Facial & Neck Laxity

1. 1. Discomfort during treatment (more noticeable during deep Ultherapy® targeting; topical anesthesia and oral analgesics are available); 2. Temporary redness and swelling (common, resolving within 24–72 hours); 3. Occasional superficial burns or blistering (rare under our physician’s protocol, typically associated with excessive energy or incorrect targeting); 4. Transient sensory nerve changes (mandibular branch area, usually resolving within 4–8 weeks; extremely rare); 5. Results below expectation (most common in volume-loss patients, requiring re-evaluation).

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, facial implants or metal wires, cardiac pacemakers (contraindicated for certain radiofrequency devices), active facial infection or dermatitis, severe keloid tendency that has not been assessed, active autoimmune disease, or unrealistic expectations (believing one treatment can take 20 years off) — in these situations, our physician will recommend deferring treatment or selecting an alternative approach.

Thread lifts: swelling for 24–72 hours, mild bruising, and rare thread migration or surface irregularities — risks significantly reduced when a physician personally controls placement and tension. Injectables: bruising, injection-site discomfort, and extremely rare but serious vascular events — which is precisely why we insist that all injectable treatments must be performed by the physician personally the core reason why a physician must be present — to immediately recognize and manage any vascular signs.

Every client is required to sign an informed consent form prior to treatment, covering: the treatment mechanism, possible adverse reactions and their likelihood, alternative options, criteria for discontinuing treatment, follow-up arrangements, and an optional Media Release.
