I was very excited to hear about Ultherapy for many reasons. The procedure does not require any anesthesia, there is no recuperation time, no marks or redness and the results begin immediately. You can have the procedure done in the morning and go out that evening! In approximately 1 ½ hours, I saw immediate results that only kept getting better over the next 3 months. My jaw and under my chin were the areas that I was hoping to see improvements and I did! Would I recommend this procedure to someone? Absolutely!

This "review" reads like a paid advertisement for the procedure.
"You can have the procedure done in the morning and go out that evening!"
What actual patient would write that? Come on.

Funny you should say that. When I posted my question last night I was almost 2 sheets to the wind tired.
Reading that review again, yeah, sounds hoaky. Maybe that is why there is no more follow up from the poster.

Again, for all you other readers out there...the pain level and your ability to go out in the evening totally depends on your own body and tolerance for pain. Some people are fine within minutes, whereas others need to rest the remainder of the day.
Ask your doctor if you need more information regarding whether to medicate prior to/after Ulthera treatments.

From what I've read in other forums, this particular procedure is actually NOT one you can have in the morning and go out in that evening. There is extreme swelling.
The Ulthera company needs to stop paying people to write good reviews. Makes one wonder why they feel the need to do that.

Actually not everyone gets that swelling thing. My cousin's 2 friends got it together. They took something called ? Arnicca or Arnica? that is supposed to prevent swelling.
They liked their results but said it took a few months.
But I really want to connect with other "real" folks who have tried it.
(the sisters didn't have the lower face done...so that doesn't help me, really)...
One of the sisters said it was pretty painful while the other one said it wasn't bad (but she has a high tolernace for pain).
What really bothers me is, any of the Private Plastic Surgeon websites, all show the same photos. Why aren't they at least posting photos of people they've done? they can block out the eyes and pull the hair back....so we can see what the REAL results are????
I'm tired of going from one Private Plastic Surgeons site to another, only to be taken to the very same photos that Ulthera promotes.
Surely more than 3 people have had it done and are willing to share, no?
I mean, I would, if they covered my eyes in the photo to protect my anonymity. I'd even pull my hair back and let them take all the photos they want. I'd want to share the experience be it negative or positive...
I have watched a few Drs. actually perform it on youtube, the one lady was a little pink afterward, but, then she evened out and looked fine. We need to see more people..REAL people...
Getting off my soapbox here.

Yey -- love the honest comments on here. There is nothing worse than dishonesty on these forums, so keep that up. Also -- to add to the soapbox comments, I am mad that some derms are charging so much more for this treatment than others (I could name names if you want.) Why should THEIRS cost more -- to pay for their pricey offices? I found places with good reviews that I could FLY to for a lower price than I found several hours away from my house -- that means that people are literally charging over a thousand dollars more, and I am talking about Beverly Hills offices here that charge less than VA offices -- ridiculous!

I had ultherapy done 3 weeks ago. You can go out that evening no problem. My skin was tender but not red. Ulthera is not paying me, I am replying because I had very good results immediately and each day I look at my skin and it continues to tighten. I am happy with my results. I will say, I felt like my face was a little full...but my husband didn't notice nor did anyone else. The procedure is painful so anybody who says it isn't is not being truthful. My doctor prescribed pain medication and xanax. That made it tolerable. I would do this again and plan to in another year to maintain. So going out the evening after the procedure, I was tired from the medication so I wouldn't. The next evening? YES!

I had it done and it was uncomfortable but not painful.
Within two hours after treatment there was not much to see.
Next day I only saw improvement of my skin but not swollen bruised or red.
I have to wait 3 to 6 months for the optimal results but very pleased with it already.

Sounds like you're very happy and that is good news.
How does it feel on the neck when they do it? Do they literally have to go UP the FRONT of the neck, like the throat? or is it done only on the sides and under the chin?? (for the lower face).
I am thinking of doing my lower face..jaw and neck...but I can't imagine the weird sensation that it would feel like directly up and down the front of the throat area.
Please, let me know?
Best wishes!
