Here are some tips on how to prepare for Ultherapy: Schedule a consultation: The first step in preparing for Ultherapy is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Rokhsar to assess your skin, address your concerns, and determine if you are a good candidate for Ultherapy. Stop blood-thinning medications: If you are taking medications that thin your blood, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or blood thinners, stop taking them a few days before your Ultherapy treatment to reduce the risk of bruising. If you are unsure about which medications to discontinue, speak to Dr. Rokhsar or any member of our medical staff. If you can not stop your blood thinners, it is still ok to do the procedure. You may just have a higher chance of getting bruising. Avoid harsh skincare products: Three days before your Ultherapy procedure, avoid using topical products containing isotretinoin (e.g. Retin-A, Renova, etc.), glycolic acid, or salicylic acid, as they can irritate the skin. Also, remove makeup and other skincare products from the target areas before arriving at your appointment. Maintain regular routines: You can maintain your regular eating, drinking, exercise, and work routines before and immediately after the Ultherapy procedure. There is no need for any special preparation for Ultherapy.
