Ultherapy damage - melted fat in my face & aged me 10 years overnight
The nurse used the deepest setting. My derm recommend it as a preventative/ maint. Treatment. I didn’t have any sagging as demonstrated in the before photo. Ultherapy melted the fat in my face and aged me 10 years overnight. It’s been a year and it seems to be getting worse. I’ve had two corre...
Not able to get thru 1st 3 minutes of treatment because pain was intolerable
I was not able to get thru the first 3 minutes of treatment because the pain was intolerable. Ideal Image gave me a "Pre & Post Ultherapy Treatment Instruction sheet that stated: "Ibuprofen may be taken prior the treatment as directed", so I took the max (2) prior to my appointment. After...
My folding curtain cheeks are still the same
The laser procedure is meant to produce collagen production in about 3 months, a then maintained with an annual upkeep appointment per the doctor. It’s been 6 months and my folding curtain cheeks are still the same. I also had unexpected horizontal lines as a result of an extra zap to my left c...
Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation
I would not recommend Ultherapy. People claim this is a procedure with no risks but I have been left with a dark spot called "post inflammatory hyperpigmentation" I did not read this was a side effect anywhere. Nor was this ever explained to me as a side effect. My dermatologist has now given...

Severe swelling with welts - left a scar on my lower face
I had lower face Ultherapy done at Ideal Image and experienced severe swelling with welts on my face. I called them and they said it probably just means I’ll have really good results. 3 months later, after everything finally healed, one of the welts left a HOLE IN MY FACE. I contacted the m...
Ultherapy was a letdown - no improvement and more aging
I have been holding on to the hope that Ultherapy would revive my skin naturally for several years. I have been saving up, although it is hard to plan costs when there is no transparency on pricing. The going “special” rate seems to be 1000 for half your face. So when I saw a $1200 Gro...
I’m very concerned that this going to cause permanent scarring
I did plenty of research before I chose to move forward with Ultherapy and Ideal Image. At no point was it ever discussed with me that blistering, visible lines and deformities in the skin could or would be outcomes of the procedure. During the procedure on my chest it was extremely painful, and...
Updated: 6 mo post- NO effect at all.
I’ve had Botox in my forehead about twice a year for the last few years, and the occasional skin peel, but never anything beyond that. In the last year I was aghast to realize the skin where my double-chin met my neck was starting to wrinkle, and I hated how my double chin just looked saggy (...
