What is Ultherapy®?
Ultherapy® is a safe, FDA-approved, non-surgical procedure that rejuvenates facial and neck skin by tightening supporting soft tissues. It uses advanced ultrasound technology to lift the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
This treatment taps into your body’s natural collagen production, reinforcing what‘s already there and stimulating new collagen to form. The process gently heats skin layers to 5 millimeters deep, which triggers your body’s healing response, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
How Does Ultherapy® Work?
Ultherapy® leverages Micro-Focused Ultrasound technology to activate the skin’s healing response, stimulating collagen production. The ultrasound energy targets areas beneath the skin, promoting collagen renewal at deep layers without surgery. Collagen regeneration results in tightened and lifted skin, offering noticeable and long-lasting effects.

The Beauty of Ultherapy: Making Your Body Work for You
Ultherapy prompts your body’s healing response system to reignite memory in the skin, as well as the underlying tissue. Ultherapy is used to effectively rejuvenate the skin in the brow, face, and other parts of the body as well.
At your treatment session, your provider will use the ultrasound applicator on your face to deliver low levels of energy to the tissue below the skin, leaving your skin surface unharmed while causing the newly stimulated underlying tissue to contract and begin growing new collagen, which results in a slow but certain tightening. This process ultimately provides the lift you’ve been looking for.
What Makes Ultherapy Different?
The technology itself makes it different. It’s the only skin rejuvenation technique that employs ultrasound technology and ultrasound imaging-both you and your provider will be able to see the tissue that’s being treated on the display screen.
But, notably, what sets Ultherapy apart is that it’s a rejuvenation technique that involves no foreign substance or invasive tools entering your body. It’s just specially developed the same core technology that’s been used in sonograms for decades-put to a specific use:
to prompt your body to grow new collagen. Collagen is one of the most important ingredients in keeping your skin looking young, vital, and refreshed.
The full benefits of your treatment will take time to manifest- you’ll see them gradually build up over the next two to three months. After your treatment, you’ll be able to go about your daily activities, with little to no downtime necessary.
Why Choose Ultherapy®?
Ultherapy® targets the deeper layers of the skin to boost collagen production, providing significant and enduring rejuvenation with fewer treatments and minimal adverse reactions. It is uniquely recognized as a non-invasive treatment authorized by the FDA that employs concentrated ultrasound technology to naturally lift and tighten the skin, without disturbing the surface layer.
When Will the Results Show?
Following your Ultherapy® session, you might notice immediate changes; however, the full benefits of the treatment will emerge gradually over the next two to three months, as your body stimulates collagen production.
What areas can Ultherapy® Treat?
This non-invasive procedure works wonders by lifting and firming skin on the face, tightening the delicate neck area, reducing sagging under the chin, defining the jawline, and even elevating the brow.
It also addresses concerns under the eyes, ensuring a rejuvenated look throughout. Additionally, Ultherapy® extends its benefits to treating the décolletage (chest area), offering a comprehensive solution for those seeking full-face rejuvenation and more.
