WHAT IS ULTHERAPY®?
Ultherapy® is a non-invasive skin tightening and lifting treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen. By delivering energy beneath the surface of the skin, Ultherapy® targets the foundational layers that contribute to firmness and support without surgery or incisions.
As new collagen develops, the skin can gradually appear firmer, smoother, and more lifted. Treatment can be customized based on the areas of concern and the patient’s individual anatomy and aesthetic goals.
BENEFITS OF ULTHERAPY®
- Non-invasive treatment with no incisions

What areas can you treat with Ultherapy®?
A. Ultherapy® can be used to address skin laxity and visible signs of aging in several areas, including:
- Brow
- Neck
- Under the chin
- Décolletage
Treatment recommendations vary by patient and will be determined during your consultation
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT
Discomfort: Temporary tenderness or sensitivity may occur in the treated area.
Downtime: Minimal to none for most patients. Temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness can occur following treatment.
Results: Ultherapy® works by initiating the body’s natural collagen-building process, so improvement develops gradually rather than immediately. Patients may notice progressive lifting and tightening as new collagen develops in the months following treatment. Individual results and longevity vary.
HOW TO PREPARE…
PRE-APPOINTMENT
- Arrive with clean skin in the treatment area whenever possible.
- Discuss your medical history, medications, previous aesthetic procedures, and treatment goals with your provider.
- Follow any individualized preparation instructions provided before your appointment.
DURING APPOINTMENT
Your provider will evaluate the treatment area and develop a customized treatment plan based on your anatomy and goals.
Ultrasound imaging is used to visualize the tissue beneath the skin and guide the delivery of focused ultrasound energy to targeted depths. Patients may experience brief sensations of heat, tingling, or discomfort as the energy is delivered.
POST-APPOINTMENT
Most patients can return to their usual activities following treatment.
Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, tingling, or sensitivity may occur. Your provider will review any specific aftercare recommendations with you before you leave.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Ultherapy® is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production beneath the skin. It is designed to gradually lift and tighten areas of skin laxity without surgery.
Ultherapy® delivers focused ultrasound energy beneath the skin while leaving the surface intact. This controlled energy stimulates the body’s natural regenerative response, encouraging new collagen formation and gradual improvements in firmness and support.
Ultherapy® may be appropriate for adults who are beginning to notice mild to moderate skin laxity and want a non-surgical approach to lifting and tightening. A consultation is necessary to determine whether the treatment is appropriate for your skin, anatomy, medical history, and goals.
Results develop gradually as the body produces new collagen. Some patients begin noticing changes in the weeks following treatment, with continued improvement developing over the following months.
The longevity of results varies based on the individual, treatment area, natural aging process, and other factors. Because Ultherapy® stimulates your own collagen production, improvements can remain visible well beyond the initial treatment period.
Ultherapy® generally requires little to no downtime. Most patients can return to their normal routine after treatment, although temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or sensitivity may occur.
Comfort levels vary. Patients may feel brief sensations of heat, tingling, or intensity while ultrasound energy is delivered. Your provider can discuss what to expect and available comfort measures before treatment.
The number of treatments depends on your degree of skin laxity, treatment goals, and individual response. Your provider will recommend a treatment plan after evaluating your skin and areas of concern.
No. Ultherapy® is a non-surgical treatment designed for patients seeking gradual lifting and tightening without surgery. It does not produce the same degree of correction as a surgical facelift.
Your provider will evaluate your skin, discuss the changes you would like to address, review your medical and treatment history, and determine whether Ultherapy® is an appropriate option for your goals.
