Esthetician Colleen Shimamoto before starting her “40-30 Treatment Plan.”
Hi Everyone,
In my quest to go from 40 to 30, I knew my very first treatment would be Ultherapy because as you can tell from this photo, I’ve been getting pretty “jowly” in my jaw line, saggy in my tear trough area and the volume in my cheeks is just gone. I have seen first hand the lifting/firming and overall youthfulness Ultherapy has given to my skin care patients.
The pain is hard to describe, but let me give you this advice – take a Percocet or Vicodin beforehand and ask your practitioner to give you an ice balloon during the treatment. Hold the ice on one side of your face while the other side is being treated, then flip flop with the practitioner.
Back to the pain – it’s a new sensation so maybe that is part of it, but it feels like little tiny electrocutions underneath your skin that create some heat.
*Individual results may vary
When it was over, my skin looked instantly “glowy.” My face was possibly a little bit swollen but nobody other than myself could really notice. And now that it’s over, I don’t have to worry about Ultherapy affecting the rest of my 40 to 30 Treatment Plan (affecting filler or irritating my skin after a chemical peel.)
You’ll be able to see my jowls fully tightened, my brow lifted and my eyes opened up in about four to six months, so look for my “after” photos in June. Now, if the FDA could just approve Ultherapy for my derriere!
Xo,
Colleen
