Is Ultherapy painful? Tips to manage discomfort

Ultherapy is generally well-tolerated, but some people may experience mild to moderate discomfort during the procedure. The sensation is often described as a tingling, prickling, or slight burning feeling, especially when the ultrasound energy reaches deeper layers of the skin.

Is Ultherapy Painful?
- Mild to Moderate Pain: Most people feel some level of discomfort, especially around sensitive areas like the jawline or forehead.
- Pain Duration: The sensation usually only lasts while the energy is being delivered. Once the session is over, pain typically subsides quickly.
- Pain Threshold Varies: People with lower pain thresholds may feel more discomfort.

Tips to Manage Ultherapy Discomfort
1. Pre-treatment Pain Relief – Take over-the-counter pain relievers (like Panadol or Ibuprofen) about 30–60 minutes before your appointment (with doctor approval).
2. Stay Relaxed – Anxiety can heighten pain sensitivity. Deep breathing and staying calm can help manage discomfort.
