  • Posted to Worst Pain Ever of a Procedure,little or NO Results :( - Frederick, MD on 28 Jun 2012

    I also live in VA - in Alexandria, actually, & had to make the drive once/week for 4 wks for the study, then 2mos later, again once/week for 4 weeks for the other arm (which was done as a courtesy to match the "study" arm. It is a hike, indeed, but that was the price I paid for being in a free study!
    Keep me posted!

    I honestly can't believe you never even met the Dr who owns the practice & only saw the PA-that seems like very poor protocol - what if you had some kind of contraindication to Ultherapy? Is that something the PA would be able to diagnose? If the PA missed something on you, it's the Dr's license on the line-very risky & not professional!
    Dr. Weiss is only doing Exilis study on the arms - they do use it very successfully on the jawline/neckline area, but that is not part of a study-it has already been proven successful for that area. I would absolutely consult with her office & see if there is any other kind of procedure that can correct what's been done already.
    For what's it worth - I am very happy with my Ulthera results & do not need a second session - I had mine done in DC with Dr. Rondi Walker (hadn't met Dr. Weiss yet) & she said it is rare to need a second session.

    I have been fortunate to be a study pt with Dr Weiss (for Exilis-skin tightening for my arms) the staff in her office have discussed Ultherapy with me as I had it done by a different doctor, albeit with good results. They are so knowledgeable at that office, about so many no surgical procedures. I think I'd go to her for a consult to see if any repairs could be done

    Thanks, Makenzie, for that suggestion - I've submitted my question to your docs!

    A Medspa in my hometown of Alexandria, VA is hosting an OpenHouse this Sat. June 16, with Belotero the featured "guest", with special pricing-buy 1 syringe, get the other 1/2 off. The photo accompanying the invitation shows 3 different levels that can be used - intense, basic, soft - wondering which product is best for the different areas, particularly the lips-which is where I want to have it injected
