Ultherapy?

[Anonymous]

I have mild sagging on my neck and am not yet ready for a lift. Has anyone had success with Ultherapy? Or any other non surgical approaches?

I actually came onto the forum to ask this question! I've done Sofwave once a year for the past two years and was very pleased with the results. The most noticeable results were around my brow, which I almost didn't do because I didn't think I needed it. I chose it over Ultherapy because it supposedly has a better safety profile. (I'm nervous about nerve injury from Ultherapy, even though I know it's rare.) But, Ultherapy is supposed to offer more noticeable and longer lasting results. You may also want to consider Thermage. I haven't tried it but I know someone who was very happy with it.

I did Ultherpy for my brows. It did zero, nada, zip and hurt like hell.

My facial plastic surgeon had me do ulttherapy in my early 40s with the intent to tighten my skin and to stay off a facelift for longer. It’s supposed to take a few months to work and honestly, I don’t know if it worked or not.

Cut to today, I’m 52 and been researching facial plastic surgery/ face lifts. Turns out that ulttherapy causes so much scar tissue under your skin, that it makes even the best board certified facial plastic surgeons job really tough to do a facelift on someone who has had ulttherapy.


I’ve learned that most lasers work because they cause scar tissue, which prompts collagen production. Sadly, this makes it more difficult for a facelift in the future, as the scar tissue makes the face lift much trickier for even the best surgeon

Good to know! I was aware that Sculptuta complicates facelifts but did not know this about Ultherapy. I did Ultherapy for my brows and it made absolutely no improvement.
