What Does Ultherapy Feel Like? Is it Similar to Blue Peel?

By ga8888 on 04 Apr 2012

Does the Ultherapy pain feel anything like an Obagi Blue Peelburn sinsation? I will never do that again. They did hold a fan to my face for a cooling. Obagi blue peel felt like my face was pressed to a hot stove top 30 seconds at a time. So is Ultherapy more like a laser sting (okay) or a blue peel burn? I did take a 10 mg loratab prior and had a driver. I don't do burning sinsation well. Or better procedure to compare the type of pain not the pain level.

It sounds like you had a TCA peel which can be painful. The Ultherapy sensation is also uncomfortable (it feels more like deep heating less like 'burning'), but anti-anxiety medication and low dose pain medication takes the edge off nicely. There is a new software upgrade and the protocol is now considerably less painful than It was in the past. If you take medication plan for transportation home.
