/after photos used on Ultherapy advertising used 2-3x more lines than the recommended. Tenderness to touch lasting 3-4 weeks is not abnormal and a good sign. Not sure what you mean by being able to see the lines on your face from certain angles. In general, practitioners pay themselves per line for Ultherapy transducers. While 1500 lines sounds like a lot, I doubt they would use so many lines if they did not feel you would get great benefit from it.
