00:00Hey guys, I'm heading into Advanced Dermatology in Southport for a full face
00:05and neck ultra-therma treatment. It's a treatment designed to help lift and
00:09tighten your skin using ultrasound technology, so I'm hoping to combat some
00:13of this sag along my jawline and just see what the experience is like.
00:41So I'm here at Advanced Dermatology now and I've been seen by the patient
00:46coordinator who just did a sort of initial assessment with me and now I'm
00:51waiting for the nurse practitioner who's going to come in and tell me all about
00:54the treatment and assess my suitability for the treatment as well. So I'm just
00:59chilling on a nice comfy bed. The kids are nearby with our tool helpers as in a
01:07device to watch while I'm having this treatment and I've got a beautiful view
01:11of Southport here to enjoy while I wait.
01:21Okay so I've been explained a little bit more about the treatment. So the fantastic
01:26thing about this ultra-therma, it's a little bit like the ultra-former, it's
01:30getting down to that SMAS level which is very deep and you know obviously the aim of
01:37the game here is to tighten up that area and actually to put little tiny micro
01:42wounds she explained down into that SMAS level because that triggers the
01:46inflammation process and then that's going to tighten up again as it heals and
01:51build more collagen so obviously that the idea is to then lift as collagen is
01:55being built so I'm just filling out a little form here now and the treatment's
02:00going to be starting very soon.
02:04And then just the other way.
02:05Look!
02:06Yeah.
02:08Look!
02:08Look!
02:09That's what we're going to have to see.
02:10Oh thank you.
02:11Not like a blanket or anything?
02:13Um you know what?
02:14It is a bit cold.
02:16It is a bit cold when you're...yeah the aircon is freezing funnily enough.
02:27So I'm going to do the whole left side first.
02:29Oh yeah.
02:31I'm going to use a little squeezy pull.
02:34Oh thanks.
02:36Oh that's always a bad sign when I'm being in the squeezy pull.
02:39You'll be so fine.
02:42I'm going to start on your neck.
02:43So we do each section two times but this is just the gel so it's a bit cold.
02:47Oh no.
02:52Last time I had a squeezy ball was when I was getting anti-wrinkle injections.
02:58Do you find that painful?
03:00No!
03:01It's really not bad.
03:03Yeah.
03:04I feel like a treatment's like painful at the time but once it's done you're like
03:07oh I'll do it again.
03:08Like it's fine.
03:09Yeah.
03:09It's not too too bad.
03:10Alright.
03:11I'm just going to tuck that in just so we don't get the gel when you're trying for
03:15you.
03:21You need a break at all.
03:25I can stop and start at any point so.
03:28Wow that really is fine.
03:30Yeah that's fine.
03:31Yeah.
03:32Amazing.
03:33I mean it'll probably get worse as it goes I think does it or?
03:36More like burnier areas can be more sensitive.
03:40But yeah.
03:41That's amazing.
03:42Like that's very tolerable.
03:44Yeah I agree.
03:45That is nothing like ultraform.
03:47Yeah I think if you have had other treatments in the past like you've had it.
03:50Yeah.
03:51Ultraform is worse than this.
03:53Yeah.
03:53Yeah.
03:54I mean it's a weird sort of fear.
03:56It's a little bit tingly like you can't feel a bit better.
04:01You can feel like something's happening but it's not unbearable.
04:05It's not unbearable although to be honest ultraform is not too bad on the neck either.
04:10So maybe the neck is the sort of kinder area.
04:13We do this area for quite a lot longer than the other areas.
04:15Oh right okay.
04:16So the other ones.
04:17The forehead on ultraform is really horrible.
04:20Yeah.
04:21It's kind of the same in this machine but it's a lot shorter so it's like over a lot quicker.
04:25Oh that's good.
04:29But no so far that's fine.
04:31Wonderful.
04:49Okay.
04:50Yep.
04:51Yeah.
04:51Yeah.
04:52Yeah that's a little bit more biting than the neck but no it's fine.
04:55It's so tolerable.
04:57It's totally fine.
05:20Yeah.
05:21Well so far this has been fine.
05:23Amazing.
05:23And then we just have two like short areas after this one as well so.
05:27Yeah.
05:27Nearly halfway there.
05:28Yeah it's fine.
05:32Yeah it's fine.
05:34It definitely hurts less than our performer.
05:37Yeah that's good.
05:38I think if you've done that then you would yeah find it easy.
