Non-surgical skin lifting
Ultherapy is an advanced ultrasound device used to treat sagging skin of the face, neck and chest. It can reduce skin laxity, treat wrinkles, improve jawline definition, achieve brow lifting, and rejuvenate the decolletage.

Ultherapy Treatment at a Glance
Collagen Stimulation
Ultherapy targets deep layers of the skin and underlying tissue with focused ultrasound energy. This triggers the production of new collagen over time, which is vital for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. The natural progression of collagen rebuilding ensures that results appear natural and not overly sudden.
Individual Customisation
During treatment, the underlying dermal and subdermal tissue layers can be visualised through ultrasound. This visualisation allows customised targeting of tissue with ultrasound to maximise treatment efficacy and safety.
Safety
Ultherapy is non-invasive, meaning it doesn't involve cutting or disrupting the skin's surface. This results in minimal downtime for patients, as there is no need for recovery or healing from incisions. Most people can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment
FAQs
What does treatment involve?
The treatment begins with an initial consultation where a trained practitioner assesses the patient’s skin condition, discusses their goals, and determines if Ultherapy is suitable. On the day of the procedure, the skin is cleaned, and a topical anesthetic or oral medication may be administered to minimize discomfort. The actual procedure starts with the practitioner using ultrasound imaging to visualize the layers of tissue being targeted. This ensures that the ultrasound energy is delivered to the precise depth necessary for optimal results. The device then delivers focused ultrasound energy to the skin’s foundational layers, heating the tissue, which stimulates collagen production and causes a tightening effect. The ultrasound energy is delivered in pulses, with the depth adjusted based on the area being treated. The duration of the Ultherapy procedure typically ranges between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
When will I see effects from treatment?
Results can be see immediately post-treatment. However, since collagen production takes time, further improvements in skin tightness and lift become noticeable over two to three months. Some patients continue to see improvements for up to six months. Follow-up visits may be scheduled to monitor progress and assess results, and some patients may benefit from additional treatments depending on their skin's response and aesthetic goals.
How do I know if ultherapy is for me?
One of the significant benefits of Ultherapy is that it is non-invasive, involving no incisions or needles, and has minimal downtime, allowing patients to resume their normal activities immediately. However, some patients may experience discomfort during the procedure, although this varies. It’s also important to note that Ultherapy is best suited for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity.
