Most Certainly Worth It! - Calgary, Alberta

I think the jowl/cheek tissue area is a difficult area to treat with procedures such as Ultherapy. My lower cheek's still need improvement even after the treatment. I will try a second round in the near future but I'm not banking on great results. I have sometimes thought that Ultherapy may work best on thin sagging skin as opposed to deep tissue facial sag, although I may stand to be corrected. I don't have thin sagging skin. My skin looks firm and tight, but I feel as though that some of my facial features have dropped (especially my lower cheeks). So, I guess Ultherapy isn't a miracle procedure, but it has provided me with some subtle improvement. "SUBTLE" being the key word. I can totally understand that some individuals may not see improvement just b/c the results are just that subtle. If you decide to go for a second round, you'll have to let me know what your outcome is. Being in our 30's, we'd like to think that we'd get great, dramatic, robust, lifting results but unfortunately only a few get such outcome's. I think we just have to go into the treatment thinking that minimally we are creating a solid base of collagen within our skin. I rather spend my money on Ultherapy to produce collagen as opposed to 10-12 microderm abrasion or chemical peel treatments/year. Just a thought...

If there was a surgical procedure that would tighten/lift my cheek/jowl tissue and would also be appropriate to do so given my stage in aging, I would certainly have it done. But....there isn't. Not yet anyways. I'll have to wait until I have a little more sagging before I am a candidate for a mini facelift. In the interim, I feel that Ultherapy was the best thing I could do.

No, I didn't cover the welts with makeup. The skin appeared bumpy but not red or pink so, there wasn't anything makeup could do.
