I heard about Ultherapy on Dr. Oz. I wanted to tighten my facial skin and he said that it was a non-evasive, no down time procedure. I found it to be the most painful procedure I've ever had. I had a pain shot and vicodin, nevertheless during the procedure it felt as though I was being shot with a tazer gun. After the procedure I had welts, scratches and swelling on my face (actually I still do). The skin under my chin and in other areas on my face have been numb for over a week.
If the pain equals results, I'm hopeful that the results will be fantastic. It's been a week and a half and I can't really tell yet.

It is interesting to me how doctors keep saying that the treatment is painless, but time and time again I have read posts from people saying how tremendously painful it is.

I did this in November, and yes it hurts it is very painful, i took 2 percocets and still it was painful, it felt like i was being electricuted!
I have 3 months later noticed some tighting under my chin, we are going to have pictures done in March so I will update.
I paid 2K, for the entire face, but his prices have gone up to now 3K

I wonder if we went to the same doctor. Do you think there's a chance that he's not doing the procedure correctly?

I received ultherapy 3 months ago, and although it was slightly painful, my plastic surgeon gave me some medication to relax me and it really helped. I went with a friend and got a discount for $2500 each. It was worth it! You won't notice it right away, but after about 2 months, you will definitely see a difference. Just make sure that it is a trained doctor, and NOT a nurse or tech doing this procedure! I went to a Korean doctor in korea town. I would recommend him highly.

Hi my name is Dang and I was wondering about Korean Doctor in Korea town. What is the name of the Doctor and how much it is ? What about the results? Please let me know thank you very much.

Thanks so much for writing a review of your experience. I've heard a few people talk about how painful it is, despite what Dr. Oz said. Do you think you still would have had it done if you'd known the extent of the pain?
