Ultherapy

The handheld device delivers focused ultrasound energy to the deep dermal and SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layers of the skin, the same connective tissue addressed during a surgical facelift, while allowing the practitioner to visualise the tissue throughout for precision and safety. This heat stimulates the body's own collagen and elastin production, producing an immediate tightening effect that continues to improve as new collagen builds over the following months.

Treatment depends on your anatomy and goals.

• Brow and upper eyelid area
• Lower face, jawline and jowls
• Neck and under the chin
• Chest and décolletage

Ideal candidates have mild to moderate skin laxity and realistic expectations, as Ultherapy is designed to lift and tighten rather than replace surgery. Everyone starts with a consultation to assess suitability.

A session typically takes 60 to 90 minutes depending on the areas treated. You may feel warmth, tingling or brief discomfort as the energy is delivered, which settles quickly once treatment is complete. Most patients need just one session, with no downtime required afterwards.

Results build gradually as new collagen forms, with visible improvement typically seen over 3 to 6 months. Effects commonly last a year or more.
