After a tough year, i felt like i had aged 5 years. I felt as if my cheeks had become sunken, i looked a bit drawn (as evidenced by sagging of acne scarring!) and i wanted to get rid of the sadness in my eyes by refreshing the rest of my face.
I had ultherapy to my cheeks, lower face area and neck. So far, just over 2 months on, it has had no effect at all on my neck (i am 34 years, and have slight sagging of neck area). Re cheeks and jowls - there was some slight improvements (my acne scarring slightly raised). Slight reduction of my nasolabial folds. However, certainly not enough to justify the cost.
I think the improvement was due to the swelling that persisted for over a week and tenderness for just under 2 months. I could have probably seen the same results just be losing 5 kilos (weight i had put on in the year before). Re pain - i had to have a lot of laughing gas, as i found it quite painful without.
Great review?

Fantastic clinic, great staff.
I came across a site which might be useful for you (re finding an ultherapy practitioner in Sydney).

I'm not comfortable giving out that information, purely because I in no way have an issue with the clinic (in fact i've gone there for years for other procedures - i'd actually recommend only this clinic for all facial procedures (and i've been to many :O) ). I just didn't think the ultherapy procedure itself was worth the money - at least, not for me. :O)
Well, it's been nearly a year since i had my ultherapy done (by one of the most reputable clinics in Sydney). As i mentioned in my original post, i still have reservations about spending so much (hard earned) money on a procedure that provides only minimal results. To be honest, ive had more results performing my own glycolic acid peels (50%) which have definitely tightened my skin, at a fraction of the ultherapy cost and no pain. For me, the ultherapy did not provide the results id hoped for, and i think it is just too much money to pay on a "chance" of it working.
Hi nadia,
I don't know if you saw them, but I think so. Here is a link to the "not worth" it reviews. Hope that helps.
Have a good weekend,

Hi Miss,
Welcome to the Ulthera community! So you said that it has been two months since you had your procedure, and no change on your neck. Have you noticed change on the other parts? In the doctor Q&A a question was asked, How long does it take to see Ulthera results? One of the doctors who responded says it can take 3-6 months to see full results. So maybe you will notice more soon. Please keep us updated.
Thanks so much for the review,
-Britt
