FDA-cleared micro-focused ultrasound for non-invasive lifting and tightening.
Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared non-invasive procedure that uses micro-focused ultrasound to lift and tighten the skin on the face, neck, and chest. It targets the deep foundational layers of tissue that surgeons address in a facelift — but without a single incision, general anesthesia, or downtime.
By stimulating the body's own regenerative process, Ultherapy naturally produces fresh collagen that gradually lifts and firms the skin over two to three months. It's an ideal treatment for patients who are beginning to notice gravitational changes in their skin but aren't ready for — or don't want — surgical intervention.
Ultherapy delivers precise micro-focused ultrasound energy to the deep structural layers of the skin, including the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) — the same layer addressed in surgical facelifts. Using real-time ultrasound imaging, your provider visualizes the tissue layers being treated and delivers energy at exact depths for optimal results. The focused thermal energy creates tiny points of coagulation that trigger the body's natural healing response, stimulating the production of fresh, new collagen. Over the following two to three months, this new collagen gradually lifts and tightens the treated areas, with improvements continuing for up to six months.
Results can last a year or more, depending on your skin's natural aging process. Many patients choose to have a follow-up treatment annually to maintain their results. While Ultherapy can't stop the aging process entirely, it effectively resets the clock and keeps the skin looking lifted and firm.
There is no downtime with Ultherapy. You can return to all normal activities immediately after your treatment. Some patients experience mild redness, slight swelling, or tingling in the treated area, but these effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few hours to a few days.
During treatment, you'll feel brief moments of focused energy being delivered beneath the skin. The sensation varies by area — some spots feel like a warm prickling, while others may be more intense. Your provider will work with you to ensure your comfort throughout the session, and any discomfort is temporary.
