Ultherapy Defined
Ultherapy is the first and only FDA-approved energy-based device for aesthetics with a non-invasive "lift" indication. It uses ultrasound energy to reach the damaged layers of the skin that cause it to "sag" without disrupting the skin's surface.
After an Ultherapy treatment, improvements can begin immediately – including some skin contraction and firming. Just as with building new muscle, the building of new collagen occurs gradually over the next 2 to 3 months. Ultherapy is a wonderful option for someone looking for a non-surgical way to counter the effects of gravity on the skin.
More about the benefits of Ultherapy:
- Ultherapy constitutes a brand new category in aesthetics: non-invasive tissue lifting.
- For the first time, we can see below the skin's surface and then treat the deep support structures of connective tissue without disrupting the uppermost layers of skin.
- Ultherapy triggers the body's natural response mechanism, which is to rejuvenate tired collagen and supplement it with fresh, new collagen.
- A full face and neck Ultherapy treatment takes 60 minutes and there is no associated downtime. A partial face treatment can take as little as 30 minutes.
- Clinical studies demonstrate consistent lifting of the brow after just 1 treatment, which creates a more, open look to the eyes and a more refreshed look overall.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Does it hurt?
Comfort thresholds vary from patient to patient, but there can be some discomfort while the energy is being delivered, which is temporary and a signal that the collagen-building process has been initiated. We take measures to make the experience as pleasant as possible with our pain management program and most patients are comfortable and excited about the benefits to come.
Are there any side effects?
There may be slight redness for a few hours following treatment. It's not uncommon to have slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to the touch for a few weeks, but these effects are typically mild and short-lived. There can be other post-procedural effects such as small areas of numbness and bruising, but these are less common and, again, temporary.
How is Ultherapy different from other cosmetic procedures?
Ultherapy is the only nonsurgical cosmetic procedure that uses ultrasound to specifically target the foundational layer of facial tissue that doctors address in surgery. The use of ultrasound also enables us to actually see the layers of skin we are treating, allowing the energy to be delivered precisely to the area where it will be most productive.
Is it safe?
Ultrasound energy has a proven track record with use in medical imaging for over 50 years. In addition, the procedure has been cleared by the FDA after demonstrating safety in clinical studies, and tens of thousands of treatments have been performed worldwide without any significant adverse events.
Who is a good candidate for Ultherapy?
There is a broad range of people who can benefit from Ultherapy, but typically those in their 30s and above are candidates. Although this procedure is not a replacement for surgery, there are many people who want some lifting benefits in order to look more refreshed and toned, but who are not ready for surgery (mentally, financially, or logistically). And then there are younger people who want to "stay ahead of the game" as well as those looking to prolong the effect of surgery.
Can men have it done?
Yes; both women and men globally are receiving Ultherapy.
