LIFT, TONE, AND TIGHTEN SKIN
Ultherapy is an FDA approved non-surgical facial skin tightening procedure for firming and improving the tone of your skin without any downtime. It is the only skin tightening procedure that uses ultrasound imaging to allow the surgeon to see the layers of tissue. It accurately targets and deposits the ultrasound energy precisely where it will be most effective.

WHAT KIND OF RESULTS CAN I EXPECT FROM ULTHERAPY®?
Ultherapy can help you lift, tone and tighten the skin on your brow, neck and under your chin without undergoing surgery.
The regenerative process begins right away and you may notice an immediate “boost” or lifting of the skin. Your results will build gradually over a period of two to three months, with continued improvement for up to six months. If you are seeking a facial rejuvenation without surgery, then Ultherapy is a treatment option worth exploring with the doctor. Each patient’s results will vary.
IS ULTHERAPY® A LASER THERAPY?
Ultherapy is not a laser treatment. Rather, it uses ultrasonic waves that travel through the skin to the exact area where the skin tightening occurs, without harming the outer layer of the skin, and is similar to how ultrasound waves travel through the skin of a pregnant woman.
IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME OR SIDE EFFECTS AFTER ULTHERAPY®?
Patients may experience a very mild skin flush within an hour of Ultherapy skin tightening treatment, but any redness typically will disappear within a few hours. You may apply makeup immediately afterwards and return to normal activity right after your treatment. A major advantage of Ultherapy is that it can produce compelling changes in one session, free of pain, thus allowing you to immediately resume your regular routine.
IS ULTHERAPY® SAFE?
Ultherapy treatment is ultrasound energy that has been used in the medical imaging field for over half a century. Clinical studies have confirmed its safety. It has been approved by the FDA for facial skin tightening treatments and facial rejuvenation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ultherapy
Ultherapy is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that utilizes micro-focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin on areas such as the neck, chin, and brow. It stimulates the body’s natural collagen production by delivering ultrasound energy to the skin’s foundational layers, resulting in a gradual lifting and tightening effect over time.
Yes, Ultherapy has a well-established safety profile. It is the only non-invasive treatment cleared by the FDA for lifting the skin on the neck, chin, and brow and for improving lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. Ultrasound energy has been used safely in the medical field for over 50 years.
Ultherapy is FDA-cleared to non-invasively lift the skin on the neck, under the chin, and on the brow, as well as to improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the décolletage.
The length of the treatment depends on the area being treated and the individual treatment plan. A face and neck procedure typically takes 60-90 minutes, while a chest treatment takes approximately 30 minutes.
Most patients only need one treatment. However, some may benefit from additional treatments depending on their degree of skin laxity and biological response to ultrasound energy.
As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you may feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initiated. Comfort levels vary from person to person, but the sensation only lasts while the ultrasound energy is being delivered.
There is typically no downtime associated with Ultherapy. Some patients may experience slight redness, swelling, or tenderness, but these side effects are generally mild and temporary.
Some of our patients see an initial effect immediately after treatment, but best results generally appear over two to three months as new collagen works to lift and tighten skin. Results can last over a year, depending on the individual’s skin condition, lifestyle, and aging.
Ultherapy treats some of the deep foundational layers addressed in cosmetic surgery but won’t duplicate the results of a facelift. It is a great alternative for those not ready for surgery or for patients looking to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery.
A good candidate for Ultherapy is someone with mild to moderate skin laxity where the skin begins to look less firm or tight or someone who does not want surgery at all. Common problems addressed with Ultherapy are a lowered eyebrow line, loose skin on the neck, sagging under the chin, and lines or wrinkles on the chest.
