How Do You Think Celebrities Fixed the Damage from Ultherapy?

I don't know if I can wait a year. How will I live my life? I'm already struggling with work and social activities and I just want to stay home. This is so depressing.

I really wish I knew! I wish they'd be vocal about negative experiences so others won't be harmed. I'm sure there HAS to be celebs who tried ultherapy, alot of them try everything available. I'm sure we're not the only ones who did it. But I wish I knew how everything gets fixed.

I think they are getting fillers done simultaneously to mask the deterioration, and perhaps sporadic fat transfers here and there. Tamra Judd from RHOC just got a facelift (with fat transfers, I'm sure) because of "loss of body fat" (her words). The fillers can only do so much, but I do think it masks the affects of ultherapy, and many practitioners administer things like Restylin *at the same time* they do ultherapy so it's hard to gauge which is which (probably to cover up the potential volume loss if it does occur).
I know KimK had a pointy, thinner chin and jawline for a while for due to her ultherapy, but now it's suddenly fuller. I attribute that to emergency fillers.

I'm really sorry but my privacy is important to me. But there are many other women who did it and posted photos of damage. I plead with you not to do it. Even if by a miracle you get good results, they would be barely noticeable and would barely last. So the risk of damage outweighs any benefit. I tried so hard to look for good results to have some hope, but I saw nothing impressive. I went through so many reviews here on realself, it was either damage or nothing. Nothing is the more merciful outcome. Please look through many reviews before you decide to do anything. In the end it's up to you. But I wish with all my heart I did my research before.....

And it's not just physical appearance that changes. I have pain in my eyes, cheekbones, jaw, and neck that haven't gone away in months, no matter how many pain killers I take. I pray there's no permanent damage to my underlying nerves and muscles and bone

Thank you for your reply. I am so sorry about all the emotional and physical pain you are going through and I wish with all my heart that you can find something to fix or improve the bad results. I totally relate with you since I had Dermapen 2 months ago and it ruined my face. I have no elasticity, not collagen, not volume, and look 10 years older than before.
Wish you the best!

Hi, did you do dermapen with radio frequency?

Derma pen was used , but not sure if it was with radio frequency

Was it called "Dermapen RF"?

The reason I ask is because there is an important distinction when using radio frequency waves (deep heating) with a dermapen versus using it "cold" - using JUST a microneedling device which creates microwounds (tiny punctures) in the skin, which collagen thickness to heal those microwounds. If the deep heating effects of radio frequency are ADDED to the microneedling device you run the risk of fat loss. That's why I never advocate the use of deep heating treatments or lasers on the face. That's why I was curious if you had a Dermapen RF treatment done because a dermapen treatment by itself should do no such damage. How much did it cost? That will give you an idea, because the RF treatments are more expensive.

Correction: microwounds are created, thus the healing produces thicker collagen.

$250

Interesting point ; I can ask the esthetician

Yeah, it sounds like it included RF. A simple microneedling treatment (I think) would cost less.

Hi Caro,

I forgot to ask; have you ever had IPL treatments?

have you done anything to find out if you have damage? I need to figure out how. also did you do your whole face? around the eyes?

Sorry it's Bargepole not ( Borehole ) an English expression..

Lol like christy Brinkley apparently all she uses is her special cream lmao

I sent for her cream..ha still waiting for the transformation...It's all about money isn't it?
We are foolish to believe it...Her face is so different,that didn't come from a jar of cream...
I watch a t.v. programme on English t.v. called botched bodies...It shows up bad surgery done all kinds of procedures,and then a couple of surgeons remedy the problems...interesting to see the difference in skilled doctors and then bodgers...one was a bad thread lift..

Oh Christie brinkley is now a paid spokesperson for Ultherapy! An i used to like her as interesting garden info. She posts sometimes....sighs...I know the dentist who did her teeth in nyc as he sets the impressions on his desk to," sell" you on him. Ugh. No thanks. Greed is really sinful.

Brinkley cosmetic dentist, whom I don't like, is Dr Larry rosenthal if he's correct telling me that. Nyc.

Did you do ultherapy? What.happened with you?

