I received an Ultherapy treatment Friday, the pain was indescribable and I normally have a high pain tolerance. Toward the end of the first transducer she stated it was overheating and due to my pain we wod discontinue and she would have the unit called for service. I know am left with these burn lines all over. I called the provider and she said totally normal which I have yet to read anywhere that is correct. Any feedback would be helpful.
I had ulthera done on my lower face and neck yesterday. I am just not sure about what I can and cannot do afterwards. Can I wash my face as I normally would? Cold or hot water? Can I work out? they didn't really give me much info after I left and I didn't think to ask until now. Can someone let me know? thanks very much.
My right side is definitely way more swollen than my left. When I smile my cheekbones raise so much and are protruding out. I haven't had any fillers, only Botox 2 months ago for forehead/glabella and crows. I'm wondering if when the swelling goes down (which I'm praying it's all temporary swelling) that my right lower lid area is going to be more tightened than my left (L side has less swelling)? My eyes have always had mild/low moderate hollowness d/t genetics.
The redness is gone but they are pretty raised and look and feel like knots. If this is normal how long with it stay that way? I was told there is no recovery time and hat everything would look normal except for possibly some bruising. I have significant bruises on my cheeks as well.
I had ultherapy on lower face and neck yesterday. In the evening I noticed swelling and used ice packs. I went to the gym this morning as usual and had a tough workout (about 18 hours post procedure). Tonight the swelling is the same or worse and bruises are appearing. I have now read strenuous exercise is contraindicated if there is swelling. I am also experiencing numbness. Have I doomed myself to extended swelling thanks to the exercise? Does it matter if I continue to exercise strenuously now?
I had a full-face Ulthera treatment yesterday. I developed welting in my cheek area after the treatment. The welts subsided a bit by this morning, but are still palpable. I had two passes for the treatment - the 1st pass was performed at a deep level, the 2nd pass was performed at a more superficial level. Does the more superficial pass have the potential to cause welting or is this indicative of a poorly executed treatment? If poorly executed, will the treatment still be effective? Thank you!
