Ulthera – Ultherapy
What Is Ulthera (Ultherapy)?
Ulthera, also known as Ultherapy, is a non-invasive skin tightening and lifting treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. It targets areas affected by sagging or loss of elasticity, such as the face, neck, décolletage, and around the eyes. FDA-approved, Ultherapy offers a natural-looking lift without surgery or downtime.
How Does Ultherapy Work?
Ultherapy delivers micro-focused ultrasound waves to precise depths under the skin, including the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer, which is also targeted during surgical facelifts. This energy heats the tissue, triggering the body’s natural healing response and promoting the formation of new, firmer collagen. Over time, this leads to a visible tightening and lifting effect.
Common Treatment Areas
- Forehead and brow (non-surgical brow lift)
- Eye area (under-eye and crow’s feet)
- Cheeks and jawline
- Chin and neck (including double chin)
- Chest and décolletage
Ultherapy Procedure Overview
Before the treatment, the skin is cleansed and a treatment map is applied. During the procedure, a handheld ultrasound device delivers energy to the targeted layers beneath the skin. Some patients may feel warmth or tingling, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated. Sessions last 30–60 minutes, and there is no required downtime afterward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ultherapy painful?
You may feel a slight tingling or heat during the procedure, but most patients tolerate it well. Numbing cream can be used if necessary.
How soon will I see results?
Initial improvements may be seen within a few weeks, with full results developing over 3–6 months as new collagen forms.
How long do the effects last?
Results typically last 12–18 months. Annual maintenance may be recommended depending on skin condition.
How is Ultherapy different from laser treatments?
Ultherapy works on deeper layers, including the SMAS, without affecting the skin’s surface. Lasers primarily target superficial layers and skin tone issues.