But not all stars have kept their looks. Some unfortunately look seriously worse. It's sad. I also think a few years ago nobody knew about anything negative about ultherapy. I'm sure the stars thought they were getting the best most updated treatment before anyone else.

I'm really glad you did, and I sincerely hope it's for real. It's just a little strange that I clicked on your profile and this is comment is the only interaction you ever made. Wierd...
But again, I really hope you're telling the truth and really are happy.

Renn i would love to see pics

Another suspicious comment that is the users only one .commenting on an ultherapy post about how they loved it.Why would you even bother to leave that type of comment on a post where a person was harmed and looking for remedy?Its tacky

I'm sorry, are you a medical spa commenting on behalf of your clients or did you have it done yourself? Your profile name is confusing.
I apologize but your comment sounds very rehearsed and inauthentic, but that just could be my opinion.
Again, I restate my utter confusion as to why positive comments about ultherapy are coming from newly created profiles with absolutely zero activity other than that one comment glorifying ultherapy. It just seems awfully suspicious. I want to believe you, I really do. I made this post to create a discussion. I want to hear different opinions in order to gain perspective. And also, it gives me hope to hear positive reviews. However, sadly, the only real comments seem to be people who have had negative experiences. The positive ones are just strange. They sound too forced and their profiles are unrealistic.
It's really unfortunate. Contrary to what may appear, I would prefer there to be real positive reviews so that I know there's hope for me.

Agreed, there is nothing positive about burning someone could you imagation the way someone would look if ulthera was preformed to the surface skin omg it would not be used! Alot of women cant get anything done after ulthearpy due to the exterme scar tissue!! I wish these drs would take a deer look at why they become drs, look back at thier 12 year old selves when becoming a Dr was to help people and make a difference in the world to give people a better quality of life not destroy it for money!!! They have the power and knoweldge to help and have this machine taken off the market.

I am the owner of a Med Spa. When we offer treatments, I have it done so that I can honestly tell clients what they can expect, and not just what Rep had said. I too am frustrated about all the negative comments. We want to deliver good results every time, and are careful not to over sell.

Thank xage for your commet, its honorable that you preform treatment on yourself before patients and generally care about the outcome, is there hope that if ulthera did cause fat loss that it can regenerate? Naturally.

She was so pretty before. Now she looks like a robot who never really smiles, like Victoria Beckham.

I think they were all taught how to smile with their eyes...cause they were told that smiling gives you wrinkles.....everywhere.....eyes, nasio folds, etc........OR...... they had a ton of botox so they CAN'T smile

Christie Brinkley (who I think looks FABULOUS, and whatever work she's doing is being done tastefully) says the most important thing you can wear is your smile. And she's right! :)) That scowling, beady-eyed look has to go!

Christy Brinkley was just on et raving about ultraterapy and injections..

Oh no. Great. But, she's done a sh*t ton of other things too, so we'll never know the full story with her (she'll never tell all her secrets). Heck, she might be throwing that buzzword out there to distract from admitting to a facelift. Whatever she's doing (the totality of it) looks amazing. Maybe a *tad* overfilled in cheeks, but she does look good.

I just seen that!!!

She has to maintain her face lift

She does look great hopefully it stays that way

She looks depressed too. She doesn't even crack a smile anymore. I wonder why she doesn't say anything against them, to warn others.

I agree. I think that lack of vibrancy and joy lends to the flat affect of her face. She just looks empty.

I think (tragically) another victim of ultherapy (or some kind of deep heating treatment to the face) is Katy Perry. She used to have such a beautiful, round fullness to her face. Now she's just flat and thin on both sides of her face (shrinking head). On top of that, she just looks sad, like the light is gone. Her new album is called "Witness". I have not heard it, but it IS hard to witness her breakdown. She's aged overnight.

If it's true then it's devastating! Why doesn't anyone talk about it or warn others. In a place like Hollywood how has this not been spread as news! It's killing me...

What?? Y'all are trying. Sophia is gorgeous and absolutely smiling and happy. I follow her on Instagram and she's as hilarious and vibrant as ever. Katy Perry is in her 30's, many women, especially in the entertainment industry where weight fluctuates, lose fat in their faces. I don't think either of these women look much different, and i think you're judging women's looks super harshly.

