ULTHERAPY
Ultherapy is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to penetrate deep into the skin’s foundational layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This process helps to lift, firm, and smooth areas such as the face, neck, and décolletage, reducing fine lines and sagging over time. Unlike lasers or radiofrequency, Ultherapy targets deeper layers without damaging the skin’s surface, offering a natural and long-lasting rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

How is Ultherapy different than other cosmetic treatments?
-
Ultherapy PRIME® is the only non-invasive skin lifting treatment with real-time ultrasound imaging that allows practitioners to assess your skin and deliver a truly personalized treatment with long-lasting, meaningful results. Ultherapy PRIME® also uses time-tested ultrasound technology to stimulate the formation of new collagen deep below the skin’s surface. The treatment takes about 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area treated, and without any downtime.
How is Ultherapy personalized to my needs?
-
Ultherapy PRIME® is the only FDA-cleared skin-tightening and lifting device with real-time visualization. This enables the practitioner to assess your skin before treatment and precisely deliver energy where you need it the most. Through this technology, the treatment can be personalized to your unique needs, resulting in a safe and more effective treatment.
Do I need time off?
-
No. With nonsurgical Ultherapy PRIME®, there is no downtime. After your treatment, you can resume your normal activities immediately, following the instructions of your practitioner
How long does it last?
-
Most Ultherapy PRIME® patients see meaningful results after just one session. Since your treatment stimulates your body’s own collagen production, the results may vary. You may see some initial lift, but the ultimate results will take place over two to three months as the growth of new collagen and elastin develops. A single Ultherapy PRIME® treatment can give a lasting effect for over a year or more, and your practitioner will advise on the likely outcomes for you.
What does the treatment feel like?
-
As ultrasound energy is delivered, you may feel the sensation of heat and/or tingling, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initiated. Treatment comfort levels vary from person to person, and your practitioner will discuss your personalized treatment plan with you.
Who is a good candidate for Ultherapy?
-
A good candidate for Ultherapy PRIME® is someone with some degree of laxity, to the point of looking, often feeling, less firm. Loose skin under the neck and under the chin, or lines and wrinkles on the chest, are signals a patient might be a candidate. Typically, those in their 30s who have mild to moderate skin laxity are candidates. While Ultherapy PRIME® is not a replacement for a surgical facelift, there are many people who may want some facial lifting but are not ready for surgery, whether mentally, physically, or financially. There are also younger people who want to "stay ahead of the game," as well as patients wanting an aesthetic maintenance option.
