Unfortunately, the subtle results I had from ultherapy only lasted a year. My jowls and neck have continued their sag trend, and are now to the point that I've scheduled a mini facelift, which I'm undergoing tomorrow. This is the only way that I can see having noticeable improvements. I'm also getting fat injections in my nasolabial folds and frown lines. I've started a new review with before pics for that procedure.

16 months since Ultherapy
It's been a little over a year and I'm relieved to say my ulthera results are still holding nicely. I'm a little disappointed that my neck had never tightened much, but it's not bad either. My jowls have definitely improved! I feel I look much longer than I did.

Thank you so much for the follow up! I went ahead and this time around I didn't wait so at exactly at the one year mark post Ultherapy, I had it done again. I am thrilled with my results! I believe that not waiting for my face/neck to go all the way back to how it was pre Ultherapy ( which for me seemed to be at the 18 mo mark) allowed the results to build upon each other. I am currently 3 months post my most recent Ultherapy and I'm very happy. The pain of it, not so much, I cried but I made a joke just after the procedure "I'll see you in a year to do it all over again"

It's been a year and my jowls are gone, but the saggy neck's still there. :( I believe it was even saggier before the procedure, so it probably did help some, but my saggy neck was the #1 reason why I decided to have the procedure in the first place.

Hey there. I would recommend you go and get Ultherapy again now if you are at your 1 year mark. I am. My appointment is scheduled. I felt like waiting nearly 2 yrs (~1.5?) was way too long in between the last time and my face and neck returned to it's pre-Ultherapy state (it was very noticeable to me!) I also think that multiple Ultherapies improve one another. Also, Ultherapy isn't a total fix but an improvement. Just a thought. Loved your review, good job and thanks!

No!!!!! It is too unpredictable! You mat get damage to your fat layer. I got damaged and by the reviews, so have a kot of other women. You guys are lucky that you got good results but this thing is like playing the roulette. Maybe try PRP instead. To keep youthful. Dont use technologies that are also used to burn fat on your faces. I was happy with the first, i am having damage and problems with the second.

How many Ultherapies have you done? And are they to your entire face? Including eyes? Maybe only jawline that is why you only have positive results? Mine is really not good. :(

To respond, and thank you very much for your comments. I have read other's comments about Ultherapy on here. I just disagree. I do respect other's opinions and I hear what you say. However, Ultherapy does not "melt fat". It just doesn't. I have so many opinions on the subject! Please Ultherapy my thighs then and melt that fat! A technology that "melts fat" is not going to "melt fat" on just the face and no where else. Whether it be that people here are over analyzing their faces and then realizing how much they have aged, or Ultherapy didn't work as it was hoped because people have unrealistic expectations I don't know. I don't want to demean others' experiences but it's not been my experience that Ultherapy "ruins faces" as 8 have read on here. It is so ludicrous to me. I have a lot of experience as a patient exploring all the technologies out there and I just disagree with you. Again, thank you for your response.

I can only speak from experience. In my case, it did burn my fat. My face is a lot thinner, my skin thinner as well in only 8 weeks since Ultherapy. Maybe your technician was better, maybe your skin reacts different or maybe the wrong transducer was used on me. I dont know. But my face is a lot smaller and saggier in 8 weeks.
Doctors have confirmed than in fact ultherapy can melt your fat. I believe it does. Plus, i believe it is the same. Technology type as liposonix which in fact is for loosing fat.

Exactly my thoughts. If it actually melted fat people would be making a ton of money out of it. I also don't want to discard what happened to other Poole but I fi tut hard to believe that Ultherapy can melt fat. If it does book me in! I'd love to have leaner tights or perhaps a flatter tummy! I had Ultherapy done about 2 months ago and the comments I read here only served to keep me awake at night reading waking up in the morning to a saggy melted face. It didn't happen so far.

Sorry about the typos. Guess I was overexcited and faked to check before posting it.

I'm happy with my results (10 months out) but I would *NEVER* recommend this procedure nor will I ever have it again. Too risky.

So true! I was also very happy with my results the first time around. Very! That was 3 years ago. Lasted about 11/2 years and then progressively went back. This second time it is bad! I have had a lot of fat loss. It is like playing the roulotte. Too unpredictable!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you do have collagen/volume increase over the next few months.

My doctor told me that used incorrectly or used to specifically target fat, ultherapy can result in fat loss. He also said it is very insufficient in this regard. He said he targets fat (double chin) with patients who want to lose volume but ultherapy doesn't work well for reducing fat. All that sad, I think that some people do try to scare others away from the technology not because they care but because they want to get back at the company for what they perceive as a bad result. That chick, who says she is a model who is always claiming ultherapy ruined her face is a prime example of someone who is obsessed with this and posts multiple reviews and comments. She is ridiculous. Funny thing about her pics is that she got a beautiful eye brow lift that she hates. Her eyes are beautiful even when she tries to exaggerate her expressions. Considering everything I have read, I am not dissuaded one bit. Its like any other procedure. There are risks-and those risks are very rare-rare enough for me to for it. Good luck to all.

Great comment! Could you further clarify what your doctor said about the fat loss in the chin area? I'm desperately trying to get rid of double chin and jowls. I'm currently getting Kybella treatments but am considering ultherapy after. I'm really scared of Lipo :-/

I had one treatment of Kybella about 9 weeks ago in anticipation of getting ultherapy. Kybella is FDA approved for double chin fat loss. Ultherapy is not. However, I read somewhere that the ultherapy technology is being investigated for potential use as a tool to reduce fat and this is because of antidotal reports from doctor's about their patient's fat loss due to the ultherapy procedure. Basically I believe that if you are interested in ultherapy find the most experienced provider you can and ask to see his/her results. I am very comfortable with doing this procedure next Wednesday! No worries here.

If a doctor told me it is impossible for ultherapy to cause fat loss even if used incorrectly, I run. J.S. BTW my husband is a doctor of Internal Medicine. I think I just view medicine and science with more credibility than some.
