Ultherapy
What is a Non-surgical facelift?
A non-surgical facelift is a procedure that rejuvenates facial skin with Ultherapy, an innovative medical device that uses ultrasound – high-frequency sound waves. It’s FDA-cleared to treat your face and neck by lifting skin on the neck, under the chin, and above the brow, and to improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the décolletage.
How does Ultherapy achieve a non-surgical facelift?
An aesthetician will place the Ultherapy applicator against your skin, and it then sends ultrasound energy safely through your skin to targeted areas beneath the surface. The device has a unique imaging system that allows your aesthetician to visualize the tissues while they’re being treated, which ensures optimal treatment.
Ultrasound energy heats the targeted tissues, stimulating a natural healing response that promotes the production of new collagen and elastin. As old skin is replaced, your fresh skin is stronger, tighter, and has a better texture. Over time, the process lifts your skin and diminishes wrinkles.
Treatment Areas
Ultherapy can help improve:
- Brow lift: Gently elevates the brow for a more open, refreshed eye area
- Under‑chin and neck laxity: Reduces sagging and improves jawline definition
- Décolletage lines: Smooths fine lines and improves skin quality on the chest
- Lower face: Helps address jowls and overall facial laxity
Are You a Candidate?
Ultherapy is ideal for adults who have mild to moderate skin laxity but are not ready for surgery. Good candidates are those who want a lifted, more youthful appearance without incisions, anesthesia, or significant downtime.
A personalized consultation with our expert team at Bopp Dermatology & Facial Plastic Surgery ensures the best treatment plan based on your goals, skin quality, and anatomy.
What should you expect during and after the procedure?
Your first step is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Felix Bopp. To be sure that Ultherapy is the best option for you, Dr. Bopp evaluates your skin and talks with you about your concerns and the results you’d like to see.
Ultherapy treatment is performed by highly trained aestheticians. The aesthetician first applies ultrasound gel on the treatment area, then places the smooth ultrasound applicator against your skin. After using Ultherapy’s ultrasound imaging to determine where to target the treatment, ultrasound energy is delivered deep beneath the skin.
Ultherapy treatments are typically completed in 30 to 120 minutes, depending on the area being treated. During the procedure, you may feel a series of gentle warming sensations and brief pulses of energy as the ultrasound works below the skin's surface. Most patients describe it as comfortably tolerable. Your skin may appear flushed right after treatment, but this should disappear in a few hours. Some people also develop mild swelling, bruising or tenderness. None of the side effects are serious enough to require downtime for recovery. You can go back to your normal routine as soon as your treatment is finished.
When will you see results?
You may see a small effect right after Ultherapy treatment, but it takes time for your body to regenerate collagen. You’ll see gradual changes with ultimate results developing in three to six months, depending on the patient's age. If you’re looking to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate your skin without surgery, Ultherapy offers a proven, effective solution. Contact us today to schedule your consultation.
