What is Ultherapy (HIFU)?

Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. It's the only FDA-cleared non-invasive procedure to lift skin on the neck, chin, and brow—with visible improvement developing over 2-3 months without surgery or downtime.

What to Know Before You Go

💡

Pro Tip:

Ultherapy works best for mild to moderate skin laxity. Combine with skinboosters or PRP for enhanced results. If you have significant sagging, discuss whether surgical options might be more effective.

⚠️

Insider Note:

Discomfort during treatment is normal — it means the energy is reaching the correct depth. Results develop gradually over 2–3 months as collagen rebuilds, so don't judge final outcome until 3–6 months post-treatment.
