I am a potential customer. While there are success stories, there are many stories on Real Self and other forums about people dissatisfied with Ultherapy. Worse then that, there are multiple stories where this procedure permanently damaged a person’s appearance. While there will be a degree of dissatisfaction with any procedure done, this is concerning for a procedure with relatively low satisfaction rate that is expensive and can potentially negatively affect a person’s appearance permanently
Answer: Ultherapy vs other machines Just to add to the previous comment, there is an increasing number of salons use HIFU machines and offer "Ultherapy" treatment. A lot of people received a HIFU treatment with adverse results but then blame Ultherapy as the only FDA approved procedure. Some Chinese machines look very similar and only checking authenticity with Merz protects you from number of complications.

Answer: Ultherapy results I agree with most of the comments below. Ultherapy is an excellent procedure when done by properly trained technicians AND done on the right patients. It is not an appropriate procedure for somebody who needs surgical lifting and tightening. When performed on people who need minimal to moderate tightening and when done with the correct number and depth of pulses, a large percentage of people in my practice see very good results.Studies show that Ultherapy does stimulate collagen production and muscle tightening. I believe it is a great procedure for people in their 40's - early 50's who are just starting to notice collagen loss. Ultherapy will put collagen in their "collagen bank", which is a wonderful thing!
