17 July 2012: I'm still seeing tightening in my face and neck and my friends and family members have commented that I look good (I didn't tell them that I had a procedure done). I still cannot believe how great my neck looks, really a remarkable result! Also, my cheeks have lifted to the point where I really don't think I will need very much radiesse any more.
I would definitely do this again but only with ample pain meds (the pain was horrendous) and now that I know about the swelling and discoloration of the face and neck that will occur and last for a few days I would just clear my schedule for a week or so following the procedure (hide in the house for a while until I'm presentable - *smile*). Overall, I think the procedure is definitely worth the cost!

17 June 2012: The purple lumps/bumps have disappeared...thank God...and the swelling is almost gone (I still have chipmunk cheeks though). The best news is that I can see the tightening and lifting! In fact, my neck looks amazing and there is a little lift in my eyebrow area! OUTSTANDING result already and this is just day 6! I'm excited!!!

13 June 2012: The swelling, welts, and purple lumps/bumps have almost disappeared! Also, my face and neck are still a little tender in spots. Overall, I'm feeling better now that my face and neck are almost back to normal.

Hi there - I'm curious about something - I had a good experience with ulthera and see so many really didn't (I've posted a review). What areas did you have treated, and do you know what depth transducers they used? I had mine done at the 4mm and 3.5 depths on mid+lower face and under chin. I'm going back for the 1.5mm, and wonder if this has more risk of developing welts and swelling - so if you happen to know what was used on you that might be useful knowledge. I'm really sorry to hear you had such a lousy time. Shame on your doctor for not checking on you! It's not like this is a manicure...

Hi. I had full face and neck done. The doctor informed me that she would be using the highest concentration (whatever that means). She used the large transducer first on all areas and then switched to another transducer (she said that transducer wouldn't hurt as much but I couldn't tell the difference between the two...pain is pain and I was in pain).
Perhaps my procedure was done a little differently than others since you're the 4th person that has informed me that they would have to go back for a 2nd once over; it seems I had everything done in one visit. Maybe that explains the pain I had to endure?
Good luck with your procedure!

Hi. The tightening and lifting in my face and neck stopped sometime in late July but I am still very happy with my results. The results are holding-up and that's a very good sign. I am considering doing another session of ultherapy in Jan 2013 (with a different doctor) to tighten up my neck and face area a bit more. I will post here if I decide to do it. It's unfortunate that the doctors are not always as considerate as they should be. The doctor I used for my ulterapy treatment lost my business completely when she didn't bother to provide me with after care information and instructions and didn't bother to even say 'good bye'. Thanks for writing and take care of yourself.
