First of all, I have to tell anyone who does this procedure to wait till the 90/120s days is up before losing hope. I was beginning to think the procedure was a scam but almost right at the the 3 month mark- I started noticing a little difference. Then a little more and a little more. At 3 1/2 months post procedure, the results are REAL. I had my lower face/upper face done. My neck looks amazing. Like I am 20 years old. I'm 33. Yes, that is still young but it is certainly nice to have a neck without an imperfection! I was starting to notice those two lines that go down your neck in certain lighting (ugh) and now it's completely gone. I have to TRY and force myself to make those lines now, whereas I could get them just by chewing or smiling strongly, or pushing out my chin ever. so. slightly. I am so excited I had to stop and write a review. I'm not so sure about my cheeks, but I'm young anyway and there wasn't much to be fixed. I'm sure there is a difference though, even if it's subtle.

Hi, great review.
I had ultherapy 3month ago. And I feel the result very little , but it's not something I wanted. I want really tighten my face shape. So I am considering face lift . I'm 31yo.
But after I am reading review. Maybe I should wait more for my result??

In our office, we have found that Ultherapy works well in the lower face and neck areas to tighten the SMAS and platysma. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACS Los Angeles

Here are some photos nearly 3 years after my first ultherapy session. I also had a second one a year ago. Some advice: be patient! The best results happen around one year post procedure. Your skin does seem to so through some changes but don't judge until it's the finished product, so to speak. I also happen to believe that very light peels help the collagen grow more. It's weird but I have noticed firmer skin after peels and peels are not supposed to give that much of a dramatic tightening. I think it's the ultherapy and peel combo. Also, and this is important: before doing ultherapy study the heck out of your face in every mirror in your house. Check out your skin in the reflection of microwave, the car window, anywhere that shows harsh lighting and every flaw. Then keep checking your skin at the worst lighting mirror/reflection spot you have. This is the true test to know if you are improving. Also, don't make a final judgement call until one year later. Trust me. I firmly believe there is more collagen growth after a year as well.

Did you notice a big change after the second treatment? I am considering a second treatment. I had my first treatment in August 2015.

Make sure you wait a year and a half -2 years after the first procedure before the second. I have noticed more firming with the 2nd treatment, especially at the one year mark. I think the most firming happens one year post procedure. Hope this helps! :-)

Hey cat girl .. First you nailed a couple of things in regards to my experience .. My wow change is actually happening to me now 11 months after the treatment and seems like more firming and lifting even in my eye area is still happening ..Before the procedure , I was given an estimate for fat transfer to the tear dough , lipo suction to parts of my face and a minor eye lift where they just do a minor cut on top of eyelid etc just incase ulthera doesn't work for me .. Well i don't need any of that now coz ulthera turned back the clock for me .. Just like you , I am also doing minor chemical peels every 3 months and the texture of my skin is even 10 yrs younger ... WOW ...thank you for your review coz I am considering a second treatment a couple of years down the road .. Couple of question though , how would you compare your looks from the "first before "to your "second before "? I guess I'm trying to figure out how long the effect of the first one lasted .. Did you go back to the same place that did the first one ?? Are you considering another ultheraphy in the future ?? Thank you

Yup. The peels do something, I don't know what but it works. I look younger now at almost 36 then before I had my first done at 32, 33. Absolutely, hands down, yes. I think the first one lasts about 2 years but then remember, you will look younger if you had not had it at all. Because of the treatment, it's like you turned back the clock a year or two and you will always look a bit younger because of that. I went back to the same place, yes. I completely trust my doctor. SHe's awesome. She does every procedure that she offers and posts before, during and after of herself up on her wall. How many doctors do that? Not many. I will definitely do ultherapy again. :-)

This was what I was looking for. I got my treatment lower face about 2 1/2 months ago. I feel like my skin dosent look as good and I normally have great skin. Also think I see sagging but had pics taken to compair and it could be minor swelling but really not that different. I'll hold out for the 4 months before I make a real judgment after reading your review
January 2, 2016
Hold out till one year post. Definitely. I am about 13 months post and I still see my skin improving. I hink it continues to improve 2 years post op. 3-4 months is too early to make a final judgement call *for sure*. Best of luck! :-)

I looked great at 9 months but notice saggy skin and fat loss after a year.. If I lower my jaw now I see thin saggy skin at a year postop.. I literally keep my head up all the time and also think maybe I should get a peel

Try a light peel and see. I think part of the problem is that people don't really study their face until after they have these procedures. Then they scrutinize every detail and think the procedure aged them when the issues were there all along. That may not be the case with you but did you study every flaw of your face in all kinds of lighting before the ultherapy? I mean really, really study it. Another thing is that I keep reading where people got swollen, etc after the procdure. That did not happen to me at all. I did not swell, I did not bruise. No one would have known I got anything done 5 minutes after my doctor finished. So I don't know. I really really trust my doctor and maybe she is really skilled. I have not lost volume or gotten saggy skin, in fact my skin has definitely lifted and tightened. My stepdaughter told me yesterday I look like I'm in 8th grade. lol I would try the peels and see if they help. Best of luck. :-) xo
This is great to hear! Will you post some pictures so we can see the great results?!
