When would be the best time to do a nose job and start fraxel and pulsed dye laser after ulthera procedure?

Ashkan TehranJan 19, 2014
I am 31 yr old female and I had my ulthera yesterday. I have had fillers to cheeks, nasolabial folds, and botox about 6 months ago. I want to do a nose job and try Fraxel and Pulsed dye laser. The nurse told me I should wait for a month. I don't want to jeopardize my healing process for the ulthera. When would be the smartest time to start these procedures?

I do not know of any cases in which hair loss was associated with Ulthera treatments. Some tingling can occur but hair loss is not a known side effect of Ultherapy.

Ultherapy is not meant to "melt" facial fat away. It is used to lift and tighten areas of the face, not reduce fat.

Yes, you can experience a variety of minor side effects after Ultherapy, including swelling, redness and / or itching. My wife experienced some annoying, yet minor itching and focal areas of swelling within a few days of Ultherapy and I gave her a few days of prescription low dose oral...
