Hi Britt -
I'm 47 years old, of slender build and very healthy. I inherited my mother's genes and have a lot of loose and thin skin on my jowls and neck. That "turkey-wattle" sort of thing happening. That's what prompted me to look into neck rejuvenation. My dermatologist does a lot of cosmetic work and he brought up the Ulthera option. He offered it to me at a discount since his practice nurse just started doing the procedure.
Five days post-procedure I have some bruising above my eyebrows and at the temples and the skin all over feels very sensitive when I'm putting on my sunscreen or moisturizer.
I don't expect to see any improvement yet as it's only been a few days.
I received a promotional invitation today in the mail from the office where I had the Ulthera done and was surprised to read that Ulthera is only FDA approved for a brow lift, not the face or neck areas. That was news to me. Nobody from my doctor's office has called me since the procedure to see how I'm doing but I will call them next week anyway to check in.
