I felt what seemed like shock waves going through my head during ultherapy to lift my brows. Is this a normal side effect?

Hi, I had this procedure done this morning and it felt what seemed like a lot of shock waves through my head at the time of the procedure. I am wondering if this is normal? I'm a bit concerned. Are there any side effects from the brow lift using ultherapy that I need to be concerned with due to the unusual feelings during the procedure?
