The procedure looks very interesting - I have seen a few similar devices but not as well packaged/marketed as this one, have a look at:

I would see if I can find a practitioner in the UK and will find out more.

My PS who does my fillers and tox is one of only a handful of doctors in the US that is currently using this Ultherapy device...My sister is considering having this procedure done with my PS and has a consult with him in a few weeks....
If she does happen to get this instead of an upper and lower bleph, I will be sure to post any results she has....treatment costs anywhere from around $800 to $2000 depending on what areas you have done to the full face which is the high end price from what I am reading online....we shall see what my PS charges.... |

I'm not understanding what exactly the benefit of the ultrasound is. Is the intensity of the current or frequency of the machine tailored to suit the skin by looking at the ultrasound images?
Bren21 - I look forward to hearing what happens with your sister. |

Update....my sister had her Ultherapy treatment done today. The doctor she went to charges $1500 for half face, $2900 for full face. She decided upon the half-face treatment for the upper face. She has a saggy right brow which has been her nemesis for years...
They gave her a muscle relaxer to take prior to the therapy which she only took half a dose. She said the treatment felt like hot pokers on her face...pain wasn't too bad, but noticeable to her. She likened it to the pain of getting a tattoo, but with heat. The half upper face included her forehead, the whole eye area down to her upper cheek area. Her skin was red for about 20 minutes after but by the time we got back to my place, it was gone and her face looked normal with makeup. Immediately after treatment her face felt a little tight, of course due to inflammation from the procedure. What she can expect from this per her doctor: results can take up to 3 months post procedure to show. Some get results showing within a few weeks...some take longer...the doctor stated that if she did not get results with this first round, they would perform another round 3 months out free of charge as he stated about 20% do not respond the first time...
According to him, results can last several years for some people...
Anyway, will give you updates as I get them from her...but that is the scoop so far |

I was able to sit in on the procedure with my sister and what I gather from what the nurse said to me is that the ultrasound is used to see exactly where they want the point of "injury" to go...first they used a ruler and white pencil to measure and mark her face. Then while treating, they used the ultrasound to see certain landmarks of the skull that they want to avoid giving injury to...I guess they have very specific areas that they treat as she did only a certain number of pulses per area and was pretty specific where she was placing the probe... |
