Ultherapy is the world’s first and only FDA-approved non-invasive treatment for lifting and tightening facial skin. Until recently, the only way to tighten skin tissues was through complex surgeries that involved incisions and downtime. But now, thanks to advanced technologies, we can use ultrasound energy to tighten and lift your skin, making it look firm and taut. Ultherapy can’t replace a facelift or provide the same degree of skin tightening, but it’s excellent for patients who aren’t ready for surgery.

How Ultherapy Works
Ultherapy delivers ultrasound energy into the deep dermis at the optimal temperature to stimulate natural collagen production. This procedure activates neocollagenesis, a natural process that leads to the production of new collagen fibers underneath your skin. Collagen is a fibrous protein that binds your skin tissues, prevents facial sagging, and makes your skin look firm and youthful. Ultherapy restores your skin’s depleted collagen reserves to reverse the effects of age, making your skin look firm, smooth, and youthful.

Your Ultherapy Experience
Ultherapy is performed as a simple, in-office treatment after a thorough consultation. Our cosmetic providers will carefully examine your facial skin, measure the degree of laxity, and review your medical history. After a thorough evaluation, the cosmetic provider will use the Ultherapy handheld device to deliver ultrasound waves into the face and neck. The entire procedure concludes within an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Recovery After Ultherapy
You can resume your daily activities and work immediately after your Ultherapy session. Your skin might look slightly flushed for a few hours, but there’s no pain. There are no major activity limitations, but you should avoid direct sunlight and strenuous workouts for a day.
Ultherapy: Results & Longevity
Ultherapy produces gradual results over an extended period. The results will gradually improve over three months as your body produces new collagen fibers. The results last for several months or years, but you may need occasional maintenance treatments.
