Here are my photos. I dont feel the results are significant enough to justify the cost, pain and down time. Fillers would have done a better job. Was hoping for more neck improvement but still have loose bands.

I think you look beautiful.

thank you! You are very kind.

I think your results look very good! I can definitely see a difference in your before and after photos. You look at least 10 years younger now! Your pictures have convinced me to do this procedure. Thanks for sharing!

tbh, I see very little difference with before and after. You look really lovely though.

Two month post treatment

Helpful5368
All the bruising, red rake marks, swelling are gone. Dont really see any marked improvement in neck or face now that the swelling has gone down. For the first month my skin felt thick and lumpy (swelling) but has returned to normal. Still have the lax skin in my neck. Dont really see any improvement in my face either.

It was an expensive experiment to see if I could defer a costly lower face lift. My advice, save your money and get a lift. This treatment isnt effective. It could be my age (58) and this may be better suited for women under 45, but I took he chance as my skin is in much better shape than others my age (very limited sun exposure, non smoker).

Four days after treatment

I have read multiple reviews and think my horror story is simply operator error at the hands of untrained staff. In addition to the red rake marks all over my face (from misuse, too strong power) which are really internal burns, I now have broken capillaries, sever bruising, my entire lower face is a rainbow of green, yellow, purple and red.i wont be leaving the house anytime soon!

It will, anytime you use any device with thermal energy unfortunately, those are some of the side effects

I just had Ultherapy don't on my lower face and neck. I was given numbing cream and I took 800 milligrams of ibuprofen. I was offered pain meds to be called in by a doctor prior but I don't like how they make me feel. The session was almost unbearable! I had red rake marks on my face and neck. Today is six days post treatment and they are finally dissipating but I can still feel them to the touch. I am also had swollen knots and black am and blue in certain areas. I was told no down time but here I am looking like I was in a car wreck! Hopefully you're doing better now....I can only hope because I'm following your lead....

It took four weeks for all the swelling to go down, two weeks for the bruising to disappear. I dont see any real results from this treatment. Just wasted $$$$ and a lot of pain for no real improvement. Should have saved my $$$$ towards lower face lift.

Omg you poor lady that sounds horrendous... Wad it a doctor who performed your precedure??? I have to say it really is amazing how there is so many negatives regarding ulthearphy... I hope you recover & hopefully that you do see improvement...
March 19, 2020
I'm so sorry you have had a bad experience... I hope it will possibly show improvement eventually.. I hear it can take time to see results... Thank you for sharing....

Ideal Image in Halethorpe MD. Perhaps if I had gone to a physician I would have been given proper pain meds and not been so bruised. Live and learn.

Scrugga and Helpful, how are you getting on. I'm 3 days post and feeling traumatised. I can't believe at the moment that I did this to myself. 'Non invasive' made me take this lightly.

For sure...and the Ultherapy website only shows what they want to show. Let the buyer beware.
