Experience with Ultraformer III?

Peaceful779310
Hi, unfortunately I already had ultherapy for my jawline, even though I did a bit of research for it, I only read positive things about the procedure, then after I had it done found these horrific reviews of it... Now I don't have to say how anxious and worried I started to be. I had all 3 depths done with a machine Ultraformer III, it was painful for me, but the doctor said it is normal and pain level differs from patient to patient. This is my 2nd day, I experience tenderness in my jowl and a bit of redness. I am 35 and was seeking treatment for a bit of shagging and volume loss and droopy lip corners, have a square shaped face I think I had excess fat in that area, but not too much (I don't have double chin, but the skin there was definitely loose), I am scared to death that it will ruin my face. Is it possible to prevent the fat loss somehow or the nerve damage? Is it a good idea to take magnesium supplement? Does anyone have experience with Ultraformer III?

Hi, don't stess much and go by your symptoms.. You may be just fine.
I did full face and neck without needing it 3 months ago, lost fat in face (strangely I get a lot more compliments about my looks), and I feel that my body is injured by procedure. I went to 10 different specialist by now, they don't know. I have read every single review and comments on reviews (some multiple times), and you may not have what other people have.
After seeing that nerve damage is common and having strange symptoms, this morning I did full nerve conduction and muscle velocity test (painful and not covered by insurance) for hands and arms because I see fat loss in hands and to get a piece of mind. My nerves and muscles are just fine.
I just lost fat, my joints on arms hurted me sometimes a few years back, now it's just amplified. Volume can be corrected and you may not even need any correction.

Ugh !! I just had ultraformer 3 done on my whole face before reading all of these and now I’m really freaking out and trying to stay calm . I really like my provider who did the procedure and she was well aware that I did not want any fat loss or thinning on my face . I have a very small face with very little fat already . I did not have very lax skin . Now I feel as if my skin is much softer/loser and it may just be fear and anxiety and me over analyzing everything at this point after some of these stories I have read. I have no idea what to look forward to over the next few weeks/months. I was excited for tighter less wrinkled skin NOT the prospect or idea of thinking I’ve permanently ruined my skin for life . Please let me know how you all have turned out .

real self does this.. they hide negative reviews. it's not an honest forum. although you do meet honest people here in the comments section. wishing you all the love and light.

I will try , I tried sending you a private message. I have no idea how this forum actually works. I’m terrible with technology. I pray it all works out fine. I know I would have never done the procedure had I read some of these reviews previously. I’m not having any troubles really with it this far aside from slight jaw pain . My practitioner is great and has reassured me multiple times not to worry that my face will not lose volume. I don’t know how to calm my nerves . I feel like a ticking time bomb for the next 6 months I’m afraid my skin is going to start sagging and wrinkling . :.(

Supplements- liposomal vitamin C helps with healing, vit D, omegas..
For nerves- Alpha lipoic acic, magnesium, B complex, Q10..
Collagen, take curcumin if you feel you have inflammatin, take Glycin- it helps for burn victims..
I took neurontin and prednisone for a short while.. Did prp at 3 weeks post op and it helped with burning feeling. I hope you will be ok

Hi, thanks a lot for your reply and tips regarding supplements, I am already taking some of those while try to calm myself down and hope for the best... I am happy that your nerve test came out positive, I keep my fingers crossed for you. I had 3 sessions of Prp PRIOR the ultherapy (starting form March), so I hope that it counts even if it was before, the doctor said that it complements the Ultherapy. My other hope is that the Ultherapy itself did not last longer than 30 absolute maximum 40 minutes... Even though I felt it was aggressive, the doctor said that she did 2x series of ultherapy for her mum (who is obviously older, but still kinda gives me hope). How long after your procedure you started to see the fat loss?

its weird that you couldn't find negative reviews till after, the same thing happened to me as well with another treatment. I really think there is some type of a censoring thing happening

Hi did you recover ok? Thinking of going for this brand for jawline too, have a slight double chin so would like it to look sharper