05:40Yeah.
05:41And it's quicker too.
05:42I think.
05:43Yeah.
05:43Like you haven't needed to have a break or anything so nice and quick.
06:05What's the best part about it do you reckon?
06:08Like when people are really happy and like get like the results that they're wanting.
06:12Yeah.
06:13Yeah.
06:14That's really good to see.
06:16And with acne do you think blue light and red light like do you think light therapy helps
06:21with acne?
06:22I mean I've never really done much like we don't do it here and I've never really like used
06:27it for my skin.
06:28Yeah.
06:28So I'm not really sure to be honest.
06:30But I've only heard good things.
06:32Yeah.
06:32Like it definitely wouldn't hurt it in any way.
06:34Yeah.
06:35Yeah.
06:37So the ultrasound must be really bouncing off that bony plate or something.
06:40Yeah so anywhere more bony you do kind of feel it a bit more.
06:44Yeah.
06:45Pretty.
06:46Yeah.
06:46And you've got so little skin on your forehead too.
06:49Yeah.
06:50Yeah.
06:53But it's still tolerable.
06:55And I'm just telling myself I can just feel it lifting, lifting, come on.
07:01No pain, no gain.
07:02Exactly.
07:04But I'll show you in the mirror halfway like this thing really doesn't like hasn't gone
07:08too red or anything.
07:09It doesn't seem too sensitive.
07:10Oh yeah that's fine.
07:11Yeah.
07:12And you get like a 10% instant tightening effect.
07:15Oh great.
07:16Yeah.
07:17Oh look that would be very welcome.
07:21Yeah.
07:22Any tightening is welcome.
07:27Well that is so cool.
07:29Like the side that you've done already looks fresher and brighter.
07:34Like it does.
07:36Yeah it looks great.
07:36Even the surface of it.
07:37Yeah it does.
07:38And it does look lifted.
07:40I'm actually a little bit um scared now.
07:44Like it does.
07:46It actually has lifted a bit.
07:48You're right.
07:49You can feel it like feels tighter.
07:51Yeah it does feel tighter.
07:53Yeah.
07:53Oh that's so cool.
07:54Thank you so much.
07:55You're so welcome.
07:57Wow it really does.
07:59Like this side honestly has lifted a bit.
08:01Like so now I look like I've had a stroke on this side.
08:04Yeah you have to do the second half.
08:05You have to finish it now.
08:06Yeah exactly.
08:07Oh no thank you.
08:09Thanks for chatting with that.
08:10That's awesome.
08:23Can i get a little ahead?
08:24I'm doing very well now.
08:30And the floor is close enough to me.
08:32I can see some water off in hisź, please.
08:32Good, let me see you sure.
08:33Now let me hear you.
08:34How may I blow my future?
08:36If I blow myown down the floor,
08:53So does this help with eye bags at all as well?
08:56Yes!
08:57It's going to help with many dark circles and fine lines around the eyes as well.
09:01Well that's good.
09:20That's awesome.
09:23I don't mind the heat afterwards.
09:24You can feel a little bit of heat afterwards but the heat will be alright.
09:28You just do it so easy.
09:30Make it look very easy.
09:32It is a very tolerable treatment.
09:35It is.
09:46It helps to chat to be honest because that kind of then...
09:49It distracts you a little bit.
09:50Yeah a little bit.
09:52Some people like really don't like it.
09:54They don't like it.
09:54You try to ask them questions and your mind goes like blank.
09:59Then other people are like oh it's really good when you are like talking.
10:02Yeah.
10:02It's so different.
10:03It is a bit...
10:04Oh is that it?
10:04Well done.
10:05You did so well.
10:07I survived.
10:08No it was fine.
10:09It was...
10:10It's so fine honestly.
10:12This is way less painful than the Ultraformer.
10:15No that's good.
10:17Forehead is definitely the worst.
10:18A little bit bitey but look I wasn't even squeezing the ball so...
10:21You did amazing.
10:23And you're right it's quick.
10:24Yeah.
10:26Ultraformer was slower like...
10:30Mm-hmm.
10:32Mm-hmm.
10:32You have to go over multiple times.
10:33Yeah.
10:35That was great.
10:37I'm a big fan.
10:38I'm not surprised now that clinics are booting the Ultraformer and going for this more...
10:43Yeah.
10:44Yeah.
10:44So technology advances.
10:47So that's...
