What Is Ulthera/Ultherapy?
Ulthera, also known as Ultherapy, is a non-invasive aesthetic treatment that uses precise ultrasound energy to lift and tighten lax skin naturally without disrupting the skin's surface.
Suitable for the brows, face, chin, neck and chest, Ultherapy stimulates collagen and elastin production to restore a youthful appearance that can last approximately 2 to 3 years. Often after just a single treatment.
Ultherapy is FDA-approved and CE-marked and is often chosen as a non-surgical alternative to a facelift, with minimal downtime. Please note that this procedure should only be performed by an accredited medical professional.

Why Choose Ultherapy?
Real-time Visualisation: Ultherapy is the only non-invasive technique that utilises real-time imaging, allowing your dermatologist to see exactly where and what tissue they are treating at all times. This also facilitates a more stable and precise delivery of ultrasound energy to ensure better outcomes.
Triggers Collagen Production: Ultherapy bypasses the skin's surface to deliver focused ultrasound energy at precise depths and optimal temperatures, triggering the body's natural collagen-building response. Unlike treatments such as laser and radiofrequency, which transmit energy from the outside in and affect more superficial tissues, Ultherapy targets deeper structural layers without disrupting the skin's surface.
Personalised Treatment: Depending on your skin and fat layers and other existing facial structures, your dermatologist will determine the safest and most effective treatment depths, areas and intensities for you.
What Is the Ultherapy Procedure Like?
- Cleansing: Before the procedure begins, the treatment area is thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup, oil and surface impurities, ensuring the skin is properly prepared for treatment.
- Numbing: A topical numbing cream or oral pain relief may be applied beforehand to enhance comfort during the procedure.
- Marking: The practitioner carefully maps and marks the treatment areas to guide precise and consistent delivery of ultrasound energy.
- Application: Ultrasound gel is applied to the skin, after which the Ultherapy applicator is used to deliver focused ultrasound energy to targeted areas beneath the skin's surface.
- Customisation: Different ultrasound transducers are selected based on the treatment area and individual skin structure, allowing energy to be delivered at varying depths for optimal and safe results.
- Regeneration: The targeted ultrasound energy stimulates the skin’s natural collagen production, gradually creating a lifting and tightening effect as the skin regenerates over time.

What to Expect from Ultherapy Treatment and Results
An Ultherapy session typically takes 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the treatment area. During the procedure, patients may experience a mild heating or tingling sensation, which is generally well tolerated.
Because Ultherapy delivers precise, targeted ultrasound energy, the treatment involves little to no downtime. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after the session, with no special post-treatment care required. Mild redness, tenderness or tingling may occur, but these effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few days.
Results develop gradually over two to three months as new collagen is produced, with visible improvements continuing over time. Post-treatment results can last up to two to three years and follow-up treatments may be considered to support ongoing skin firmness as part of the natural ageing process.

When performed by an experienced and accredited dermatologist, Ultherapy can form a valuable part of a personalised skin rejuvenation plan. Effectively supporting long-term skin firmness and overall facial definition as part of the natural ageing process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Ultherapy
Ultherapy is suitable for individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity who are looking for a non-surgical option to lift and tighten the skin. It is often chosen by those who want gradual, natural-looking improvements without downtime.
Ultherapy is suitable for all skin tones, as ultrasound energy bypasses the skin's surface and does not target pigmentation, reducing the risk of surface skin damage.
Ultherapy is a non-surgical alternative for patients who are not ready for surgery or prefer a less invasive approach. While it does not produce the same results as a surgical facelift, it can effectively improve skin firmness and lifting in suitable candidates.
Ultherapy can be combined with other non-invasive or minimally invasive aesthetic treatments as part of a comprehensive rejuvenation plan. Your dermatologist will advise on appropriate combinations based on your skin concerns and treatment timeline.
Yes. Ultherapy works by stimulating your body's own collagen and elastin production, resulting in gradual, subtle and natural-looking improvements rather than sudden or dramatic changes.
