Thrilled with Ulthera Results - Los Angeles, CA

Sculptra Believer - Los Angeles, CA

Another Real Self subscriber asked me a question and I saw your post and have been meaning to write back. I also did Sculptra (I had never had it before) about 2 weeks ago. I was sooooo sore on my jaw and my temples- WAY more than the Ulthera. I can only imagine how sore you were because you did them on the same day!

I am 53...I have no idea if there is an age limit-

Hi Libby, I wanted to let you know that my jaw was sore for a couple of weeks too...my doctor explained that it was normal (i called to report!) because the ultrasound goes very deep. I did notice a little difference right away but my doctor told me that it can take up to 6 months to see the full changes.

I don't have my pictures...my doctor has them and I don't want to share on this public site. I should probably go back to see if there are more changes but I do get complements all the time about my face-I did it about 4 months ago. I think the problem with some of these reports is you write in as soon as you do the treatment because it is fresh in your mind...my doctor made it very clear that it takes some time for you to really see what will happen. I also spoke with my friend's husband about it before I did it who is a doctor (doesn't do Ulthera) but explained the whole process and how these types of lasers take effect later...
I hope that helps- I'm still happy

Hi Britt,
I researched Ulthera for about 4 months before I had it done. A close friend had it done in NY and was very very happy with her treatment and thus, kept encouraging me to do it. The only pain I had was during the treatment and it was uncomfortable...mind you, I chose not to take any medications that were offered to me because I didn't want to feel groggy or drugged. It hurt more on my forehead and right next to my ears. It didn't hurt afterward. I've had other laser treatments where I felt a burning sensation for a couple of hours after...I didn't have that. I felt sore in some areas...mostly along my jawbone...but it wasn't painful. I'm not comfortable putting up my pictures- but I am very very happy. I don't ever want to have a facelift but I am 48 and I needed to do something to improve my skin which is starting to sag a little bit. I definitely encourage others who are looking into to do it-
