Posted 28 Dec 2010

I decided to have a consult with Dr. F at Advanced Dermatology for the Ulthera the non-surgical facelift and the Zeltiq non-surgical fat-reduction. I had seen the Ulthera on the Dr. Oz show, and I had read extensively about the Zeltiq procedure. Both procedures interested me immensely, so I went for a consult with Dr. J.F.

Dr. F was so wonderful and answered all of my questions, (not to mention that the fee that he quoted was less than some high-end surgeons that I had recently met with, who's fees were higher). Imagine that, the same procedures, with an honest, reputable dermatologist, who truly cares about his patients.

The procedures were a little uncomfortable I must say, although short-lived, but Dr. F was by my side every step of the way. He reassured me that my discomfort was normal. The results that I am already seeing are astounding, and I can't wait to see the final results. I know for sure that I WILL be referring all of my friends to Dr. F.

Helpful review?

My rating:

There are some facilities, (like some medi-spas and high-end practices) that forget that we are in a recession, and that patients do shop around. Shop no further, I had a board-certified dermatologist who treated me with the expertise that I craved, and who's fees that I could afford!

thanks for sharing. I was talking to a dermatologist about Ulthera and she said the pain was intense and the results took a number of months to see.  How far out are you and how would you describe the pain?

The discomfort was "tolerable", and the results are already noticeable, (although I'm not even close to the expectations that I anticipate). I feel that it was money well-spent, and I am happy that I did it.

Too many women have that fake "ET" look, and I never wanted to be one of them. I want to look like me, just better, and I do.

I hope that tis helps you, and I would encourage you not to be a hero, and take the sedatives and/or painkillers that they offer you, because it will only make the experience more tolerable.

Can I ask what part of the face you've done?

Have you had the jaw/neck done?

If so, would you post a photo? (I'm interested in the jawline/neck area....) and I'm also thinking about Dr. F as I've read great things about him, and he has an office near my home, too.

Best of luck!

I did the whole face, but as yourself the lawline was a major concern. I apologize but I don't feel comfortable posting any pics because my significant other doesn't know that I had it done, although he suspects something. I DO look more youthful, so he has noticed too.

Debbie!
Thank you for a quick reply.
So you did have the jawline done and you do notice a difference? That is awesome. Did they also do the neck? Does it feel weird when they do it?

I have a high tolerance for pain, and really don't like the idea of pain meds. Do you think the jaw area was painful during the treatment?

Oh, I totally understand your not wanting to post photos, no problem:) I'm glad this worked for you.

Again, best wishes!
