No horror story here yet. I hope none to come. But if I could turn back the clock three days I would not have Ultherapy. I know the benefits are supposed to be yet to come. But actually regardless of that I wish I could change my mind. This will be personal to different people but I'm writing in case someone else like me reads this. I always said when I was young I wouldn't get into treatments to stay looking young - it would be a losing game. And now I've had the treatment I have gone back to feeling that way. At the moment I look ten times worse and older than before the Ultherapy. I hope and pray that this will go away in a few days time. But I am looking at my poor face and wondering what on earth I've done to it: the skin is saggy and soft and puffy. I can't help but feel the treatment can't have been good for it. Even if I do see the benefits in three months time as I know is the timescale, if I go back to looking like I do today after a year or so I will wonder whether that is natural aging or whether the stress I put my skin under is a contributing factor. I know that the idea is that it doesnt have longer term negative effects and I will try to hold on to that. But if I could make the choice again I wouldnt do it - I would go for a run, maybe cut down on alcohol and buy a better face cream instead. And spend £2k on something more productive and affirming that would generate confidence and positivity in a real way. Rather than chasing something that if I sit down and ask myself - is this really important? - I would say no. And accept that we all age. For me, my personality type, I know now that I was right in the first place: treatments like this just aren't for me. Anyway, fingers crossed this awful haggard look passes, and even that I look better than before the treatment. But I doubt I will change my mind about thinking it was the wrong path. I think my clinic is good (I hope so) and for that reason I'm not attaching their name to this.
