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.
I'm thinking of having the procedure done. It's been a year since your original post - any major results with the thermage?
Do you have any before and after photos that you could share?
Ive had IPL and ultherapy, and it did wonders for my face. Clealry, the results one receives will depend to a Large extent on the experience and qualifications of the doctor. Always go to a plastic surgeon instead of a beauty salon, especially in the USA, where it seems you guys have much more lax accreditation requirements from your beauty salon providers.
Were your surgeons, plastic surgeons? It's really important to do your research before consenting to any cosmetic procedure. To botch up such a simple procedure suggests that your surgeon is not very good, or not suitably qualified, or both.
I had this procedure done late last year. Save yourself the money. Very painful and quite ineffective for the eye bags - if anything, it thins the skin under the eye area, and makes the problem worse (as underlying bulge of eye bags can only be corrected surgically). Better off having botox and a blepharoplasty.
