Direct answer
Tell the treating clinic where the altered sensation is, when it began and whether it is worsening. Do not assume that time alone will resolve it; pain, expression changes and skin injury should also be assessed.
Before your consultation
- Why describe the type of discomfort precisely?
- Can I mark the affected area on a face diagram?
- Does pain relief mean I can skip review?
General information, not a personal diagnosis or treatment plan. Suitability, risks and recovery require an individual consultation.
Why describe the type of discomfort precisely?
The ultrasound equipment safety literature emphasizes proper anatomic assessment and procedural planning. Tingling, dullness to the touch, and difficulty moving are different symptoms. Rather than using the average progress of the thesis as a personal recovery deadline, express your current feelings specifically and receive evaluation.

Can I mark the affected area on a face diagram?
It is helpful for consultation if you show the boundary of the dull treatment area and the difference between the left and right sides on a drawing or photo. Write down whether it is wider than before or whether it is felt only on certain facial expressions. It is best to avoid stimulating the area by continuously rubbing or pressing hard to check for sensation.
Does pain relief mean I can skip review?
Not all conditions are confirmed simply because pain is reduced. Use only prescribed or prescribed medications as directed, and contact us if symptoms persist or worsen. Recording the medications you take and when you take them will help staff interpret your progress.
Should new expression changes wait for a photo review?
If you notice any new facial asymmetry, functional discomfort, blisters, or skin damage, promptly notify the treating clinic to determine the need for direct evaluation. If accompanied by severe systemic symptoms, medical help should be sought immediately. It is not appropriate to wait until the scheduled follow-up photo appointment.
Should I keep another tightening appointment?
If any abnormal feelings remain, check the current progress before further treatment. Overlapping multiple treatments over a short period of time can make it difficult to determine the cause of changes. It is best to discuss the next procedure again considering the previous reaction and recovery.
What should I bring when travelling from Jungang-ro for review?
Please prepare the procedure date and symptom notes when returning from Daegu Jungang-ro to Dongseong-ro. The official Ultherapy PRIME guidance is general information, so you will need to consult a separate doctor to determine your own changes in sensation. Please inform us that your appointment is for symptom evaluation, not simply confirmation of effectiveness.
