Is this normal?
Generally speaking, bruising after Ultherapy is rare. However, if it occurs, it is most likely related to pressure applied to the hand-piece and will most likely resolve in the next week or two.
Swelling and bruising after Ultherapy is a common side effect. Though most patients will see this subside after a few days, it can last for up to several weeks. Topical apple cider vinegar, Arnica gel and/or oral Arnica Montana can also be used to help expedite the healing process of a bruise. If you have not seen any improvement after two weeks, call your dermatologist to schedule a follow up appointment.
