I had lower face Ultherapy yesterday so too soon to see results. However, I wanted to share my experience. My dr's office offered to call in a Rx for a painkiller and anxiety medication or some people take Tylenol and Advil. I'm usually pretty tolerant of pain (and not a fan of drugs) so I decided not to get meds. Ummmmmm, how can I say this....... GET THE MEDS! Yikes, it was painful - and this was the newer model machine that is supposedly not as painful. Can't imagine how it felt with the original model. I hope they make newer models that are less painful by the time I need a touch up ;-)
It really only hurts during the procedure so no residual pain. That's good news because .... did I mention it was painful? Today, I can joke about it but not to talk someone out of the procedure. I just want to strongly recommend taking any pain meds they offer. It may not relieve 100% of the pain but it may help relax. Every muscle in my body was exhausted from my tensing during the entire procedure that I felt I needed a nap!
This morning, I'm still numb in places but not really swollen. I'm surprised I am not bruised since I bruise very easily. If Ultherapy provides the results I expect, I will be thrilled. Geez, we women suffer for our beauty!

No noticeable changes, numbness is 98% gone. I return to the doctor in February to take my 3 month pictures. I sure hope there are improvements at that point, considering the pain and expense.
A day or two after the procedure, I did notice minor bruising in two places on the jawline and I was swollen. If you did not know me, you may not have noticed so I could go to the store, etc. It took several days for the swelling and bruising to disappear, though.

I am so disappointed, I have not seen any change in the last 2.5 months. I have a 3 month check in, in two weeks am curious to hear what they say.
I still hold out a little hope but it is waning fast..............
Has anyone else had this experience at 2.5 months and did you finally see any results or none at all?
