I had face ultherapy 6 weeks ago. I received narcotics as well as aesthetics injections before the procedure. I am experiencing facial pain and tenderness on both side of my face. Is this temporary? why pain after 5 weeks? Any nerve damages? thank you in advance for your help.
Answer: Tenderness 6 weeks after Ultherapy
It can be normal to experience tenderness even a tingling sensation for several weeks. It is usually temporary. Energy produced by Ulthera (ultrasound) can effect the deeper layers of skin to stimulate collagen making you tender and sore. This also means you are still healing/recovering and that Ultherapy is working. If you feel you are having complications or an adverse reaction to Ultherapy call your doctor.

Answer: Pain after Ultherapy
Each patient experiences some level of discomfort after an Ultherapy treatment. Swelling, tenderness, bruising, and mild pain may last anywhere from a week to 8 weeks. Keep in mind, these reactions should not interfere with the ability perform your daily routine. If your pain is more than a mild discomfort, you should contact the office where you had the Ultherapy treatment and ask to speak with the doctor.

Answer: Sensitivity or pain after ultherapy
Most patients feel comfortable after Ultherapy but there is a mild tenderness. There is inflammation which is what produces new collagen and this will cause some slight discomfort when touched, and does not mean that there is nerve damage. Please see your doctor, though, to be evaluated. Whatever symptoms you are experiencing, they should resolve soon on their own.

Answer: It is normal... 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.

Answer: Tenderness after Ultherapy 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.
