Read article →What is Ultherapy Treatment?
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy that targets deeper layers of the skin. It may be considered by patients with concerns such as lines on areas like the face, neck, or chest. Outcomes can vary between patients.
What Areas Can Be Targeted With Ultherapy?
The skin around the following areas of the body can be targeted using Ultherapy:
- Face
- Forehead
- Lower face
- Jawline
- Neck
- Skin around the eyes
- Eyebrows
- Décolletage (chest area)
How Ultherapy Works
Before the procedure, the treatment area is cleaned, and a layer of ultrasound gel is applied. A handpiece is then placed against the skin, allowing ultrasound energy to be delivered in a controlled way.
The technology focuses ultrasound waves at specific depths beneath the skin surface. This creates a warming effect in those layers, which can support changes in skin structure. Ultherapy can be applied to areas such as the face, neck, or chest, depending on the patient’s concerns.
Ultherapy Vs. Lasers
Ultherapy is different from laser treatment as it uses sound energy to bypass the skin’s surface. This allows access to deeper layers of the skin, which other procedures cannot reach. Most lasers rely on light energy, meaning they can only reach the foundational layers of the skin.

Risks and complications associated with Ultherapy include:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Tenderness
- Bruising
- Temporary numbness or tingling
- Skin sensitivity
- Pain or discomfort during the procedure

Frequently asked questions
The cost of Ultherapy can vary widely depending on the treatment area, geographic location, and the provider’s experience.
A single Ultherapy treatment usually takes between 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. Smaller areas, such as the brow or chin, may take less time.
Results from Ultherapy may develop gradually over two to three months as the skin responds to the treatment. Some patients may notice changes earlier, while for others it can take longer.
The results of Ultherapy can last up to a year or more, depending on individual factors such as skin condition and the ageing process. Maintenance treatments may be recommended.
Patients may feel some discomfort during Ultherapy, such as warmth or tingling in the treated area. After the procedure, redness, swelling, or tenderness may occur. These effects can settle within a few days.
Ultherapy may be considered by patients with concerns such as lines in areas like the face, neck, or chest. It can be an option for those who prefer a non-surgical approach. Suitability depends on individual factors and is discussed during consultation.
