I had this procedure done at NLS. I had a bad operation in the U.S. (pulled up my fat pad from the inside on the mouth and hair) that's another story. It left me with a fat face and jowls. I went in to the procedure thinking it would cost around 700 dirhams because they told me over the phone that I could pay by the line which is 70 dirhams each. I thought good deal to try it at first - however, it was never made clear what a line was (I found out the hard way a line is one zap!) so she did 10 lines - a tiny area on the jowls and a few on the eyebrow (and lid which I did not think you could do with this machine). As she was doing the zaps she would say look - can you see it?! I looked and said hmm I guess so. But actually I was confused about this since all that I read about it said you will not see any results for months.... and no I did not see it - I was being polite. There was very little pain - with or without the ice - felt like a little zap of electricity. But I have read a lot about this and the drs. in the States say there is supposed to be NO pain cause it is only going so deep - to the collagen - and would only hurt if they are going too far - to the bone. This little procedure costs me $900.00 (3,305.61 AED)!!! I don't see ANY improvement at all and feel a little duped. I mean the entire face procedure should not cost more than AED 7000 ( 1,905.85) at Euromed!!! I just saw their ad!@! It is too soon to judge I guess - BUT if you were going to try it try it a Euromed instead and get the whole face for only double the money! Please post it. I am feeling very down about throwing away $900 and really find it hard to believe I will see any difference at all. Oh yes, she did not even take before pictures and was rushing me out the door because she had other patients. Dr. Julia if you see this I would like to hear your comments! I really doubt these other posts are real people - and if so let's see pictures.

You only did 10 lines total? Average is about 500 I believe for just lower face..I'm sure it is supposed to be way above 500 for whole face.

Yes - it's sad - I got totally ripped off for $900.00 - be careful out there - learn from this site and DO NOT GO to this clinic! NLS Clinic Dubai!

I cannot believe they made you pay $900 for only 10 lines. That would give you absolutely no result. I hope they give you your money back.

They responded to me - They said they gave me 52 lines - Now I am not sure and it was never made clear to me what a line is - all I now is it took about 15 mins. and the machine zapped me no more than 10 times. Their special that was published said jowl area special for AED109 but when I mentioned it there they said there was no such special but would do the AED70 a line to try.. No I would expect some kind of offer to right this from them, but it seems this is just a hard earned and costly lesson - I won't give up on Ultherapy but I will never go back to NLS in Dubai again. Good luck and success with your choices and please let me know a decent place in Dubai to go after I save up again! Thanks!

Dear Fatma - thank you for your comment - I really hope this saves other women the expense and utterly worthless treatment at this clinic. I am going to report them to the Ultherapy company that they are giving the procedure a bad name. Here is an ad I found on Groupons for Dubai. I am also contacting this Groupons with my complaint. It is a big ad so I hope it fits here. LADIES DO NOT GO TO NLS IT IS A COMPLETE RIPOFF!!!

10 lines makes no sense whatsoever. Even 52 lines makes no sense. ultherapy is generally done by area, lower face, full face, full face and neck etc. I have had this procedure more than once so I'm familiar with it. Generally the treatment would require somewhere between 600 - 1,200 Lines depending on how much of the face is being treated. It is not a pain free procedure. It is actually very painful and numerous posters comment about just how uncomfortable the procedure actually is. I'm not sure what they did but it sure doesn't sound like Ultherapy I hope you can get your money back somehow Glad that you are reporting them as this definitely sounds like a scam
