I am 3 weeks post procedure after a full face. Ultherapy's brochure states in part "...it is unlikely you will need pain medication during the procedure. Many patients describe the sensation as momentary prickling or heat beneath the skin." Oh if only!! I completely agree with others that Ultherapy grossly misrepresents the level of pain. I took prescription pain meds for this and had my whole face done. It literally feels like sharp hot needles are being shot into your face - deep, intense pain. Even with pain meds, the pain at times was almost intolerable to the point of giving up. Also, when I lift my eyebrows, the right side of my forehead goes up but the left side no longer does. This is a direct result of the procedure. This side effect, or any risk/side effect, was never mentioned as a possibility, either by my doctor's office nor in the brochure. Is it permanent? I have no idea, I'll just have to wait and see. I can only hope that in the next few weeks I get the results they display in the brochure. Otherwise, I've just wasted $2500.

Hi designtime,

Welcome to the community. Wow, I would be undecided to if I had to deal with all of that. I hope everything heals up well. Please update us in a week as to how everything went.

Thanks so much for the review,

-Britt

Which doctor did you go to in colorado?

I have this procedure scheduled next week. It has been 2 months since yours, do you see any results? Were your side effects temporary or do you still have trouble raising one side of your forehead? Do you think it's worth it?

Hi, it's actually now almost 3 months. I can lift both eyebrows evenly now so that was temporary (thank goodness). Honestly, I don't know that I can really tell any difference. I was considered a good candidate but I was looking for the same level of result they present in their brochure and on the website. I will end up getting plastic surgery on my eyes, jawline & neck to the get the results I'm after so for me, this probably wasn't a good investment.

I am in your shoes - no real improvement to speak of - wasted money

Thanks for you reply. I canceled my appt, a plastic surgeon told me that it will probably end up being like thermage with very so so results. I will wait til it's been out longer. The plastic surgeon also told me that many company reps get on here and make up stories.
