Ultherapy is More Painful Than I Thought!! - Henderson, NV

Not worth the money

$1,350
It has been almost 5 months now, and I feel my neck has actually gotten saggier. I wish now that I would've saved the $1300 and put it towards the neck lift I will be working on getting next year. The procedure seemed to refresh my face a little, and maybe made my face a little more tight, but it did not "lift" my saggy skin under my chin.

I totally agree with you! It was not worth the $4600 I spent on a whole face and neck. I saw no results. Hard lesson to learn. My advice is still to Botox and fillers to look youthfull or go under the knife.

How does Botox help a saggy chin? And if it really does work, where do I have them stick me? I did ask the doctor about it and he didn't even suggest Botox.

Hi there. I looked at your before and after pictures and I can definitely see an improvement to your neck area and you look younger with better skin tone overall. :-)

I'm amazed at how differently people seem to react to this proc. I didn't have hardly any reaction, except the bony parts of the face where it's god-awful. I wish there were more objective studies as to how effective it is. I feel like I've had an improvement, but it's hard to really tell, and it's a LOT of money, so you kind of want some reassurance.

I don't think I would do this without anesthesia based on what you said. Although they say Liposonix and cool sculpting isn't painful and I took 2 vicodin and 2 valium and still felt it lol so I can only imagine!

I had thermatite. Doc says sagging will subside and it may take up to 6 weeks to see tightening.

I actually had thermatite and he said it may take up to 6 weeks to see tightening! I sure hope it does otherwise this was a WASTE of $

Yah I feel the same way. But I did research on every website I could find, showing all good reviews. Plus it was endorsed by Dr Oz, Martha Stewart, The Doctors, The View. Not that that matters, I'm sure they were paid. So ill wait...!
