Ulthera Anesthesia

Misunderstanding of Ulthera

Ulthera and Anesthesia

Sunken Cheeks? Peanut-Shaped Face?

Hello,

Non-surgical contouring is state of art!! 

This is a dermatologist, Dr.Filler.

Ulthera is one of the widely 

used ultrasonic lifting devices!

When my patients come to

me and get Ulthera,

they often get afraid and ask me 

whether Ulthera hurts a lot and whether 

Ulthera needs general anesthesia.

May people get nervous until the last minute.

When it starts, they say “It feels okay!”

Some people even say they don’t 

feel anything at all, and realize they

 don’t need a general anesthesia.

When the heat slowly accumulates,

the patients may feel a slight tingling.

Although many people are afraid,

 Ulthera doesn’t feel that painful.

When someone ask me whether Ulthera 

needs general anesthesia to prevent any pain,

I answer “At least, Ulthera is 

okay without general anesthesia”

About 90% of my patients didn’t feel

pain at all and some only said 

it hurt a little bit still bearable.

I even use Ulthera at the maxim length

and maximum energy, which is twice

higher than the energy recommended

by Ulthera company. 

When patients still feel painful, 

I use the energy level recommended 

by Ulthera company.

There is no difference between

Ulthera and Shurink pain.

Some even say Shurink

hurts more than Ulthera.

Although a lot of people get general 

anesthesia for Ulthera, general 

anesthesia may cause side effects.

I personally get gastroscopy

without anesthesia.

I don’t want to face the risk of general

anesthesia and I don’t want to

bring another person to take care of me. 

To do general anesthesia, you have to

empty your stomach because

there is a risk of bringing up 

food to throat and lungs. 

To be safe, some general anesthesia 

last up to 8 hours. That’s too long 

for a simple treatment.

The scariest thing is that your

oxygen saturation may

drop during general anesthesia.

That happens but it’s still critical.

I also want to point out that

almost all lifting treatments

involve risk of burns.

People who got serious burns after

lifting mostly were mostly 

under general anesthesia.

This is because patients

can’t say anything.

When the heat accumulates on 

certain area, patients can tell me. 

So, I move to the other areas

first and come back after it cools down.

I can’t do that when 

patients are asleep.

This results in increasing 

the risk of burns.

Human body feels pain in 

order to protect the body.

You also have to get a 

taxi after general anesthesia.

It’s hard to use public

transportation and you 

should never drive home.  

It’s similar to drunk driving.

Our brain can’t function 

properly with a few drops of alcohol

and brain gets slow when you are 

half awake after general anesthesia.

So, you shouldn’t drive.  

When you do Ulthera 

without general anesthesia,

you can meet friends and 

eat food and desserts 

right before Ulthera.  

You can also say immediately

 when it feels hot or painful.

After Ulthera, you can drive

 home without feeling drowsy at all.

It’s much simpler.

I am not sure whether 

I will change my thoughts or not

but I believe pain of Ulthera can be

controlled without general 

anesthesia or narcotic analgesic.

Of course, you still need 

numbing cream to make

Ulthera painless. 

I do more than just 

numbing cream for patients.

I have a tip for using

Ulthera device painlessly. 

I keep it a secret to myself.

Some people think getting

more Ulthera is always better,

but that’s not true at all.

When it comes to filler, 

I use minimum dosage of filler 

only when it’s necessary.

I believe Ulthera should be 

used only on necessary area 

with adequate amount of dosage.

I don’t use Ulthera excessively.

Getting too many shots eventually 

increases the risk of side effects, 

such as swelling, pain, and sunken cheeks, 

Number of shots is not directly

related to better effects.

Treating other areas is

meaningless. You need 

to target precisely.

It’s waste of energy.

You only need numbing ointment to

get the best Ulthera results without any pain!

I always pursue efficient 

Ulthera and the optimal Ulthera results.

Are you concerned about

 slim face and sunken cheeks?

Ulthera makes your 

cheeks look more voluminous!

It also reduces nasolabial 

folds and sunken cheeks. 

Does Ulthera cause a

 peanut-shaped face?

Ulthera may turn normal 

face into a peanut-shape face

but Ulthera on jawline actually

 reduces peanut-shaped face 

and its effect often lasts 

longer than one year.

If you are reluctant about Ulthera 

because of pain, general

 anesthesia, inconvenience,

or side effects such as sunken 

cheeks, take a courage 

and try Ulthera.

This was a dermatologist, 

Dr.Filler. Thank you!!
