A non-invasive procedure that lifts the neck, chin and brow
Ultherapy
Tighter & firmer skin with Ultherapy
Ultherapy uses ultrasound therapy to stimulate collagen production. It leverages traditional ultrasound imaging so our therapists can see the layers of tissue they are treating ensuring the treatment energy is delivered to where it benefits you most.
What do our patients love?
Patients love the firmer and tighter skin on the neck, under the chin, and on the brow.
Who is it for?
The proven results of Ultherapy are clear, appearing over two to three months as new collagen works to lift skin on the neck, chin, and brow—as well as smooth skin on the upper chest. Results may improve over the following three to six months and can last a year or more. It won’t duplicate the results of a surgical facelift, but Ultherapy is a clinically proven non-invasive alternative for those not ready for surgery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Ultherapy is a non-surgical alternative to a facelift. It’s used to counteract signs of ageing like skin sagging and wrinkles on the face, neck, and chest as well as drooping of the brow area. The device stimulates collagen production, which helps to create a more youthful look.
Ultherapy used focused ultrasound at depths of 1.5mm, 3mm, and 4.5mm to cause minor thermal injuries which over time, as the body repairs itself, induces an increase in collagen production.
Ultherapy can be advantageous for people who have noticed wrinkles and/or fine lines in and around the facial area and is safe for all skin tones. Patients who wish to delay the natural ageing process are ideal candidates for Ultherapy.
