Aftercare for Ulthera on Lower Face and Neck Yesterday?

This is an excellent question. The beauty of Ultherapy is that there is no "down time" associated with the procedure which means you can go back to working out after the procedure. We do recommend that our patients stay out of the sun immediately following the procedure to reduce skin irritation; therefore, if you exercise outdoors, it's best to apply sunscreen to the treated areas. We allow our patients to wash with their normal facial cleansers using cold or warm water, but have them refrain from using products containing retinol, salicylic acid or any other abrasive product. These products may cause skin sensitivity after the treatment. We also have patients refrain from the use of ice or cold therapy as well as anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen. Slight swelling is a positive indication of collagenesis. It is always best to consult with your Ultherapy technician for post-procedure instructions. I hope your treatment went well & you love your result!

The best part about Ulthera is how low maintenance and non-invasive it can be; every patient leaves our office looking virtually untouched! Some slight bruising and tenderness may occur over certain parts of the face and neck (the neck is more susceptible to welting and redness) however this should not stop you from continuing your daily skincare regimen immediately after. Both cleansing the face as normal and wearing your daily makeup can be resumed almost immediately. I would wait to start any heavy physical activity and exercise until the following day, especially if medication was administered prior to the start of the Ultherapy treatment.

Thank you for your question.  The wonder thing about Ultherapy is that there is minimal post op care.  You can wash with anything, exercise, drive , go to work, and resume all social activities.  You may experience some tenderness and swelling for a few days but this will not prevent from doing anything.

For most of our patients there are no restrictions of activity the day after ultherapy.  You should check with your doctor, in case they used the 1.5mm deep transducer, which is the most superficial transducer. If they used many lines of this, you could potentially swell in a few areas and if there are localized swellings you might injure them with aggressive rubbing with a towel or washcloth, so it's best to avoid use of such items.

Ultherapy is an excellent non surgical face lifting procedure. It requires no downtime, allowing you to resume your normal activities. We recommend applying Alastin to the area for optimal healing. We recommend consulting with a board certified dermatologist for best results. Thank you for your question!

What’s great about Ultherapy, is that there is usually no down time. After an Ultherapy treatment, you can resume your normal routines. Keep in mind that you may experience some swelling or bruising, so it’s important to be gentle to your skin if you do experience those symptoms. 

There is no specific protocol post Ultherapy. This procedure is wonderful
in the fact that there is no downtime and you can resume most normal activity after
your treatment. We do suggest a minimum of 24 hours with no strenuous exercise to
minimize the possibility of bruising. You might experience subtle tenderness
and swelling post procedure, but that should not take you away from your normal
activities.

There is no downtime with Ultherapy. Resume all of your activities. Wash your face as usual and use Elevase cream as a cermaide booster for moisture retention and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun (as always). 

There are no specific aftercare instructions with Ultherapy,
except to avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours to minimize swelling and the
potential for bruising. Having no specific protocols or skin care recommendations
after Ultherapy, is just another one of the great aspects about this procedure.
The only thing I tell my patients, if they want to heal as quickly as possible,
is the option of using topical and oral arnica for swelling (if there even is
any) and for bruising if they are the rare patient that has this. Any patients
who have had resurfacing type lasers in the past are thrilled to hear there are
no ointments to use or peeling skin etc. to deal with.

Thank you for your question. Since Ulthera is a completely non-invasive treatment, you do not need to follow a post-treatment regimen. You can resume your normal activities as you usually would.