10:47That's the big lesson of today.
10:49The machines these days are now better than they were 10 years ago which is when I first
10:54had the Ultraformer which is still that um ultra um sort of the high food.
11:00Same technology.
11:03Yeah.
11:04This is just better.
11:07Yeah.
11:08You're gonna get all the aftercare emailed too.
11:10Oh yeah.
11:11Yeah.
11:11You just want to avoid any excessive heat for two days.
11:14So like super intense exercise, saunas um or like excessive sun.
11:20Oh.
11:20And then you can just use like your normal cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen you just don't
11:24want to use any of your like retinol, vitamin C or anything like exfoliating.
11:29Just cause your skin can be a bit sensitive.
11:32Yep.
11:32Yeah.
11:32What about my red light mask?
11:35Cause I...
11:35Does your skin kind of get like hot?
11:37No it doesn't.
11:39No yeah that's fine then.
11:40Yeah.
11:40Yeah.
11:41Um.
11:44And then if it's a bit sore you can just yeah have a panadol.
11:47Oh yeah.
11:47And if you get like a rash at all just have an antihistamine.
11:51Okay.
11:51But you can just put makeup like straight back on top since we are like causing trauma to
11:56the surface of the skin.
11:57Yeah.
11:57So that's so fine.
12:00I'll send you a text checking up on you so if you have any um like questions or concerns
12:05or anything like that.
12:06Just respond to that one and then I can get back to you.
12:08Oh thank you.
12:10Oh wow.
12:12It really does genuinely look lifted.
12:15Yeah.
12:15Like that is so cool.
12:17It looks tighter and just that's amazing.
12:22That's genuinely awesome.
12:24That's awesome.
12:25You're so welcome.
12:25I'm really pleased with that.
12:26And so you reckon that it'll even get a little bit better after that?
12:29Yeah.
12:29So that's only like 10% of what you expect to see.
12:31So it takes that like three to six month mark to be seeing the full results.
12:35Thank you so much.
12:37You're so welcome.
12:37But yeah we can definitely get you booked in for those reviews so you can come in and
12:40put the photos together so you hang your body.
12:43Oh yeah.
12:43Okay.
12:44Thank you so much.
12:45You're so welcome having these ones.
12:47Oh thank you.
12:48Yeah.
12:48And in terms of pain it is really really fine.
12:53Like yeah if anyone's had the ultraforma like yeah that was way better.
12:58And I was told that though.
13:00I was told that it doesn't hurt as much as the ultraforma.
13:02Yeah.
13:03So tolerable.
13:04It was like tons better even than skin needling anything.
13:07Yeah.
13:08Wow.
13:08Is this the best treatment ever?
13:11You're welcome.
13:12I can take this off now.
13:13Yeah.
13:13Well that is just awesome.
13:16Like in terms of treatments I mean I have had ultraforma so I did come expecting you know
13:22that it was going to be like ultraforma because it's the ultrasound technology.
13:25Wow it is tons less painful than the ultraforma.
13:29The neck hardly felt at all.
13:31Fleshy areas you really don't really feel.
13:34Just a little bit of tingling.
13:36So across the forehead yes the bony bit it is a little bit you can feel pressure and
13:41a little bit but it was so tolerable.
13:44I wasn't even squeezing the squeeze ball or anything.
13:47And now my skin my face just feels a pleasant sort of warm.
13:51And I think my skin already just feels alive and it's like giving it a bit of a kick up
13:56the backside to now make some fresh collagen which is always a good thing.
14:00It keeps your skin fresher and healthier.
14:03And you know it is really easy to get really busy and you know I was just kind of looking
14:10in the mirror and feeling dull and just feeling a little bit.
14:13Can't be bothered you know sort of.
14:15But just now having had that done I think it is worth the bother.
14:20It is really just worth getting out doing something for yourself doing something for your skin.
14:25You'll feel better for it and your skin's going to be healthier for it.
14:28So yeah I am very happy I had that done.
14:31And apparently results can last for up to two years.
14:33So that's sort of a treatment that you can just get every now and then.
14:38Every couple of years.
14:39Every few years whenever you sort of feel the need to.
14:42But yeah I am really glad I got that done today.
14:45Well that was a lot less painful than I expected.
14:49It was so fine to get that treatment done.
14:52It feels really good to get that treatment done.
14:54And I really can already feel some positive sort of tightening and lifting in my face.
15:00So that was just really cool.
