Is Ultherapy painful?

During Ultherapy treatment, some patients may experience discomfort, such as tingling, warmth, or temporary prickling sensations. However, the level of pain varies among individuals and can be managed with pain medication or topical anesthesia if necessary. Your provider will take measures to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. If you have concerns about pain, discuss them with your provider during your consultation so that appropriate measures can be taken to minimize any discomfort during the treatment.

How many appointments will I need?

The number of appointments required for Ultherapy treatment typically depends on factors such as your individual goals, the area being treated, and the severity of your concerns.

Your provider will discuss realistic expectations and the anticipated timeline for results during your consultation.

Can I combine Ultherapy with other procedures?

Of course! Combining Ultherapy with other methods is possible, depending on your individual goals and treatment plan. Common combinations include combining Ultherapy with injectable treatments like BOTOX or Dermal Fillers to enhance overall facial rejuvenation. It’s essential to consult with our providers to determine the most suitable combination of treatments for your specific needs. They will evaluate your goals, medical history, and the condition of your skin to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to achieve optimal results.

Ultherapy First Step

What’s The First Step?

The first step in undergoing Ultherapy in the greater Los Angeles, Pasadena, and Arcadia areas is to schedule a consultation with our qualified provider here at Premier Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa. During this initial appointment, you will have the opportunity to discuss your aesthetic goals, concerns, and medical history with our provider.

They will evaluate your skin laxity and determine if Ultherapy is the right treatment option for you. If Ultherapy is recommended, the provider will explain the procedure in detail, including what to expect before, during, and after the treatment. They will also answer any questions you may have and provide personalized recommendations based on your unique needs and desired outcomes.

What to Expect on the Day of Ultherapy Treatment

On the day of your Ultherapy treatment at our boutique practice in Arcadia, you’ll experience a carefully orchestrated process designed to ensure your comfort. Upon arrival, your skin will be cleansed, preparing it for the procedure.

Following this, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area, ensuring minimal discomfort during the procedure. Once the numbing cream has taken effect, the Ultherapy treatment will commence, employing ultrasound energy to target specific areas of your skin. While you may feel some sensations during the procedure, it should not be painful. Depending on the treatment plan, the procedure typically lasts around 60-90 minutes.

While immediate results may be noticeable, the full effects of Ultherapy will develop gradually over the following weeks and months as your skin undergoes rejuvenation.

Ultherapy Recovery

After undergoing Ultherapy, our Los Angeles & Arcadia patients can expect minimal to no downtime. You may experience some redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated areas immediately following the procedure, but these side effects typically resolve within a few hours to a few days. It is common for patients to resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment, as there are no restrictions on physical activity or skincare routines.

Results from Ultherapy gradually improve over the following weeks and months as the body’s natural collagen production is stimulated, leading to firmer, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
