Ultherapy®

Noticing changes in your skin that make you feel older than you are? Sagging along your jawline, loose skin on your neck or loss of firmness in your face? These are frustrating signs of aging, but they’re not permanent. Ultherapy offers a proven way to restore youthful contours and tighten skin without surgery, downtime or dramatic changes. It’s the non-invasive solution that helps you look as confident and vibrant as you feel.

What is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared treatment that uses ultrasound technology to lift and tighten skin from within. It’s designed for people who want to address sagging skin, loss of firmness and early signs of aging on the face, neck and décolletage. What makes Ultherapy unique is its ability to target the deep structural layers of your skin (the same layers a surgeon would lift during a facelift) while leaving the surface completely untouched and requiring zero recovery time.

How does Ultherapy work?

Ultherapy harnesses the power of micro-focused ultrasound energy to reach deep beneath your skin’s surface. During treatment, this energy creates precise points of controlled heating in the foundational tissue layers.

Your body responds to this controlled stimulus by activating its natural healing process, producing fresh collagen and elastin over the following months. As this new collagen builds, your skin gradually tightens and lifts from within.

With real-time ultrasound imaging, your provider can visualize the tissue layers during treatment, ensuring precise targeting and optimal safety. The entire process is natural, gradual and delivers results that look completely authentic.

Treatment areas for Ultherapy

Ultherapy can enhance various parts of the face, neck and décolletage, restoring a youthful look without invasive procedures. Treatment areas include:

Eyebrows: Achieve a subtle lift for a brighter, more open expression.
Under the chin: Tighten sagging skin for a more defined jawline.
Neck: Smooth and tighten skin for a firmer appearance.
Décolletage: Reduce lines and wrinkles for a smoother, rejuvenated chest area.

Each treatment plan is customized to target your specific concerns and aesthetic goals.

Who is a good candidate for Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who want natural-looking rejuvenation without surgery. Good candidates typically:

Are noticing early signs of aging like sagging skin on the neck, under the chin or around the brows
Have some skin elasticity remaining (not severe, advanced sagging)
Want gradual, natural-looking improvements rather than dramatic transformation
Prefer to avoid surgery, needles and recovery time
Have realistic expectations about the timeline for results

Ultherapy is not a replacement for a surgical facelift, but it offers an excellent non-invasive alternative for those not ready for surgery or who want to maintain previous aesthetic results.

What to expect during and after Ultherapy treatments

Your Ultherapy journey begins with a consultation where we assess your skin laxity, discuss your goals and create a customized treatment plan. On treatment day, you may experience sensations such as tingling, warmth or prickling as ultrasound energy is delivered to the deep layers of your skin. We can provide comfort measures to ensure your experience is as pleasant as possible. Most treatments take 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the areas treated.

Afterward, you can return to your normal activities immediately with no downtime required. Temporary mild redness, swelling or tenderness is common but typically resolves within a few hours to a day. You can resume your regular skincare routine and exercise schedule right away.

Ultherapy results and timeline

Ultherapy results develop gradually and naturally as your body produces new collagen. Here’s what to expect:

Initial improvements (2 to 3 months): Collagen production begins, and you’ll notice skin starting to lift and tighten in treated areas.
Optimal results (3 to 6 months): Your skin reaches its firmest, most lifted appearance as collagen rebuilding peaks.
Long-lasting effects (1 to 2 years): Results can last up to two years or longer, depending on your skincare maintenance and individual aging process.

Many patients choose to return for touch-up treatments to maintain their refreshed, youthful appearance.

Benefits of Ultherapy

Ultherapy offers an array of advantages for those seeking non-surgical rejuvenation:

Non-invasive: No needles, incisions or downtime required.
Proven anti-aging solution: FDA-cleared specifically for skin lifting and tightening
Gradual, natural results: Improvements develop over months, leaving you looking refreshed but not overdone.
Real-time imaging: Allows providers to precisely target areas for optimal results.
Long-lasting effects: Results can last up to two years with proper maintenance.

How Ultherapy compares and complements other treatments

Ultherapy is a powerful standalone treatment, and when combined with other aesthetic services, the results are even more transformative. Build your personalized rejuvenation plan with these complementary treatments:

Injectables: Enhance Ultherapy’s lifting effects with fillers for volume restoration and Botox for targeted wrinkle reduction.
Laser treatments: Combine with laser resurfacing to address skin texture and tone for comprehensive skin renewal.
Skincare maintenance: Maximize and extend your Ultherapy investment with medical-grade skincare and healthy lifestyle habits.

Potential side effects

Ultherapy is widely regarded as safe, but like any treatment, it may cause temporary side effects:

Mild redness or swelling immediately after treatment.
Tingling or warmth during the procedure.
Rare instances of temporary tenderness or bruising.

These side effects typically resolve within a few hours to days.
