6 months later-no results
$300
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.

Headaches for 3 1/2 weeks
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?
None. I added photos today
None. 6 month mark. Added photos today.
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.

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.

How are your results? I am considering the same procedure.
No results. At 6 months
Thank you for the detailed description and honest opinion. I hope your results will worth the pain you have had to endure.
No results at 6 mos
It's been at least 6 mos post, wondering if are you happy with your results?
No results at all. I added photos today
I tried to have this procedure done at ideal image in ohio and they started under my chin along my jaw line but the pain was so bad I had them stop, I could not do it! I had pain in the area they treated for over two weeks. I want to get it done but I would have to be knocked out or something, the pain was unbearable for me.
Sorry to hear that!
Had it done in Sudtralia and the pain level was very high . I thought the same thing about wishing I could be knocked out for it !
I mean Australia
Wow! Everyone should be aware of the extreme pain of this! I am 6 most post and no results. Added photos today.
The pain is horrible
