About Ultherapy
The Non-Invasive Lift
Ultherapy® is the only non-invasive FDA-approved procedure to help you achieve a fresher look from your brow to your chest. With just one Ultherapy treatment, you can counteract the effects of gravity and sun exposure. It lifts and tightens the skin naturally — without surgery or downtime.
Ultherapy has been established as effective in clinical studies and over a million treatments worldwide. While it won’t duplicate the results of a facelift, it’s a proven alternative for those not ready for surgery — and can even be an option for patients who want the results of their cosmetic surgery to last longer.
How Does Ultherapy Work?
Builds New Collagen
The Ultherapy procedure stimulates collagen production by delivering focused ultrasound energy to the skin’s foundational layer typically addressed in cosmetic surgery — without cutting or disrupting the skin's surface.
Unlike lasers, radiofrequency, surgery, and other technologies, non-surgical Ultherapy bypasses the surface of the skin to deliver the right amount of ultrasound energy at the right depths and the right temperature. This energy triggers a natural response under the skin, jumpstarting the regenerative process that produces fresh, new collagen to lift and tighten loose skin – all with no toxins, no needles, and no downtime.
What Are the Benefits of Ultherapy?
Just a Single Treatment
Ultherapy treats the deep foundational layer addressed in cosmetic surgery using ultrasound, a technology that has existed in the medical industry for more than 50 years. While the treatment won’t duplicate the results of a surgical facelift, it is FDA-approved to lift the skin and is a great alternative. It is especially useful for those who are not ready for surgery or for patients looking to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery.
Because Ultherapy uses sound energy to bypass the skin’s surface, it stimulates collagen production at the foundation level. It reaches below superficial skin to depths unmatched by light or laser treatments, resulting in a clinically significant lift in one procedure.
No Downtime. Natural Results.
Some patients see an initial effect right after their treatment, but the real results appear over two to three months as new collagen works to lift and tighten skin on the neck, chin, and brow as well as smooth skin on the chest.
Ultherapy incorporates traditional ultrasound imaging, which allows practitioners to see the layers of tissue they are treating, ensuring the treatment energy is delivered to where it will be most beneficial.
What Areas Does Ultherapy Treat?
Brow to Chest
Ultherapy is the only non-invasive treatment cleared by the FDA for lifting the skin on the neck, chin, and brow and improving lines and wrinkles on the décolletage.
Am I a Good Candidate for Ultherapy?
A good candidate for Ultherapy is a person in their 30s and older whose skin has some degree of laxity, to the point of looking or feeling less firm. Some signs could be loose skin under the neck and chin or lines and wrinkles on the chest.
While Ultherapy is not a replacement for a surgical facelift, many clients want a lift who are not ready for surgery — mentally, physically, or financially. Some people want to “stay ahead of the game.” Others desire an aesthetic maintenance option, and others want a change only with a non-invasive alternative to surgery.
Common Ultherapy Questions
What Can I Expect During My Ultherapy Treatment?
Here’s how an Ultherapy treatment typically unfolds:
- After cleansing the skin and identifying the specific areas to be treated, your Ultherapy practitioner will apply a cool gel to your skin, where the treatment applicator will be focused.
- The specialist will be able to see deep within the skin, using ultrasound imaging, to determine the optimal placement for the treatment.
- As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you may feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited beneath the skin to precise depths, stimulating the collagen-building process.
- Comfort levels vary from person to person, but the sensation only lasts while the ultrasound energy is delivered. To enhance your comfort, your practitioner may recommend that you take an over-the-counter or prescribed medication before the treatment.
- After your treatment, your skin might appear flushed at first, but the redness should disappear within a few hours. Some patients experience slight swelling, tingling, or tenderness to the touch, but these are mild and temporary.
- Other less common post-procedural effects may include temporary bruising or numbness in small areas of skin. As with any medical procedure, there is the possibility of other rare effects, which your practitioner will review with you.
How Long Does Recovery Take?
With Ultherapy, there is no downtime! You can return to your normal activities immediately after your procedure without any post-treatment restrictions or requirements. Swelling and tenderness are reported with some patients, but these effects are generally mild and temporary.
How Long Will Results Last?
Since the procedure stimulates a person’s collagen production, how long the results last depends on the individual. The treatment produces new collagen on the inside, but the individual’s natural aging process will dictate how long that translates into visible results on the outside. Future touch-up treatments can help provide more control over the aging process, which varies by individual.
How Does Ultherapy Compare With Other Nonsurgical Treatments?
Ultherapy and other non-surgical treatments each offer unique approaches to skin rejuvenation:
- Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology to stimulate deep collagen production, effectively lifting and tightening the skin without disrupting its surface. It’s ideal for targeting deeper tissue layers to improve skin laxity.
- Injectables, like Botox and dermal fillers, address wrinkles and volume loss. Botox smooths dynamic wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles, while fillers add volume directly beneath the skin to fill in lines and plump areas like cheeks and lips.
- Chemical Peels work on the skin’s surface, using chemical solutions to remove dead skin layers, improving texture, tone, and reducing superficial blemishes.
- Microneedling stimulates collagen production through micro-injuries on the skin's surface, helping improve texture and reduce scars.
- Laser Skin Resurfacing uses light energy to remove outer layers of skin and heat the underlying tissue, which promotes new collagen fibers, targeting deeper wrinkles and sun damage.
Each treatment has its own benefits, and you can even combine some of them for a true rejuvenation of your skin. Talk to your provider to determine which treatments may be best for your skin.
