About

Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that lifts the neck, chin, and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest.

SAFETY

  • Ultrasound, Not Surgery: Ultherapy relies on ultrasound therapy to go deeper than other non-invasive treatments for collagen stimulation. It leverages traditional ultrasound imaging so Ultherapy providers can see the layers of tissue they are treating, ensuring the treatment energy is delivered to where it benefits you most.
  • FDA-Cleared for Lifting: Only Ultherapy is FDA-cleared to non-invasively lift skin on the neck, under the chin, and on the brow—and also improve lines and wrinkles on the décolletage! No wonder we’ve delivered more than a million treatments worldwide.
  • A Non-Invasive Procedure: For those who are not ready for a surgical facelift, Ultherapy provides proven results in a single treatment for most patients. Learn how to treat your loose skin without surgery, without impacting the surface of your skin, and without downtime.

HOW DOES ULTHERAPY WORK?

  • Ultherapy targets areas beneath the skin with focused ultrasound energy, using the right temperature to support collagen regeneration. 
  • The heat energy from the applicator is aimed at different depths, affecting three layers: muscle, skin, superficial wrinkles.
  • The ultrasound energy stimulates collagen and elastic tissue, which should result in firmer skin, less sagging, and fewer wrinkles.

What to expect?

Pre-Appointment

  • No special preparation needed, but a consultation is required to determine suitability.

Appointment

  • Before the treatment, a topical anesthetic and optional oral pain relievers are offered for your comfort.
  • During the treatment, you may feel gentle heat or a tingling sensation as the ultrasound energy passes through the skin layers.

Aftercare

  • Avoid any strenuous physical activity immediately after the treatment.
  • You can continue your regular skincare routine the next day.
  • Limit sun exposure and make sure to apply sunscreen diligently to protect your newly treated skin.
  • You may notice a slight redness, which typically fades within a few hours.
  • Tenderness may be observed for several days.

POTENTIAL RISKS & SIDE EFFECTS

  • Ultherapy is a treatment with few to no risks, which is why it’s such a popular FDA-approved option for those looking to improve their facial skin.
  • Your skin may appear slightly red or flushed immediately following treatment, but this should lessen within a few hours.
  • You may also notice some mild swelling in the days after the procedure. Micro-focused ultrasound therapy continues to be refined and used in combination with other rejuvenation techniques to give patients the best possible results.

  • Is Ultherapy safe for all skin types? Yes, Ultherapy is safe for all skin types as it uses ultrasound energy, which bypasses the surface of the skin.
  • What does Ultherapy do for your face? Ultherapy lifts and tightens the skin on the face, neck, and chest by stimulating collagen production.
