Ultrasound skin Tightening
How to lift and tighten skin without surgery
Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that lifts the neck, chin and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest. Through the ultrasound imaging with Ultherapy, energy is delivered precisely to the place where it will benefit you most—for natural-looking results that improve over time.
We use only the top technology in the industry.

ULTHERAPY®
What is Ultherapy®?
ULTHERAPY® is the only non-invasive treatment cleared by the FDA for lifting the skin on the neck, chin, and brow, and improving lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. Ultherapy uses microfocused ultrasound to lift and tighten loose skin by stimulating the formation of new collagen deep below the skin’s surface, over time, without any downtime. It also uses ultrasound imaging, which allows practitioners to actually see the layers of tissue targeted during the treatment and ensure the energy is deposited precisely to where it will be most beneficial. The production of new collagen takes time, so results can become more apparent over three to six months, and continue to improve up to a year.
How does Ultherapy stimulate the creation of collagen?
Collagen is a natural connective tissue protein within the skin that gives the appearance of youthfulness by keeping it firm and toned. As we age, collagen breaks down, and the result is a loss of skin strength and elasticity. Ultherapy uses microfocused ultrasound to generate a thermal effect under the skin which produces fresh, new collagen by denaturing old collagen.
How does Ultherapy differ from laser treatments?
Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy which has unique properties that allow it to bypass the surface of the skin to treat deeper depths not matched by any other non-invasive cosmetic device. Ultherapy ultrasound stimulates collagen production in the skin’s foundation, resulting in a clinically significant lift of tissue over two to three months. Lasers rely on light energy, which cannot reach deeper skin layers. Typically, laser treatments only treat superficial skin and are not FDA-cleared to lift the skin.
Who is a good candidate for Ultherapy?
A good candidate for Ultherapy is someone with some degree of laxity (such as loose skin under the neck and under the chin, or lines and wrinkles on the chest), to the point of looking, and often feeling, less firm. Typically, those in their 30s and older who have mild to moderate skin laxity are suitable candidates. While Ultherapy is not a replacement for a surgical facelift, there are many people who want some facial firming and lifting but are not ready for surgery. There are also younger people interested in ‘prejuvenation’, who want to “stay ahead of the game,” as well as those who are looking for aesthetic maintenance, or a treatment without the use of needles to complement other more superficial corrective treatments for photodamage, scars and specific skin conditions that alter the color and texture of the skin.
