No it was painful

UPDATED FROM rdinca

VERY HAPPY WITH P..R.P. for ultherapy damage!

rdinca
I feel I must share this HOPEFUL update on the ultherapy board ( check my full p.r.p. injection review i posted for more on this) as so many have inboxed me damaged too seeking answers and hope. This is for you all as i absolutely believe it is the absolute KEY to healing and halting underlying, ongoing tissue/ fat/ muscle etc loss ultherapy, as in my case, can do.
It's now 2 weeks after my 2nd p.r.p. and my skin texture alone (which got paper thin and prematurely like crepe paper) is dramatically improving. Its a slow steady change so its not like fillers, in fact i was starting to think it wasnt much difference until i got infront of a magnification,lighted mirror yesterday.
I was so very happy to see my skin looks an feels at least texture wise, like it's 10 years younger, firmer and because I get lupus butterfly rashes, it's greatly improved that now as well.
You could even see by how much fat loss on chin especially the striations of muscle on the bone which looked deformed when I smiled after ultherapy. P.r p injected and microneedled topically now twice is starting to make that less noticeable an smooth. What a major improvement!!!
I can't thank you (Amy Riddle, an ethical nurse administering p.r.p.) enough!!! Sweetspot medspa fort myers if in the area, its saved my sanity, truly thru 5 years of zero social life or career.....hope is Life. Don't give up friends!!! Xoxo

I also agree with you that microneedling with PRP injections can help with damage from ultherapy. Many who have been traumatized from this are afraid to do another thing, but this procedure is healing.

It really creates p.t.s.d. almost all I speak to incurring this damage have trust an trauma issues now. It's way deeper than skin....

Your skin looks amazing, you are very beautiful!

I don't feel beautiful. But thank you so much. Xoxo

It looks like you are getting some contour back to your face! Are the treatments expensive? Also how many treatments and how far apart?? You mentioned that you have lupus is that a result of Ultherapy

Hi there!!! So sorry it took me so long to respond. It can't be totally determined if it causes lupus or autoimmune issues. But I was diagnosed with Lupus after. Great question. Studies need to be done!!!! The results of p.r.p. we're wonderful, albeit, short lived. So yes, then it's cost prohibitive.

One more thing you look great for 40

Thank you!!!! Xoxo

I am 30 years old and my jaw line and mid face is sagging slightly and so I considered doing ultherapy. But now maybe now. Specialosts say that if you have these issues from ultherapy then it is because a genuine ultherapy machine was not used? What do you think? Also regarding PRP and microneedling, how deep does the micro needle go and how many sessions before you saw a difference? Maybe I'll try that instead thanks xx

It was most definitely a ," real" ultherapy machine. They blame ," old heads an old settings( meaning before a research date) we were the human test dummies..
UPDATED FROM rdinca

And as I lay trying to repair my face with p.r.p. tears streaming down my face

rdinca
let me post what I looked like in a selfie, which are time stamped in phones, before damage. I lay on the table getting my p.r.p. an for some reason I felt every bit of pain, unusual but then I held a mirror when Amy finished an saw what used to be a glimmer of my old chin an jaw due to p.r.p. swelling an the salty tears just flowed, bitterly streaming into every open pore an hollow now raw from application burning, as a deep reminder of everyday this has deeply ruined my face and life....

UPDATED FROM rdinca

Truth or none truth in advertising rant

rdinca
Ok, this has been really bugging me. Especially since when I click on the ultherapy page here now, first thing pops up is an advertisement for Ultherapy, paid to Christie Brinkley.
Here's why that's of grave concern to me and SHOULD be to you all as consumers...after really trying to get to the bottom of WHAT PROCEDURES I believe she has had or if she has had ultherapy at all I think I found HER answer finally.
She did a current USA today interview I found. It states, by her own admission, she WROTE HER BOOK, in 2017 heralding ultherapy BEFORE trying it. Because she knew some friends and heard it was good? And also says she recently tried, " a kinder more gentle ultherapy" forgive me if not verbatim but pretty close to her original statement. Look it up. Everything can be found online.
Imo she is heartless. How can you knowingly promote something? Never trying it beforehand? To dismiss us all suffering? What kind of MONSTER DOES THAT!!!!!
AS a model, years ago as a young model who DIDN'T have money at the time I was asked to promote and shoot commercials for dietary supplements promoting weight loss. As a nutritionasl holistic enthusiast and not wanting to promote ANYTHING, PERIOD,I felt could be detrimental to an unsuspecting public, i found phen phen in it. I didnt know what we know now even of dangers but i knew enough to gather it could harm people so turned down a VERY lucrative contract. I SURELY couldve used the money but refused. I couldnt sleep at night if i had.
Not all people are like me so please be very careful by who an what you see promoting cures for a fee friends.

Correction: the interview was done by : family circle on Facebook live in March 2018 I refer to. Not usa today. My apologies.

CB has clearly had a LOT more done than Ultherapy.

Well put about Christie Brinkley. She is not being forthright about the filler she has been getting for YEARS, not to mention the fact she may have had a mini lift at some point. It's SO disingenuous to attribute really ANY of her current lifted appearance to Ultherapy, considering she's been using other modalities for years. And what kind of "gentler" Ultherapy is she doing?? If Ultherapy is so great, and so safe, why is there a need for a "gentle" option (if there even is one). RUBBISH!!
August 13, 2018
Yeah, you like how when you Search Ultherapy on here now her ,"PAID" infomercial pops up? 1st thing you view is her glowing PAID for words on it which is so laughable as she admits when asked to rep.it from her interview, she just KNEW friends who had it done but not her yet....she better hope an pray if she truly did try it in 2017, it was worked out on us guinea pigs so she doesn't have ongoing complications like hundreds of us now have. I did no crime but what a LIFE sentence. Good to see you tuffy! Miss u!!! Xoxo

Rdinca, I'm so glad to see you're on the road to restoration. Are you considering fat grafts for your volume loss? Or, do you feel the PRP will instigate its own growth factors? I'm wishing you ALL THE BEST. You have gorgeous skin by the way ;). For inflamed vasodilation (capillaries) on the face I've found burts bees 40% diaper rash as a nightly mask on those areas really helps bring down the inflammation. I hope that is some help and encouragement for you :)).

Thanks hon. I really appreciate the pointers. Lupus is God awful. Then to have ultherapy applied on top of it was devastating. If I hadn't have been an absolute devoted holistic nut I'd be far worse off I know from both. Our environment is so toxic now, no wonder everyone's displaying autoimmune issues at WARP speed and in record numbers. Yes, I've done 2 p.r.p. an will do 3rd on aug.17th. I love the skin quality improvement. But, it doesn't help volume loss much unfortunately. ( p.r.p.)Yes, seriously looking into fat transfer or lift. Never ever dreamed i EVER have to consider cutting my poor face as sadly i was one of those people who loved how i looked, i was fortunate enough to earn a living on it most my life. Its like a surgeon losing a hand. Best i can equate it too. I never found myself more beautiful than anyone else, just had a unique enough face and image to make it work career wise. Most of my earnings were dedicated to Environmental causes and including wildlife rescue and rehab. Yellowstone specifically and water issues ive gone to Congress for as a job during an after. No clean food or water, we all die. Sick people can live, true but cant work....
