What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy® is an FDA-cleared, high-intensity micro-focused ultrasound treatment that reaches the deep layers of the skin. It stimulates new collagen and elastin, so the skin tightens and lifts: a surgical-like effect without a scalpel. The change is gradual and the final result shows at about three months.
Benefits
- Tighter, firmer skin
- New collagen and elastin production
- More definition in the jawline and facial contour
- No scalpel and no incisions
- Back to your normal routine the same day
Treatment areas
- Full face and lower face (jowls, jawline)

Who is it for?
Adults from around 30 who want to slow down the visible signs of aging and improve mild to moderate skin laxity.
Not recommended if you have arterial disease, venous insufficiency, open wounds or skin lesions in the area, a pacemaker, metal implants in the treatment area, or severe acne.
How the treatment works
- Medical evaluation. We review your skin, your goals and your medical history.
- Numbing. A topical anesthetic cream is applied and left on for 30 minutes.
- Marking. The treatment points are marked, respecting the anatomical risk zones.
- Treatment. The doctor chooses the right ultrasound transducers and depths for your needs. A session takes about 60 minutes, depending on the areas (full face, double chin).
Aftercare
- Keep your skin well hydrated
- Use plenty of sunscreen
- You can go back to your normal life right away
