Pain and Tenderness Normal 6 Weeks After Ultherapy to Face?

It is very normal to experience slight tenderness,
mild swelling and erythema in the treated areas post procedure. The ultrasound
therapy targets the deeper underlying tissue, stimulating collagen production
which can make one sore and tender. This is a non-invasive procedure that
naturally produces an inflammatory response. This can last from a few days up
to several weeks post procedure. If one is experiencing symptoms that persist
after 2 months we suggest you see the provider who performed your treatment.

I have seen tenderness in patients for up to 2 months post Ultherapy.
For the first few weeks they can feel this sensation when moving or talking and
it can be an intense sensation to touch, similar to muscle soreness after an
intense workout. This should not affect the ability to talk, eat or do any
other daily activities. The tenderness to touch can continue for up to two
months in some patients. This has varying intensities, as well. There are patients
who don’t have as much. Males seem to have less tenderness & it resolves
much quicker, likely because of thicker skin, and in patients with more adipose
tissue in the area treated. Tenderness is an expected and normal side effect of
Ultherapy. If your sensitivity continues for longer than 2 months or its accompanied
by any other symptoms, please see the provider who treated you.
