Pain from Ultherapy 6 Mos Later?

I had UT, 1 upper face txment. The pain and tenderness isn't near what it was up to 4 mos later, but I still have scalp and forehead pain/sensitivity/tenderness and ZERO results. The usual fillers and botox also don't seem as effective and I have seen the meds drawn-up so I know they're using the right stuff. I was told that the pain means it is "working"...Insight or advice is appreciated.

Pain after Ultherapy 6 months later

It is possible to experience some tenderness in the brow area and scalp after Ultherapy, especially since the area treated in right over the bone. It usually tends to resolve prior to 6 months. Have you noticed it diminish over time? I would follow up with your provider and also have your photos taken to compare before and after appearance.

Oh, darn...I see that you won't see my response to your question, so I don't know how to follow-up, but in the off-chance you do see this, intermittently the pain is pretty remarkable. The M.D. who "highly recommended" this did have a follow-up conversation with me. When I complained about the lack of results, he said with a tone of finality, 'Ultherapy wouldn't work on forehead lines." forgetting he was the one who sold me on its efficacy and FDA approval for forehead lines. The pain? Very dismissive: "That goes away." So is the technician right that pain indicates it's working? What should i do? The photos show no difference!
