I didn't have ulthera on the neck, just the jaw. It hasn't had any lasting benefit in that area. Clearly that area needs some other treatment.

Ashbrooke is the pioneer of this treatment in Australia, and Ulthera seems to be one of their mainstays along with lipo. The staff are obviously very busy with appointments but they will answer your questions honestly and knowledgeably. They do appear to be more expensive than some of the costs you see on the web, but I think they really know their specialties, so I would trust them with procedures that I would be cautious about getting done elsewhere.

I don't understand the benefit of this as expensive as it is, a couple treatments is close to the cost of a face /neck lift !

I have to disagree in part. I think a facelift is much more expensive than an ultherapy treatment. As for a necklift you simply wouldn't go with ulthera if you needed a necklift. But in addition it depends on the person and what they want. Not everyone wants to undertake a procedure as drastic as facelift, which not only has a long recovery, extreme discomfort and surgical risk, but also incurs a loss of wages due to the time needed off work. Still ultrasound treatment is very expensive right now and it's certainly not for everyone. A facelift/necklift is what some people may need, if they're prepared to take their chances, and have time to spare.

Yes , I have to agree. I think this poor guy wasted a lot of money. Very little benefit noted. More imagined, I think than real. You really can't tell anything by the photos as the lighting is completely different in the befores and afters and in the front view, we don't see the whole face, so we don't know what the expression is. Even a LITTLE smile can make wrinkles under the eyes look remarkably worse in older skin. So he may have been smiling a little in the before shot. We don't know however since we get a small cropped part of the face.

At least when you find a good surgeon, you are guaranteed significant, long-lasting results with a facelift.

Your profile looked better before Ulthearpy,

Jaw, no great improvement, some fat lost, unevenly. Probably just an age effect.

Not an age effect, it's a ulthera effect!!

How long ulthera lasts

I'm posting some side by side pictures after 1.5 years. I think these pictures demonstrate the limitations of the treatment really. Ulthera won't help on any part of the body which where there are a lot of fat deposits, like on my neck. I admit however, that i never got the treatment on my neck, just the jawline. Whether the effects last more than a year is uncertain, but probably not significantly, which makes it an expensive treatment for just one year's benefit. I still believe I got some lasting benefit, especially on the main area of my face, like under the eye. The main facial area is a good place for ulthera, in my opinion.
