Ultherapy deserves medicines to make it more comfortable

"You get what you pay for"... without discomfort you won't achieve non-surgical lifting. Thermage hurts but ultherapy hurts more. Thermage can help tighten, but the results of Ultherapy are greater. Patient satisfaction is greater, in fact, on this website, patients rate their satisfaction as approximately 89% with Ultherapy and 45% with Thermage. Many physicians who have done both are finding Ulthera to be more effective and it has FDA clearance for lifting!... more

Forehead is frequently the most sensitive area

I have been performing Ulthera treatments for one year and have treated over 100 patients. While it is generally well-tolerated, I have found the forehead to be the most sensitive area in many patients. I perform the treatment with nerve blocks and optional pain medicine in all patients, which reduces discomfort greatly. The undereye area is generally not particularly sensitive with this treatment.
