Update: well over three months now and I see no change.. Perhaps collagen has been generated "behind the scenes," perhaps not. There wasn't much to complain about to begin with but I expected a little tightening, not none at all. I have started using a red light (on my face...although I should probably put one outside my window as well to pay for the procedure). Also taking fish collagen capsules, both of which should aid the regeneration of collagen. We'll see...

I saw the doctor yesterday and he told me that in his opinion, I would be unlikely to see any change if I hadn't already seen any. He said that the very rare person may see a difference even after six months but stressed that this is unlikely to be the case for me. What a waste of money. I still believe that this doctor is among the best but the procedure is not worth the price.

I'm glad to hear your doctor was honest with you that he didn't expect to see a change at this point. That is a HUGE bummer. I can only imagine how disappointed you must feel. :(

Six weeks almost and no change at all.

Oh no :( I'm guessing you are starting to feel a bit discouraged by not seeing change yet?

I am rather, Megan. I realize I didn't have much to change, but, according to Ulthera, it's the people with little in the way of sagging who benefit the most. It all seems a little smoke and mirror-sy! I'm hoping that my collagen has been regenerated somewhat and so I can write this off as a "preventive" experience.

Yeah, I have to admit, I have been surprised by how many people are accepting of the "its a subtle change" explanation with the cost, especially when compared to the change that is seen with injectable fillers.

I know. However, an injectable filler is way too "fake" for me. I have had them in the past, in my NLs and somehow the face does not move naturally afterwards. It looks stiff. I can spot filler very quickly in others' faces. The whole marketing of Ulthera is beginning to irk me. It is way overpriced and then only lasts a year to 18 months if you are fortunate enough to see any difference.
