Ultherapy Prime® Skin Tightening & Non-Surgical Facelift
Lift, Tighten & Rejuvenate Naturally with Ultherapy®
Looking for a non-surgical facelift that delivers natural-looking results? Ultherapy® is an advanced ultrasound skin tightening treatment designed to lift, firm, and rejuvenate the skin by stimulating your body's natural collagen production.
FDA-cleared and clinically proven, Ultherapy targets the deep foundational layers of the skin without surgery, needles, or downtime. Whether you're concerned about laxity in the face, neck, upper arms, abdomen, knees, or chest, Ultherapy helps restore a firmer, more youthful appearance over time.
What Is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production deep beneath the skin's surface. Unlike lasers and other skin rejuvenation treatments that primarily target superficial skin layers, Ultherapy reaches the deeper structural tissues where aging begins.
Using advanced real-time ultrasound imaging, Ultherapy allows providers to see beneath the skin and precisely deliver energy at the appropriate treatment depths. This unique technology ensures a customized treatment tailored to your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
As new collagen develops, the skin gradually becomes firmer, tighter, and more lifted, creating a refreshed and natural appearance without surgery.
How Ultherapy Targets the SMAS Layer
One of the reasons Ultherapy® is considered the gold standard in non-surgical lifting is its ability to reach the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS) layer, the same foundational tissue layer addressed during a surgical facelift.
The SMAS acts as the structural support network of the face and neck. As we age, collagen loss and tissue laxity within this layer contribute to sagging skin, jowls, loss of jawline definition, and overall facial descent.
Most non-invasive treatments work closer to the surface of the skin. Ultherapy is uniquely capable of delivering focused ultrasound energy to multiple treatment depths, including the SMAS layer, helping to tighten and lift from the foundation upward.
By stimulating collagen production deep within the skin's support structure, Ultherapy promotes natural-looking rejuvenation while preserving your unique facial features and expressions.
Precision Treatment with Real-Time Ultrasound Imaging
Ultherapy is the only non-invasive skin tightening treatment that incorporates real-time ultrasound visualization.
During treatment, your provider can actually see the tissue layers beneath the skin before delivering energy. This allows for precise placement of ultrasound energy exactly where collagen stimulation will be most effective.
Rather than treating blindly, real-time imaging helps providers:
Visualize individual tissue layers
Identify the optimal treatment depth
Customize treatment based on patient anatomy
Deliver energy safely and accurately
Maximize treatment outcomes
This advanced imaging technology is one of the key factors that sets Ultherapy apart from other skin tightening procedures.

What to Expect During Treatment
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your skin concerns and determine whether Ultherapy is right for you.
During the procedure:
Ultrasound imaging is used to visualize treatment layers.
Focused ultrasound energy is delivered beneath the skin.
Multiple treatment depths may be targeted depending on the area.
Most treatments take between 30 and 90 minutes.
Patients can typically resume normal daily activities immediately afterward.
Some patients may experience temporary redness, tenderness, mild swelling, or tingling, which generally resolves within several days.
Ultherapy Results
Ultherapy works by activating your body's natural collagen-building process. Because collagen regeneration takes time, results develop gradually and continue to improve over the months following treatment.
Many patients begin noticing subtle improvements within a few weeks, with optimal results appearing over 3 to 6 months.
Benefits may include:
Firmer, tighter skin
Improved jawline definition
Lifted appearance of the brow and neck
Improved skin elasticity
Reduced appearance of sagging
More youthful facial and body contours
Results vary based on age, skin condition, lifestyle, and individual collagen response.
Many patients enjoy results that can last one year or longer, depending on their natural aging process.
The Foundation of a Comprehensive Rejuvenation Plan
Think of Ultherapy as treating the foundation of aging.
As we age, skin concerns develop at multiple levels. Some concerns originate deep within the skin's support structure, while others appear on the surface.
Ultherapy addresses the deeper structural component by stimulating collagen production in the skin's foundational layers, including the SMAS. This helps improve skin laxity, sagging, and loss of facial definition.
However, concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, melasma, acne scarring, and texture often require additional treatments that target more superficial layers of the skin.

Ultherapy® is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate your body's natural collagen production. By targeting deep structural layers of the skin, including the SMAS layer, Ultherapy helps lift, firm, and tighten the skin without surgery or downtime.
-
Most skin rejuvenation treatments focus on the surface of the skin or the upper dermis. Ultherapy is unique because it can reach deeper tissue layers, including the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System), which is the same foundational layer addressed during a surgical facelift.
Ultherapy also features real-time ultrasound imaging, allowing providers to visualize the tissue layers beneath the skin and customize treatment delivery with precision.
-
Ultherapy can be used on several areas of the face and body, including:
Full Face
Brow and Forehead
Cheeks
Jawline and Jowls
Under the Chin
Neck
Décolletage (Chest)
Upper Arms
Abdomen
Knees
-
Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound energy into targeted tissue layers beneath the skin. This energy triggers the body's natural healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin over time. As collagen rebuilds, skin becomes firmer, tighter, and more lifted.
-
The SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) is a layer of tissue that acts as a support structure for the face and neck. As collagen decreases with age, this layer can weaken, contributing to sagging skin and loss of facial definition.
Ultherapy is one of the only non-invasive treatments that can target this foundational layer, helping improve skin laxity from the inside out.
-
Comfort levels vary from person to person. During treatment, patients may experience temporary sensations of warmth, tingling, or energy being deposited beneath the skin. These sensations indicate that the collagen-building process has been activated.
Any discomfort is typically temporary, and your provider can discuss options to maximize comfort during treatment.
-
Treatment time depends on the area being treated. Most sessions take approximately 30 to 90 minutes.
-
One of the benefits of Ultherapy is that there is typically little to no downtime. Most patients return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
Some temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or tingling may occur but generally resolves within a few days.
-
Because Ultherapy stimulates your body's natural collagen production, results develop gradually.
Many patients notice subtle improvements within a few weeks, while optimal results are typically seen within 3 to 6 months following treatment.
-
Results can last one year or longer, depending on your natural aging process, skin condition, lifestyle factors, and collagen production.
Because aging continues over time, maintenance treatments are recommended to help preserve results.
-
For most patients, we recommend one treatment per year to maintain collagen stimulation and ongoing skin tightening benefits.
Your provider may recommend a personalized treatment schedule based on your individual goals and skin condition.
-
Ultherapy is an excellent option for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who want visible improvement without surgery. However, it does not produce the same degree of lifting as a surgical facelift.
Ultherapy is often considered a non-surgical alternative for patients seeking natural-looking rejuvenation with little to no downtime.
