WORTH IT$2,500
I am really seeing some nice results. I am very happy I did this procedure. I paid $2500.00 and I think it was well worth it. I see the best results in my jowl area. I am four weeks out today. People are beginning to call me Benjamin Button, because it is gradual and very natural.

The physician assistant who I had the consultation with was great, The aesthetician was okay. I think she was a little rough with me. She should have had me wear some sort of a bib or smock, and a cap covering my hair. The gel got all over my hair and clothing.

Thanks for the update. I'm glad it worked so well for you.
wow, great results already; I believe that you will see more improvement over next two months!
Also, excuse me asking but how old are you? I am trying to figure out based on the reviews here, what is the best age for ultherapy. I want to have it done on my whole face but I am not sure if I should wait a few more years (until after 40) or should I do it now.

I am 53 year old.

So glad to hear you are seeing some good results!! That is awesome! I'd love it if you would post another picture so we can see the changes too. :)

I had ulthera, done on my whole face one week ago...

I had ulthera, done on my whole face one week ago today. It was V E R Y painful. I was actually crying it hurt so bad. At first they were not going to give me any injections to numb my face but gave me a Tramadol, I couldn't take the pain, I think I ended up getting about 30 injections at least. I am still very sore and have a few black and blue areas, one on my cheek is about the size of a silver dollar. The part that was the most painful was the areas near bone, the jaw, cheekbones, and temple areas. I don't notice a difference yet but I am optimistic about it. A couple of people said they see some difference but I am not sure. If so it is ever so slight. I really don't know if I could ever go through this again though. I sure hope I have good results.

That looks like a dramatic difference to me....
I can see a difference too so it appears to be working fairly quickly for you. Any new pics?
Yes, it's shockingly painful around the bones especially. I've always insisted on a penthrox inhaler during treatment, works wonders. You appear to be getting good results, though I was told it doesn't really help with a lax neck, and eventually had to get lipo to fix that.

Wow, 30 injections - eek! I'm surprised you were able to sit for that! I think I'd have a tough time with it. After all you went through I really hope the results come out great for you. Please keep us posted on what you are seeing!

Wow ... I see the difference ... I too have the procedure done 2 weeks ago ... Very painful for me too like razor blades slicing through my skin ... They did use the highest setting 45 instead of 30 .... I am not seeing results yet but my skin texture seems to be better ... I'm still sore in my jaw and neck areas ...thank you for your post and hope I get as lucky as you when it comes to result
Since 3 years post the procedure can you tell now how long did the results from Ultherapy last? Did you like it overall? is it worth it? Did you develop any complications months or years after the treatment, like lots of people complains on this website.
