Will taking prednisone decrease ulthera's ability to lay down new collagen?

alexisstar
2 weeks ago I had the ulthera procedure on face and around eyes. Yesterday, due to a back ailment, my ortho doc just prescribed prednisone for 2 weeks. I'm worried that taking this medication will stop the collagen formation I paid a lot of money for. What is your professional opinion? Thanks for all you do!
