What Is UltherapyⓇ?
Ultherapy is a safe and effective non-surgical procedure that can help promote younger-looking skin. By utilizing the body’s own regenerative responses, UltherapyⓇ gently and progressively corrects age lines on the decolletage and lifts the skin around the eyebrows, beneath the chin, and on the neck by skin tightening. UltherapyⓇ has been approved by the FDA as a safe and effective treatment to lift the skin for a younger appeal.
Many treatments address only the skin’s surface. Ultherapy® goes deeper, reaching the same layers targeted in cosmetic surgery. It uses precise ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen where firmness begins to fade with age. Because it works with your body’s natural processes, results appear gradually, making it an ideal choice for subtle, natural-looking enhancement.
How does UltherapyⓇ work to rejuvenate the skin?
UltherapyⓇ emits ultrasound energy waves deep beneath the surface of the skin. As these waves make their way to the deeper layers of the skin, it stimulates your body’s natural regenerative process to create new collagen; this process is known as neocollagenesis. No needles required!
The technology behind Ultherapy® is unique because it includes real-time imaging. This allows your provider to see exactly where the energy is being delivered, ensuring it targets the correct depth for maximum collagen stimulation. Compared to RF or laser devices, which deliver energy more broadly, Ultherapy® provides focused, layered precision. This leads to more predictable and effective lifting results.
How Can You Benefit from Ultherapy?
Whether you’re looking to lift sagging skin or refresh your appearance without surgery, Ultherapy® offers a clinically backed solution that uses your body’s natural processes to restore firmness and tone. Here are some of the key ways Ultherapy® can support your aesthetic goals:
Improve the Look of Jowls and Jawline Definition
Ultherapy® is a popular treatment choice for patients experiencing early signs of lower face sagging. It helps tighten the skin along the jawline, reducing the appearance of jowls and improving facial contours.
Lift and Tighten Key Areas Without Surgery
Ultherapy® targets the deep foundational layers of skin, similar to those addressed in surgical facelifts, without breaking the surface. It’s FDA-cleared to lift the skin on the brow, chin, neck, and décolletage.
Stimulate Your Body’s Natural Collagen Production
By delivering focused ultrasound energy beneath the skin, Ultherapy® jumpstarts your body’s regenerative process. Over time, your skin becomes firmer and more resilient as new collagen forms.
Achieve Gradual, Natural-Looking Results
Because Ultherapy® works with your body’s natural healing timeline, improvements appear gradually over two to three months. The outcome is a refreshed, lifted look that doesn’t seem “done” or artificial.
No Downtime or Disruption to Your Day
Treatment sessions typically last 30–90 minutes, depending on the area, and require no recovery time. You can return to work or daily activities immediately after your appointment.
A Safe Option for All Skin Types
Ultherapy® uses ultrasound—not light or lasers—making it a safe and effective choice for a wide range of skin tones. It’s a versatile treatment suited to both early and moderate signs of aging.
Ultherapy® vs. Other Skin Tightening Treatments
When it comes to lifting and firming aging skin without surgery, Ultherapy® sets itself apart. By harnessing the power of ultrasound, it reaches deeper layers of tissue than many other non-invasive treatments, stimulating collagen right at its source.
Ultherapy® vs. RF Microneedling
Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is an excellent treatment for improving skin texture, reducing pore size, and addressing surface-level concerns. However, it typically targets more superficial layers of the skin. Ultherapy® penetrates deeper, making it more effective for lifting and contouring sagging skin.
Ultherapy® vs. Laser Treatments
Laser treatments focus on the skin’s surface to improve tone, texture, and pigmentation. While effective for resurfacing, lasers don’t address the deeper structural support. Ultherapy® bypasses the surface entirely, stimulating collagen production at greater depths without affecting the outer skin. It is safe for all skin tones.
Ultherapy® vs. Surgical Facelifts
A facelift delivers dramatic, immediate results but comes with the risks of surgery, anesthesia, and significant downtime. Ultherapy offers a subtler, gradual lift with no incisions or downtime. It’s ideal for those seeking to refresh their appearance without undergoing surgery.
Ultherapy® vs. Chemical Peels and Topicals
Chemical peels and skincare products improve skin clarity and brightness, but can’t restore lost firmness or reposition tissue. Ultherapy® goes deeper than topical solutions, working from within to tighten and lift where sagging starts.
Safety and Side Effects of Ultherapy®
Ultherapy® is FDA-cleared and widely regarded as a safe, non-invasive option for skin lifting and tightening. It has been used successfully worldwide in clinical settings and is trusted for its precision and minimal risk when performed by trained professionals.
Because Ultherapy® doesn’t involve needles, incisions, or anesthesia, there’s no required downtime, and most patients return to their normal activities immediately. Common temporary side effects may include:
- Mild redness or swelling in the treated area
- Tingling or sensitivity to touch
- Temporary firmness or tenderness
- Slight bruising in rare cases
These effects typically resolve within a few hours to a few days as your skin recovers.
