As stated by Dr. Persky, MD, Persky Sunder Facial Plastic Surgery, Encino:
Points from the Video:
00: 06- Ultherapy works, and ultherapy hurts;
00: 25- A single pulse of ultherapy is like an electrical jolt;
01: 15- Xanax and Demerol to relax and relieve pain;
One of the sayings about ultherapy really on is ultherapy works, but yes, ultherapy hurts. Today, particularly in our practice, Persky Sunder Facial Plastic Surgery, we are very concerned about a patient’s comfort; If you feel a single pulse of ultherapy, it feels like a bit of an electrical jolt for a few seconds like a little fine height needle. It’s very tolerable if you have 1, 10, or 20 of those pulses. During the course of ultherapy treatment, we may give from a 500-1000 of those pulses. So what I usually recommend for our patients because I want them to be as comfortable as possible is to allow us to put in a little bit of local anaesthesia which makes the treatment very-very easy. There are some patients who have a higher tolerance for pain and don’t want local anaesthesia and they tolerate the procedure well, as well without anything, and then there are some patients who don’t want to feel a thing, and for those patients, we ask them to have someone drive them to the office and we give them xanax to relax them, and then, we also give them a weight proportional dose of Demerol which is a narcotic pain reliever, even though they may feel a little something, they feel so good from the Demerol that it doesn’t bother them and they get through the procedure with flying colors.
