About a year ago I started to notice sagging around my jaw line and the skin on my neck becoming slack. After debating for 6 months -- and despite some of the cautionary stories I'd read on Real Self -- I decided to try Ultherapy (mid face and neck). My biggest concern was the pain, which turned out to be much more manageable than expected. The nurse offered -- and I accepted -- both Valium and Vicodin as well as numbing cream. The pain I experienced with meds was about the same as an IPL without meds -- it wasn't fun but it was totally manageable. The procedure lasted 70 minutes and I had no post-procedure pain. After an hour there is was no redness or bruising. I will post photos and updates monthly.

I did not have any bruising, redness or lumps post procedure -- all concerns I had going in. I had slight tenderness on both cheekbones for a couple of days but this is now gone.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Pain is also my biggest fear. If you have any pre and post pictures you care to share that would be great.

Well they say no pain no gain. I so think it was worth it. I would do it again.

Why do you even bother posting here? Your comments do not serve any purpose...go somewhere else to spread your negativity.

Like I've read in other posts I did start to experience soreness around the jawline starting at day 4. It's only tender when I wash my face, etc. I don't notice it other times.

I agree! The post-procedure pain was minimal. Look forward to hearing your results, too!

LA, I have to tell you to ignore these ignorant people who go on this site believing everything and everyone is a "plant" and that we are getting paid to post good reviews. It's happened to me twice and while it is annoying, for the most part people are very supportive here. It IS called REALself for a reason. I hope you get everything out of the procedure that you wanted. I'd love to see some pics if you have some . Best wishes, Jill

At one month there was no change. Hopefully there will be something to show at two months!
