They’re Here! My Ultherapy Before and After Photos
October 19th, 2012
;
I must love you ladies a lot to post my Ultherapy Before and After photos. The lighting is no lover here. Any old boyfriends or men who adore me (including you Henry) click away. Because what follows are some pretty unattractive photos of me a la mug shots of Heather Locklear post-bender. They’re not flattering, but they are scientifically accurate.
As you may or may not know I had an Ultherapy treatment with the fabulous, funny Dr. Rebecca Fitzgerald four months ago. I detail my adventure HERE.
Ultherapy is “a novel micro-focused ultra-sound modality for non-invasive, non-surgical skin rejuvenation and lifting.”
For a few years I’ve noticed my neck is taking a dive and wanted to firm things up. What I didn’t realize is that the Ultherapy wand isn’t yet used right on the neck. They haven’t yet developed an instrument that can pass over the larynx accurately. So Ultherapy is targeted at the area just under the jawline, which, by virtue of proximity, can help lift the neck.
Here are some Befores and Afters of my jawline:
Left jawline Before
Left jawline After
Right jawline Before
Right jawline After
The changes are subtle, but the overall effect is tighter, lifted skin.
Here’s a brief video of more Before and Afters. I’m not wearing any make-up (except a little lip gloss in the Afters), the lighting and angles are exactly the same. And while I pray I’m more attractive in person, I do think my face looks more youthful and defined in the After photos.
Many of you wanted to know why the Ultherapy treatment is so expensive ($3500 for the whole face and the jawline – considerably less if you do just the face or just the jawline). Dr. Fitzgerald explained that because this is brand new technology customers are paying for research and development and product costs. She likened it to any other kind of technology – computers, iphones, televisions – they all start out expensive and over time become more affordable, which she says will be the case with Ultherapy.Full disclosure: My Ultherapy treatment was complimentary so I’m more likely than somebody who paid full price to be happy with my results. Having said that I am very happy with the results. I had breakfast last week with my friend Jana, who I hadn’t seen in six months and the first thing she said was that I didn’t look 47, but 35.
For once I wasn’t fishing for compliments, she just handed that sucker out. I asked her to say it again so I could record it and play it during the night while I slept.
So here’s my overall suggestion. Look at my Before and Afters closely. But look at the overall effect of the treatment rather than the bits and pieces of my face and see if you think the subtle positive change is worth the price to you.
If you’re someone with a healthy amount of disposable income I’d highly recommend the procedure. If you’re someone scrimping and saving for a tighter neck I might wait a little longer until the Ultherapy price comes down, or until you feel ready to have a surgical procedure.
If there’s anything else you’d like to know please comment and I will be happy to respond.

Wait…no scars? No needles? I wish I could find someone to do it on me for free too! I’ve never had cosmetic surgery (unless…does lasik count?) but this sounds like the perfect non-scary kind.
No harm was done to the patient. And I was nervous beforehand.
I’m glad it worked for you.
You look great! Thank you for sharing. I can definitely see the difference.
Thanks Christie!
I can see the difference! Thanks for sharing. I’d definitely consider if I could afford it. =)
I don’t know if I’ve ever told you this before but…you have ahhmazing eyebrows! xo
Why thank you.
Darn it I’m unable to access your youtube! Says it doesn’t match any documents
I wanna see. I wanna see. (whinny voice included)
Up oh, I’ll go check that.
You are lovely before and after, I don’t see a difference. Certainly not for that $!
As we all know nothing is more important than being attractive. I applaud your proactiveness!
A man after my own heart.
Thank you for taking this one for the team and trying out the procedure when it’s still in “research and development.” You look fabulous and I saw you in person before and after.
You’re welcome. But I draw the line when it comes to high colonics.
lovely before dont see the difference after.. i know you got this gratis, but before anyone else does this, your husbands love you!! but take before and after pics of thier wallets and , well im just saying..
[...] THE RESULTS ARE HERE! /* Share and Enjoy [...]
Thanks for sharing! The results are subtle, but honestly I didn’t think you needed any tightening up anyway. But I totally get it because I’m not loving my neck right now either.
Hi,
Thanks for sharing your story. I am supposed to have the procedure this week but I have to say I am wavering on whether to have it done or not. I have read so many reviews that say how painful it is and quite a few people report numbness and tenderness that persists for a while. I was wondering if you could share any insight into that part of the treatment?
Hi Kim — sorry it took so long for me to get back to you. Yes, the procedure was uncomfortable, but not to the point of being truly painful. I didn’t suffer any numbness or tenderness after. However, I have to admit I myself couldn’t really see a difference in my Before and After photos. For me it wouldn’t have been worth the cost. But there are other women who did see a change. Food for thought.
