Ultherapy is an FDA and TGA approved non-surgical ultrasound treatment that promotes growth and renewal of collagen. Through the body's regenerative response, Ultherapy can help to lift and tighten the skin, reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

Ultherapy has been safely performed for over a million treatments worldwide. Ultrasound energy is a medical-grade technology that has been used in the medical field for over 50 years. Additionally, all Ultherapy practitioners are required to undergo extensive training to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.

How long does Ultherapy take?

Depending on the treatment plan and areas, Ultherapy can take anywhere between 30-90 minutes. Face and neck treatments typically take 60-90 minutes while chest treatments take just 30 minutes.

Is there any downtime?

Ultherapy is a zero downtime treatment. This means you can return to your normal activities immediately after the treatment. You may experience some redness and swelling, but this is completely normal and will subside within a few hours.

How do I prepare for Ultherapy?

No preparation is required for Ultherapy. However, do consult with your Ultherapy specialist if you are taking any medication or supplements as they may result in higher chances of bruising. If needed, you may be asked to temporarily halt the use of these medications or supplements in the days leading up to the treatment.

What does the Ultherapy feel like?

Different patients have different experiences. Some patients may feel a slight discomfort during the treatment, while others may feel nothing at all. The sensation is often described as a warm prickling feeling, which is a sign that the ultrasound energy is being delivered to the deep layers of the skin and that the collagen-building process has been initiated.

How long will it take to see results? How long do they last?

After the treatment, the neurocollagenesis process will begin, and the results will continue to improve over the next 2-3 months. The results can last anywhere between 1-2 years, depending on the individual's skin condition and lifestyle.

How many treatments will I need?

Typically, patients only require Ultherapy to be done once a year. However, some patients may benefit from additional treatments as they age. Your Ultherapy specialist will be able to advise you on the best treatment plan for your individual needs.

Are there any side effects from Ultherapy?

After your Ultherapy treatment you may experience some redness and swelling, but this is completely normal and will subside within a few hours. Some patients may also experience slight tenderness, tingling or numbness, but these are temporary and will resolve within a few days. More serious side effects are extremely rare.

Can Ultherapy replace a surgical face lift?

Ultherapy treats the SMAS layer of the skin, which is the exact same layer used in a surgical facelift. However, Ultherapy is not a replacement for a surgical facelift. It is a non-invasive alternative that can help to lift and tighten the skin, reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. It is a great option for those who are not ready for surgery or for those looking to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery.

How does Ultherapy compare to other treatments?

The promotion of collagen growth and renewal is not limited to just Ultherapy. Other treatments such as Fotona or Thermage also use similar methods of heating to achieve skin tightening and face lifting. However, Ultherapy is the only treatment that uses ultrasound imaging to allow the practitioner to see the layers of tissue they are treating, ensuring the energy is delivered to where it will be most beneficial. This makes Ultherapy a more precise and effective treatment.

Can Ultherapy be combined with other treatments?

Ultherapy can be combined with other treatments such as Botox, dermal fillers and laser treatments. Your Ultherapy specialist will be able to advise you on the best treatment plan for your individual needs.

How can I tell if I am getting an authentic Ultherapy treatment?

To ensure you are getting an authentic Ultherapy treatment, it is important to only visit a certified Ultherapy provider.

About Ultherapy

Ultherapy is a revolutionary non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound to tighten and firm the skin. It is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that lifts the neck, chin and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest.

It works by targeting the deep layers of the skin through ultrasound heat waves, stimulating collagen production. This can reach as deep as 4.5mm under the skin, which is the same layer that is targeted during a surgical facelift.

Unlike traditional facelifts however, there is no surgery and no downtime. After Ultherapy treatments patients can immediately return to their daily activities. It is one of the most powerful yet most convenient treatments on the market today.

Treatment Areas

Ultherapy has been FDA-cleared and TGA approved on a variety of treatment areas including the forhead, eyebrows, chin, neck and decolletage.

Through its thorough application of ultrasound energy, Ultherapy can help to lift and tighten the skin, reducing the appearance of lines, wrinkles and overall sagginess. It can also help slim the jawline, improving the general face shape.

During the treatment process, your Ultherapy practioner will mark the treatment areas across the face using a white pencil. This will help to ensure an even distribution of the ultrasound applicator across the face, neck and chest.
