Advanced Skin Lifting Without Surgery

At our Orange County location, we specialize in non-surgical facial rejuvenation, and Ultherapy is one of our most powerful tools. FDA-cleared and clinically proven, Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production—lifting the skin and improving firmness over time. It’s an ideal option for those noticing early to moderate skin laxity along the face, jawline, neck, or décolletage. By targeting the same foundational layers treated in surgical facelifts, Ultherapy achieves visible results with zero incisions or downtime.

How Ultherapy Works

Ultherapy delivers ultrasound energy deep beneath the skin, heating the tissue layers responsible for structural support. This controlled thermal effect causes the body to begin rebuilding collagen—a key protein responsible for skin’s firmness and elasticity.

Over the following weeks and months, this new collagen gradually lifts and tightens treated areas, revealing a more youthful, sculpted appearance.

Common Treatment Areas:

  • Brow and forehead
  • Midface and cheeks
  • Jawline and jowls
  • Neck and under the chin
  • Upper chest (décolletage)

Benefits of Ultherapy

  • Non-invasive and needle-free
  • Stimulates natural collagen growth
  • Zero downtime with gradual, natural-looking results
  • Can delay or prevent the need for surgical lifting
  • Safe for all skin tones

Is Ultherapy Right for You?

Ultherapy is ideal for men and women in their 30s to 60s who are beginning to see loose, sagging, or crepey skin—but who aren’t ready for surgery. It’s also a great option for maintaining results after a facelift or thread lift.

Whether you're concerned about drooping brows, a softening jawline, or laxity in the neck or chest, Ultherapy can help restore youthful contours through collagen regeneration.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

  • Sensation: You may feel a warming or tingling sensation as the ultrasound energy penetrates the tissue. Most patients find it tolerable without anesthesia, though a topical numbing cream can be used for added comfort.
  • Duration: Treatments typically take 30–90 minutes depending on the area being treated.
  • Side Effects: Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness may occur but generally subside within a few hours to a few days.
  • Recovery: No downtime is required. You can return to normal activities immediately after your session.

When Will You See Results?

Initial skin tightening may be noticed within a few weeks, with the most significant improvements appearing between 2 and 6 months after treatment as new collagen forms.

Most patients only need one treatment to achieve results, but depending on your age and degree of skin laxity, a series of up to three sessions may be recommended.
