Ultherapy™ - Related FAQ's
Q: Will I have pain after ultherapy?A: Pain is rare but can occur and should go away on its own if it occurs. Tenderness to the touch is common for some time but is mild and self-limited.
Q: Why can one practice charge less or more than another for Ultherapy?
A: There are different needs for each patient depending on the amount of lifting needed, the amount of different facial or neck areas needed, the amount of transducers used, the amount of lines delivered, etc. Some practices try to entice patients into the office by mentioning a minimum price for a small area not making it clear that a full face or face and neck treatment is much more.
Q: I had multiple dental implants. Can I still have Ultherapy?
A: Yes, the ultrasound energy should not develop the implants.
Q: I had Ultherapy to lift my face last week and I have an appointment to get fillers in my cheeks tomorrow. Is this safe?
A: Doing fillers after ultherapy is not a problem. There are questions about the effect ultherapy would have on fillers if the fillers were done before.
Q: Can I go into a sauna the day after Ultherapy?
A: There is no evidence that a hot sauna would interfere with results from Ultherapy so you should be able to enjoy it safely.
Q: Can I exercise after ultherapy?
A: Provided there is no unusual swelling then exercise is no problem the day after ultherapy. One might develop some swelling but this is not common.
Q: Does Ultherapy help with wrinkles, or only lifting?
A: The only wrinkles that Ultherapy would help minimize are those that are a result of the sagging skin above the fold. Once the skin above the wrinkle lifts, then the crease improves. Wrinkles that are in the skin from sun damage, and are visible whether the skin is at rest, or stretched, will not improve after ultherapy.
Q: When I come in to your practice for Ultherapy, will a nurse do it?
A: No, our facial ultherapy treatments are done by a doctor in the New York Aesthetic Consultants, LLP. Dr. Shelton finds that he tailors treatment to each patient individually.
