Asked By:adae1 in Saint Louis, MO

After my restylane tear trough injections 5 weeks ago, the left eye showed significant bruising and swelling. Around week 3 this healed and swelling receded considerably. Thinking the timing was safe, I got Ultherapy 3 days ago above brows and crows feet and under eyes. The bruising and swelling came back instantly, with more swelling than before. Have been icing, and using arnica. Please help! The pics are from yesterday, and swelling is a little worse today.

What are the electric shocks from in Ultherapy?
Jeffrey B. Wise, MD, FACS says:

Ultherapy uses a focused ultra sound to penetrate the deeper layers of skin. The treatment can feel like little shocks deep in the skin. This is the energy being delivered. These mild heat injuries stimulate the body's response to make collagen that create a tightening effect.Best of luck!

Will my skin return to its original state after Ultherapy?
Eric Humble, MD says:

Thank you for your question! Ultherapy will give you a rejuvenating, fresh look but you also have to keep in mind that every day, you are still aging. Using medical grade skin products, staying out of the sun or always wearing SPF, and keeping hydrated will slow down the aging process.
