Ultherapy
Why settle for surface-level when you can target the SMAS layer—the same foundation addressed in surgical facelifts?
What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a premier non-invasive lifting treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen deep within the skin's foundational layer (SMAS layer). Unlike lasers that treat the surface, Ultherapy bypasses the skin surface to deliver energy at optimal depths, temperature, and precision. It effectively tightens, lifts, and rejuvenates the face and neck without any surgery or downtime, making it a top choice for natural-looking anti-aging results.
Deep Visualization: Ultherapy is unique because it allows doctors to ""See"" the layers of tissue they are treating. This ensures the energy is delivered safely to where it will be most beneficial, avoiding bone and blood vessels.
Recommended Candidates
- Want firmer, lifted skin without surgery
- Feel early signs of sagging around the jawline, cheeks, or neck
- Wish to maintain youthful skin elasticity and contour
3 Main Benefits

Visible Lifting Effect
Directly targets the SMAS layer and restores firmness and tightness in the skin.

Collagen Regeneration
Stimulates natural collagen production for long-term results.

Non-invasive & No Downtime
Resume daily life immediately after treatment.
How It Works
- A topical numbing cream is applied for 30-45 minutes to minimize discomfort. The doctor maps out the treatment areas (jawline, cheeks, neck).
- The doctor uses the Ultherapy transducer to visualize the skin layers in real-time and delivers focused ultrasound energy to the precise depth needed.
- There may be slight redness or tenderness, but this subsides quickly. You can apply makeup right away.

Before Procedure
Weakened collagen causes sagging and fine lines.

During Procedure
Focused ultrasound energy stimulates new collagen deep within the skin.

After Procedure
Collagen regenerates naturally, tightening and lifting the skin over time. (in 2~3 Months)
