Does ultherapy hurt? Most patients who have opted for ultherapy wonder if the procedure will hurt. Anxiety is a major deciding factor for people who choose to undergo any surgical cosmetic rejuvenation procedure, whether surgical or non-surgical. It is quite common for patients to delay getting a required cosmetic treatment just out of fear that it will be too expensive or not effective or even for the fact that people around may judge them for it. More than these fears is the fear of discomfort and pain from the procedure. Here are a few things you can expect from your ultherapy procedure. What is ultherapy? As we age, the natural production of collagen in our body decreases and the quality of new collagen diminishes as well. This leaves you with skin that is lax and sagging in addition to wrinkles. Several factors contribute to how early these symptoms appear like your genetics, lifestyle and environmental factors. Ultherapy is one of the latest technologies for the promotion and protection of collagen production. This treatment uses FDA approved ultrasound energy to lift, tighten and tone the skin of your face, neck and décolletage without the need of a surgery or downtime. There will be slight discomfort with the procedure since anytime there is a change in your body, there is bound to be some discomfort. What does Ultherapy feel like? An ultrasound gel is used on your skin before the treatment which will feel cool on the skin. The ultherapy handpiece is then used on the targeted areas which delivers the ultrasound energy. Most patients have reported feeling a deep pulsating vibration during their treatment. There are others who feel warmth or a sensation of tiny shocks. Everybody feels a different level of discomfort but most patients have found the treatment tolerable while some have spoken of moderate pain. Surgeons will usually give you 600 to 800 mg Motrin about an hour before you go in for your treatment. Depending on the areas which are targeted with the treatment, it takes about 45 to 90 minutes. How is your recovery? There is no downtime with Ultherapy and some patients may experience some redness, swelling, tingling or sensitivity for a few days. Some patients have also noticed some numbness and bruising.
