So Much More Painful Than I Imagined - Houston, TX

Well I am at the 3 month mark and cannot honestly say that I see any improvement. My neck still has some red marks that I don't think will go away since they have not faded a bit. I will be scheduling a 3 month post procedure visit at the end of the month. They will take pictures and it's possible that the change is so subtle that I have not noticed it ..but if that's the case then this is way too expensive a procedure for that kind of result. Also, no one has come up to me and said "wow you look great, what did you do". The feeling is just coming back in my scalp so hopefully in another month it will be back to normal. I am convinced that my practitioner did not do the procedure properly based on the other feedback on this site. I will be discussing what they can do to improve the appearance of my neck now that it looks worse than it did before the procedure. Maybe I was just unlucky but -as I have said before- I would NEVER recommend Ultherapy to anyone. Money down the drain as far as I'm concerned.

It has now been over 6 weeks since my Ultherapy. Still have some annoying side effects. Half od my scalp is still numb and the area under my chin is still sensitive to touch. I will be contacting the office this week since I am now starting to be concerned. After reading most of these comments, it is obvious that there are some really good practitioners out there that take the time to discuss everything with their patients and also make extra efforts to minimize or eliminate the kind of side effect that I (and others) have experienced. I wish I had gone to one of those...mine was more like, " you're going to be so happy, it might be a little uncomfortable and give me the money". Live and learn. As I mentioned before I should have done a lot more research and paid a lot less money..if I even went ahead with the procedure. So far I see no improvement in any area of my face or neck..Very unhappy .

Sure hope so because I don't see any difference in my face...no tightening or lifting or anything. But I remain optimistic...time will tell. Still would not recommend it to anyone or ever have a second treatment. I should have waited until this procedure had been around longer. As time goes by I am seeing more and more negative comments. I did not spend the time I normally do when making a decision that involves this much money.

Well..it has now been over 3 weeks since my Ultherapy. My bruises have faded away but my neck still has lumps and is very sore..jawline is tender to the touch as well. I contacted the provide and she told me to wait a month and then come see her if this has not resolved. I have not seen any improvement from the procedure and now I can honestly say I would not recommend Ultherapy. I have read where some other people had the procedure and the doctor used methods, like cotton. to minimize the side effects that I have experienced. Hoping that at some point I at least get some improvement with the look of my jawline and maybe a lift for my brow but right now I am not very optimistic. Will post again when a month has gone by.

Well..it has been 12 days since my Ultherapy and my face is still very tender.especially along my jawline. I can barely touch it. Bruises have faded some but still very noticeable. My provider told me that 3% of people have bruising and I was in the 3%..so basically get over it. I asked if perhaps the machine needed to be calibrated and she was pretty dismissive. All I can say is that I would never recommend this procedure to anyone. 1) It is pretty expensive with no guarantee that anything will happen (I have questioned my decision to do it based on this alone...what was I thinking?) 2) My experience has been pretty bad and continues..I still have some lumps on my neck and it is a still a little numb, as I said face is still tender and bruised and 3) Jury is still out on results . I am wondering what kind of training the people who created Ultherapy and the machine give to the people who administer the treatment.