While adverse reactions are rare, we believe in full transparency. More uncommon but possible side effects can include:
- Numbness or tingling that may last for a few days to a few weeks
- Temporary muscle weakness or jaw stiffness (especially near treatment areas like the neck)
- Minor welts or bumps that fade naturally
At Premiere Center for Health & Wellness, we tailor each session for precision and safety, carefully adjusting energy levels and treatment depth to avoid sensitive structures and ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
What Happens During an Ultherapy® Treatment?
Your Ultherapy® session activates your body’s natural ability to lift and firm skin, without the need for surgery, needles, or downtime.
Here’s a detailed look at what to expect before, during, and after your appointment:
Personalized Consultation and Skin Mapping
Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with a trained Ultherapy® provider. We’ll assess your areas of concern, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if Ultherapy® is the most effective option for your needs.
Using advanced ultrasound imaging, we’ll map out the underlying structures of your skin in real time. This allows us to identify the exact layers where treatment will be most effective, ensuring precision and safety.
Ultrasound Energy Delivery
Once your treatment plan is established, we apply a thin layer of ultrasound gel to the target areas. A specialized handheld applicator is then placed against your skin to deliver focused ultrasound energy beneath the surface.
As the energy is delivered, you may feel a sensation of warmth, tingling, or slight pressure. These are signs that collagen-building activity is being stimulated deep within the skin. While comfort levels vary by individual and treatment area, most patients tolerate the procedure well without the need for numbing cream or pain medication.
Treatment Duration and Area Coverage
The length of your session will depend on the size and number of areas being treated:
- Brow or chin: approximately 30 minutes
- Neck: around 45 minutes
- Full face and neck: 60 to 90 minutes
- Chest (décolletage): about 30 minutes
Because Ultherapy® is non-invasive, there are no incisions, sutures, or surface damage to the skin.
Immediate Post-Treatment and Recovery
Once your session is complete, you’re free to return to your day. There’s no required downtime. Some patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness in the hours following treatment, but these effects are typically temporary and usually resolve within one to two days.
You won’t see dramatic changes immediately, but the process of collagen regeneration will begin beneath the surface, gradually revealing firmer, more lifted skin over the weeks ahead.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Ultherapy®?
Ultherapy® is an ideal option for individuals experiencing early to moderate signs of skin laxity, particularly in areas such as the brows, neck, jawline, and chest. You may be a great candidate if you:
- Notice mild to moderate skin sagging or loss of firmness
- Want a non-surgical solution for lifting and tightening
- Prefer natural, gradual results over dramatic changes
- Are not ready for or do not want cosmetic surgery
- Are in overall good health with realistic expectations
Patients in their 30s commonly choose Ultherapy® to 60s who want to restore a firmer, more youthful look without needles or downtime.
Frequently Asked Questions About Ultherapy
What makes UltherapyⓇ so unique?
Apart from laser therapy, UltherapyⓇ uses sound energy, which grants access to the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate the production of collagen at the skin’s base. Other treatment options that grant such access to the skin can require invasive measures. UltherapyⓇ can very effectively revitalize the skin in a completely non-invasive fashion.
How long does skin rejuvenation through UltherapyⓇ take?
The duration of your UltherapyⓇ treatment will depend on the size and location of the designated treatment area. Generally, rejuvenating the chest can take around 30 minutes, while face and neck rejuvenation can take between 60-90 minutes.
Will I need to set aside downtime following my UltherapyⓇ treatment?
No, those who undergo skin tightening with UltherapyⓇ will not be required to plan a period of recovery following their treatment. You can continue your schedule as soon as you leave from your appointment!
Does Ultherapy® hurt?
Most patients describe Ultherapy® as moderately uncomfortable but tolerable. You may feel warmth, tingling, or a brief stinging sensation as the ultrasound energy is delivered deep beneath the skin. These sensations are a sign that collagen production is being activated. Discomfort levels vary depending on the area treated and individual sensitivity; however, no anesthesia or numbing cream is typically required.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients achieve noticeable results from a single treatment. However, depending on your degree of skin laxity and personal goals, your provider may recommend additional sessions or yearly maintenance treatments to help prolong and enhance results.
How much does Ultherapy® cost?
Ultherapy® pricing can vary based on the areas being treated, the depth of treatment required, and your personal goals for lifting and firming the skin. Whether you’re targeting the brow, neck, jawline, or décolletage, your plan will be customized to achieve natural, effective results.
While we do not list specific prices online, our team will provide a clear, detailed overview of your treatment costs during your consultation—so you’ll know exactly what to expect. We’re happy to answer any questions about pricing, treatment combinations, or how Ultherapy® can fit into your overall aesthetic plan.
Can Ultherapy® be combined with other treatments?
Yes, Ultherapy® pairs well with other non-invasive aesthetic treatments. Many patients choose to combine it with options like BOTOX®, dermal fillers, or skin resurfacing treatments for a more comprehensive rejuvenation plan. During your consultation, we’ll recommend a customized treatment strategy tailored to your skin type, goals, and individual needs.
