If you go in to get your neck treated, brace yourself
ORIGINAL POST
1st Ultherapy session ever today
I had my first Ultherapy session ever today. I had her do it on my neck. It hasn't even been 24 hours so I can't say how effective it is yet, but I can't fathom doing another one in the neck area, it is PAINFUL. It feels like a bunch of burning pinches over and over and over and over again for 2 hours! I was dying by the end. I'm not kidding, it feels like torture, at least, it did for me and I normally have a decent pain tolerance but after 75 minutes or so, I was so ready to be done. I refuse to do this again on my neck unless I go somewhere they provide laughing gas.
I can't speak to what it feels like on other areas (face or body) and I know the neck area is quite thin but please be warned, it felt like TORTURE. You feel pain right from the start, but as your skin gets more and more sensitive and you start feeling it over and over and over and over again for hours, it gets even worse. It is BRUTAL.
Currently, I feel a little sore and swollen. Other than that, everything looks and feels ok. Just be warned, if you go in to get your neck treated, brace yourself, you are in for a WORLD of non-stop pain for 2 hours. The technician who administer the treatment on me was very competent, experienced, good at what she did, so it's not a matter of that, it's just PAINFUL.
Can't say whether it's worth it or not yet, but I won't be getting it done on my neck again unless I can find a place that uses laughing gas to numb me. I can NOT endure that wide awake and sober ever again.
