I had this treatment done a week ago. Even with numbing cream, I found the procedure to be extremely painful. Maybe I am just a wimp, but I asked them to stop several times through the hour session. It really felt like someone was stapling my face. I was also panicking and not feeling good about it after reading all these bad reviews. And then something was wrong with the machine at one point, which only added to my anxiety. I only had the lower face and neck done.
I had minor redness and swelling the next day, but no visible difference in tightness or laxity. Will post three months out and see if there's a difference.
I do think there are questions you should ask like how old is the machine, how was the technician trained, and you should always consult with the doctor first before having the tech do the procedure.

It takes up to 6 months to see the final result. The first week looks good because the skin is swollen.

Updating this...... Went back to the doctor a year after the procedure. She showed me my before and afters and tried to convince me it had worked. There was absolutely no change at all. The photos looked exactly the same. She tried to tell me some BS about it being the morning and my face was swollen in the morning. I could tell she was nervous to admit it hadn't done a damn thing. I haven't noticed a change, but I wanted to see the photos just to be sure. Such a waste of $2500!

you can't blame the doctor ! ultherapy works on the already existing collagen
