Hi, I got ultherapy done about 1 year ago. At the time it was very painful and wonder if the setting was too high. It felt like torture. When my forehead was being done over the nerve that runs about mid-brow up to the hairline it felt like the lady was pulling my hair out at the top of my scalp. 12 months on I get tingling in the same spot on one side that lasts on/off for days.
