I’m leaving a review after having ultrasound lifting treatments over 1 year: LinearFirm 3 times, Doublo 2 times, and Tencera 1 time.
LinearFirm - With well-known treatments like Ulthera or Shurink, the cartridge type treats in points, while this is linear, so I thought it would hurt more, but it really didn’t hurt at all. After the procedure, it was nice that there was no swelling or skin redness, but honestly I’m not sure about the effect... Maybe my skin looked clearer? Just that kind of feeling.
Doublo Gold - The tingling sensation is stronger than LinearFirm. If you have a gold crown on your tooth, they give you gauze to bite on, but even so, when the device passes that area, it tingles unpleasantly, like electricity is running through the gold. There is definitely an effect until about 3 weeks after the procedure, but around a month later it feels like it goes back.
Tencera - They say this cartridge type emits two rows of dotted lines, so even if you receive 100 shots, it gives the effect of 200 shots. It hurt.... I don’t know if it was because I had the procedure on the day I got my COVID vaccine, but it hurt so much I cried. As for the effect, since I had been getting lifting treatments consistently, it had more meaning as maintenance, so I’m currently satisfied.
Although it’s called lifting, I don’t think you should expect that kind of effect where everything is lifted upward from below. It’s more like improved firmness and elasticity..? Still, it costs less than other procedures and has the advantage that you can return to daily life immediately after the treatment, so I think it would be good to get it consistently as light maintenance :)
