Ultherapy in UK - Liverpool, GB -9 days post procedure

I am 39 years old and the signs of aging were really beginning to bother me. I was looking for something non invasive and was confused with all the various.options out there. I came across this treatment and after much research and questioning I had this done on Tuesday 22nd Jan 2013. As most of the reviews relate to the procedure in America and it is still relatively new to UK, I thought I should share my experience here. I was relentlessly assured that there would be no pain and possibly only minor discomfort.

Don't let anyone delude you into thinking this is the case as it is a very painful procedure and barely tolerable even with high dose ibuprofen, paracetamol and codeine. This definitely requires very strong prescription only painkillers like morphine. I am still very swollen 48 hours later and there is still tenderness esp around the jawline. My face actually looks worse and no benefit seen yet. I am assured that it will improve and I will return to the clinic in 4-5 weeks for follow-up. Currently I'm not happy but will be patient too see it through. I would love to hear from other UK users.

Hi. It's been 9 days since I had my procedure and I'm still sore, tender and painful around the jawline. There is still numbness too. This has improved though. Although the skin around the jaw does feel tighter I can see much of a difference on photos and definitely no change elsewhere. My therapist assured me that as its a process, I will see results and that the pain is good as it suggests its working and healing, but does that then mean lack of pain elsewhere means it didn't work anywhere else? . I am due top-up treatment in march so I will update again. I'm not impressed so far but am still willing to wait and see. It's very expensive for very subtle change if any. I have heard of the one stitch face lift which an online video suggested good results. I had considered it as an alternative but then thought I'd try this. The expense is comparable but effect seems would have been immediate and definite. Would be nice to know if anyone has had that. Will continue to update

Hi Its now over 2 weeks since i had the procedure done on 22nd January and i still feel a little tender and uncomfortable around the jaw, however this is much improved. The area does feel firmer and tighter however overall not much difference seen in my overall facial look. My main concerns were my eyes and my cheeks looking a little saggy, however these areas are no different. I didnt feel that my therapist focused on these areas too much hence i only felt post procedure pain in my jawline. Hope to still go back maybe towards end of Feb for topup. Will continue to update, but would love to hear how others are getting on who have had the treatment. Thanks
