Great Short Term- Horrible Long Term

ORIGINAL POST

Great Short Term- Horrible Long Term

I decided ultherapy was a great way to address so fullness/laxity in the jawline area without doing anything invasive. My doctor was great...it was actually the RN in the office who did the procedure but I believe it was the procedure itself that caused me to rapidly age. Immediately I did notice a tightening and my lower face felt slimmer and more defined but 3 years later my face has literally just started to fall and sag BAD and I believe it's due to the treatment. I am now 3 years out and because of the condition of my face, I decided to get a lower face lift with another provider. I'll post pics in another review. The lower face lift was the best money I've ever spent!!

I think you still look great! And after 3 yrs u are going to have signs of aging even though i dont see it!
Any type of laser kills collagen contrary to what they tell u. I had a similar experience with freckle removal. Melted my face off after a couple months
Ulherapy is not a laser.
It is similar though in that it uses high temperature focused energy which can be destructive to skin and facial fat.
I use that term bc there are so many different types of "therapy" out there, all generally doing the same thing.
I too suffered the same effects after having Ultherapy performed on my chin area as well. I had a fat transfer that did not work, my lower face is sagging etc etc. Could you please let me know how your face lift went, things I need to consider when choosing a qualified surgeon . I would really appreciate any information you could pass on. Thank you.
Ultherapy lasts at the most, 2 years not 3.
No offence Need4speed but you sound a little unintelligent (or perhaps just naive?) to say the effects last 2 years at most. Permanent DAMAGE, by definition, lasts a lifetime. We ARE talking about DAMAGE here and NOT the purported (and seemingly false) benefits that they market to get hold of your money, which if they existed may well only last 2 years at most!
Calling someone unintelligent is simply not cool especially when you basically did the same thing by making it sound as if permanent damage from Ultherapy is guaranteed. People have different responses to Ultherapy. Some have great results some it doesn't work at all and some have damage.
Talking about unintelligent. You misspelled no offense and you did mean to offend me by calling me unintelligent.
I had the same thing happen to me. Ultherapy prematurely aged me. The sad part is I didn't really need this procedure. I was told it would be good preventive care by building collagen. This definitely was not the case and I've never regretted doing anything as much as this.
