The pain was completely unexpected. It felt like a laserbeam with a needle was being shot through to my skull. Wow. It was a lot to handle. Thankfully, because I was only having the upper face done it only took 20 minutes. I am not exaagerating about the pain. I just read a review where the patient was given both Valium and Demerol beforehand. Demerol!!!!
I choose this procedure because my upper eyelids were getting hooded and my undereye area is awful with bagginess. Although I was not expecting a huge change the low price made it with trying. I am one week post op and do still have tenderness at the browbone on both sides. I go back at 3 months to get After photos done.

Headaches for 3 1/2 weeks
DoggyMommyApril 23, 2018
It has been 3 1/2 weeks and the significant headaches have finally gone away. I was very bummed out about this side effect bc I previously wanted to have my lower face done too. I still have swelling in my temples although it has gone down a bit. If you do get headaches I found some relief by not wearing glasses or sunglasses which put pressure on the temple area.

I think 3 1/2 weeks of headaches is an alarming side effect, and could be indicative of the ultrasound energy going beyond the threshold of the skin. I hope all is well with you and you don't incur any other detrimental side effects going forward.

Thank you. The headaches subsided but I still have swelling in temples going into hairline. Slight tenderness still at one brow. Saw tech today. Said she was unaware of such headaches and would ask her manufacturer. The July follow up will be interesting.

Honestly, looking through your photos, your skin was already beautiful. Just keep using sunscreen all year round (but you probably already do).

How bad was the swelling? Also did you take any pain medicine prior to the procedure or did they numb your skin in anyway? I’m trying to decide if I’ll be too swollen to go to work 24 hours after the initial first pass?

The swelling was not noticeable to others. But after 6 months I had no results. Added photos today

Did you notice any results?

I am so sorry about your side effects. For the price you paid I can't help but think someone was inexperienced or the machine was a fake.

6 months later-no results
DoggyMommyOctober 22, 2018
6 months later. I went to my 3 mo checkup and even the tech agreed there were no results. So I skipped the 6 month photo checkup 2 weeks ago. Droopiness over the lids still there. My face is fuller due to weight gain and daily crying from a recent family trauma.
But I would say this procedure did not work. Also I noticed a fullness in my temples after the procedure and it has never gone away. Leaves me with an even bigger looking head I feel. Will not do again.

I had my jawline done at gentle aesthetics in August because I have a double chin and sagging at only 37. Anyways, I haven’t noticed any results either and it’s been 4 months! Do you think they use an authentic Ultherapy machine?

Do liposuction for jaw, chin, works well, done by an accredited surgeon of the procedure.
I wouldn't go near ultherapy, hifu, with reviews I have read.