The only thing different about Kim's face is the fillers in her cheeks and lips, plus the contour make up.

Well I was a well paid runway model. Til ultherapy. Ugh. It's true the damage an i wish more of my colleagues would do others the favor to speak up.

Why did realself delete these? @ tuffy1 you're very considerate in your responses an certainly not aggressive in discourse. I'd like to read her comments @ realself she's a great contributor. Thanks all.

Thank you for the kind words rdinca.
Many of my comments have been deleted in their words "for recommending" things. I'm realizing this is a very doctor/surgery promoting site, I've even had a Dr criticism post of mine deleted. I'm definitely on the conservative side of treatments, and I usually advocate for non-surgical/laser risky treatments when possible because I practice them on myself to avoid some of the more extreme/risky procedures, but because I'm not a doctor, I was reprimanded. It's turned me off a bit (that's why you see me on here less) because this is definitely a medical procedure promoting site and I spend more time researching and talking about wholistic alternatives. And I've reached out to people who've been negatively impacted by botched procedures sharing those alternatives. That's seen as "recommending". Yet, I see so many other people doing the same things (sharing tips, recommending things, etc). I think the moderators are using personal bias`s when determining which comments don't follow their guidelines. This is not an entirely open forum. To be honest, I've grown totally leary of surgical stuff and have seen more harm then good on here.

This is Totally an advertisment site for ps to market themselves, they will never awnser a question if you ask for natural solutions oh wait they say filler, botox and ulthera are natural, but they cost hundreds to thousands, the only helpful aspects of this site is the reviews but it definately censored!!!

Tuffy can you please dm us any tips you have for healing from this damage. I'm suffering right now and Im open to different ideas.

Hi Sharon,
This is what you sent to me (copied and pasted from my inbox)...

We appreciate your contributions to RealSelf, but wanted to let you know that one or more of your comments had to be removed because they did not adhere to RealSelf’s Code of Conduct. Specifically, your posts included links to other sites, such as eBay, and you were giving medical advice to other community members.

I definitely see those same talking points parroted in answers, and often they don't respond to the direct question being asked, but when answered it's ALWAYS with a suggestion of another medical procedure to "fix" it. There are so many people just looking for real help having already experienced something traumatic and costly, yet the answer is always invariably to get "more" of something else. It feels like a game of spin the wheel, but we're the ones who lose if things go wrong. I've simply offered humble suggestions to heal the skin (as an esthetician, but I guess that doesn't count), and also from my own use. There are so many people making suggestions. I don't know why I was dinged. This is definitely a surgery/laser and doctor promoting site.
The most I've ever "recommended", again from my own use and experience is handheld dermastamping, not the MACHINE dermapen (again, another machine that can cause trauma to the skin). Of course, there's not alot of money in THAT for doctors so it's not considered a "real" treatment (it must be a machine to be good!! Enter sarcasm ///.
Everything I've suggested you can get over the counter. And yes, I've made the mistake of posting links so people can find it? I guess that's a total threat to the industry? Perhaps.
I will DM in the future lest I steal one penny publicly from the industry. Sarcasm///

I hope you continue to share your personal tips, that not medical advice!!! A dr most likely reported you, I reported a confrontational reveiw and nothing happened, in not a dr so I guess it's not serious and the Drs always post outside links and videos

Our contributions to this community is just as important as the Drs if it weren't for us there would be no realself!!

Sorry for grammar not sure if it's me or my phone lol

Btw RS intercepts pm's

Yes, Sharaz, I see and hear everything you're saying. Thank you for your contributions and constant lifting up and supporting others. Sometimes that's all we can do is just listen, and offer humble advice.

Will do! ;)

Tuffy it means more than you know

Well I appreciate objective and alternative views. Devils advocate is profound an what makes true free speech. And an interesting Website people on both sides," love". Ty all appreciating that an contributing, I hope it continues,as well as absolutely Free Speech.

I'm so sorry that's happened to you.
