I'm in my late 30s and starting to see signs of dark circles and bags, so I met with a Dr. who specializes in ophthalmology at the end of Dec 2016. He recommended ultherapy. It's been 3 months since my treatment and I haven't seen much change. He said I would see good results at the 3 month mark, but I'm not happy with where it's at.
