“So Far So Good - Los Angeles, CA”
I am a 49 year old man who is holding up pretty well. Very active, work out, eat right, bla, bla, bla. But my face was starting to slide and sag a bit. Ulthera appeared to be just the all in one solution I could handle. I tried fillers and botox. Having to return every few months for more painful shots was not working for me. (Let me mention that I bruised terribly from restylane) I was a bit... more
“Ultherpy Not Worth It and No Company...”
I think Ultherapy is a rip off - and I will blog and post about it - because the company does NOT stand behind the product and results. My 6 month follow-up last week at DMH Aesthetics in Los Angeles revealed NO results - the pictures do not lie. I was told how fabulous the results would be after 3 months - no results - then the logic was after 6 months - no results. The Ulthera Company... more
“Full Face and Neck 3 Months Ago and...”
OK, since I didn't want to take narcotics, I thought I could get by with just Ibuprofen for this procedure. I mean, how bad could it be, right? WRONG! It hurt like hell. However, Dr. Plechas was supercool, patient, and spent a lot of time on me! He clearly knows what he is doing. Dr. said it could take up to six months to see complete results, so I will try to be patient. I do... more
“Worth It! - Newport Beach, CA”
One time procedure - full face and neck. Saw immediate results in the cheek area. Even my skeptical husband said he saw changes in my face. Took our own pictures before and after so we could compare. After 1 month substantial lift in the upper eye, under eye and cheeks look great - much improved fuller, lower face - upper parentheses look much better; lower still in progress. Did not want... more
“Just Had Today - Los Angeles, CA”
I just had the procedure today after doing my online research and reading all of the comments here. First I'd like to say that I'm so glad people mentioned the pain here-because the recent article in VOGUE really played down if it was uncomfortable. Let me just say it was at times pretty brutal. They gave me 2 vicodin (1000 mg) and a Xanax and had me wait 30 minutes before starting.... more
“Much More Natural Than a Facelift -...”
The procedure was somewhat uncomfortable but easily tolerated. I chose Ulthera because I did not want to spend time recovering from a facelift and someone else's idea of who I should look like. I pretty much liked the way I looked ....just the saggy skin irked me! My results at age 70 were phenomenal...so much so that I rarely tell anyone how old I am! The nice part is that you... more
“Thrilled with Ulthera Results - Los...”
I had an Ulthera treatment after speaking to several friends who had it done and looked better to me. I had tried Thermage in the past and didn't notice any difference so I was skeptical. I did find the treatment painful but every treatment I do seems to hurt so I guess I was prepared for that. I immediately noticed a difference during the treatment but was excited to see what would... more
I really wanted to tighten my skin, since my skin seems more saggy with age. The whole procedure took about 30 minutes. I was given some medication which made me relax. It was that as painful as I expected. The only place I was really sensitive was around my jaw. But I love the results. And the best thing was I was able to go back to work without any brusing or redness. My friends were all... more
“Ultherapy Hurts! - Los Angeles”
I heard about Ultherapy on Dr. Oz. I wanted to tighten my facial skin and he said that it was a non-evasive, no down time procedure. I found it to be the most painful procedure I've ever had. I had a pain shot and vicodin, nevertheless during the procedure it felt as though I was being shot with a tazer gun. After the procedure I had welts, scratches and swelling on my face (actually I... more
