Get Thermage, Don't Get Ultherapy! - Queens, NY

That's really odd! For me, at least at this point (4 days from getting the ultherapy), thermage is way better. I hope I will be able to see GREAT results since I was already so satisfied with thermage's results.

I am begining to think my doctor had applied too much energy to my skin because the pain is so unbearable AND I had several areas nerve damages on my face. Maybe because I praised about thermage so much and that it was painless for me, he then took it to the extreme. That's why I said I felt like being "punished" by my doctor. I know he could adjust the level of energy lower and go over the same area a couple times more (that's what my doctor who performed the thermage did), but I guess he was rushing it because he has another patient waiting to get ultherapy done too. My appointment was at 10:45am but he didn't start treatment on me until almost 2pm!!

BTW, I did not get any type of numbing cream on my face for thermage. I only had cooling gels and I did not feel any pain at all. I did see immediate results (better than what I saw after the ultherapy was done). While everyone are saying ultherapy is better, I just don't see how?

Anyone else had both thermage and ultherapy done before?

Yes, I had numbing cream on my face and neck for an hour before the procedue. The treatment was done 3 days ago and my face still numbs and still a bit sore when pressed with fingers.
