Can Have Ultherapy Done Under my Chin and Neck if I've Had Cystic Acne Before?

July 13, 2013
Asked By:loves2dance007 in Orange County, CA

I have had a few flair ups in 2 specific locations on my chin before of cystic acne where my dermatologist gave me a cortisone shot to clear it up. It happens if I'm under a lot of stress and hasn't occurred in almost a year. I'm concerned that since my body has had a history of it that Ultherapy would "awaken" it in other areas and that would be awful under my chin or jawline. I'm of East Indian skin tone and color so scaring/hyper pigmentation from chin/neck lipo is a concern.
