Ulthera (HIFU)

The benchmark FDA-cleared ultrasound lifting treatment

Ulthera is the only non-surgical lifting device cleared by the US FDA,
delivering High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) energy deep into the skin
to drive natural collagen regeneration and lifting.

1. What is Ulthera?

Ultherapy (Ulthera) is a non-surgical lifting treatment that uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU).

Ultrasound energy is precisely delivered to the deep SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer, stimulating collagen regeneration and producing a gradual, natural lifting effect.

What Makes Ulthera Special

FDA-Cleared

The only ultrasound device officially cleared by the US FDA for non-surgical lifting.

Targets the SMAS Layer

Delivers energy to the same deep musculoaponeurotic layer addressed in surgical lifting, producing fundamental lift.

Real-Time Imaging

Built-in ultrasound visualizes the tissue under the skin in real time, so energy is delivered to exactly the right depth.

2. How Ulthera Works

Without damaging the skin surface, Ulthera creates precise thermal coagulation points in the deep skin layers.

1

Thermal Coagulation Points

Ultrasound energy creates precise micro thermal coagulation points at 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm depths.

2

Collagen Regeneration

The wound-healing response to controlled heat naturally produces new collagen and elastin.

3

Gradual Lifting

Over 1–3 months, as collagen regenerates, a natural lifting effect gradually appears.

3. Treatment Areas

Ulthera can be used across the face and neck.

Drooping eyelids

Cheeks

4. Advantages of Ulthera

Non-Surgical, No Incisions

Lifting effect from ultrasound energy alone — no scars to worry about.

Immediate Return to Daily Life

Normal activities resume right after treatment — no recovery period required.

Gradual, Natural Improvement

Effects develop slowly over 1–3 months — so naturally that even people around you typically don't notice the change.

FDA-Cleared Safety

A validated treatment recognized by the US FDA for both lifting efficacy and safety.

5. Aftercare

Cleansing and Makeup OK the Same Day

You can cleanse and wear makeup the same day. Avoid aggressive scrubs and chemical peels for 1 week.

Sunscreen Is Essential

Apply sunscreen thoroughly and minimize direct sun exposure after treatment.

When Results Appear

You may feel subtle tightening immediately after treatment; the full lifting effect develops gradually over 1–3 months.

Hydration Matters

Skin can feel dry after treatment, so generous hydration supports a better outcome.

How Long Results Last

Ulthera lifting results vary by individual but typically last 1–2 years. Periodic maintenance sessions help extend the effect.
