How Ultherapy Works
Ultherapy lifts and tightens skin gradually from the inside out—without surgery or downtime.
Weakened collagen fibers
Over time, underlying
changes to the skin tissue
result in lines, wrinkles and
sagging skin.
The Science
Face and Neck
Ultrasound energy is delivered
Ultherapy delivers ultrasound
energy non-invasively to
heat skin tissue at multiple
depths, triggering a natural
regenerative response that
stimulates the growth of
new collagen.
Chest
Tighter skin in 2–3 months
Results appear gradually
over 2–3 months and
improvements can
continue up to 6 months
after treatment.

The Ultherapy Difference: Depth and Temperature
Only Ultherapy provides the optimal treatment depth to lift skin without cutting or
disturbing the surface of the skin.

The Ultherapy Difference: Precision
The Ulthera® System, used to perform Ultherapy, is the only non-invasive device that allows
clinicians to see precisely what layers of tissue they are treating. The system’s patented
DeepSEE® visualization technology provides an added level of precision and safety to the
Ultherapy treatment.

The Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate for a face and neck treatment has mild to moderate skin laxity.
Individual results will vary, based on:
•Laxity (excess or loose skin)
•Quality (wrinkles or sun damage)
•Volume (amount and distribution of fat)
•Age, health and lifestyle

What to Expect Post-Treatment
Ultherapy works by repairing and strengthening tissue from the inside out—a process
that takes place gradually over time with the creation of new collagen. While individual
responses will vary, the following experiences have been reported by patients.
1 week after treatment
•Slight lifting, toning and plumping of fine lines
•Minor swelling, slight tenderness to the touch,
tingling or numbness, occasional minor bruising
1 month after treatment
•Slight lifting and toning
•Tighter feel with smoother texture
•Slight tenderness to the touch, tingling or numbness
3–6 months after treatment
•Additional lifting and toning
•Brow elevation
•Less sagging
•Smoother texture and more even skin tone
Periodic touch-up treatments may help to offset the skin’s natural aging process.

Potential Side Effects
Patients can return to normal activities immediately after the Ultherapy® treatment.
•The skin might appear flushed at first, but the redness should disappear
within a few hours.
•Some patients experience mild and temporary swelling, which resolves
within 72 hours, or tingling or tenderness to the touch, which typically
resolves within 2 days to 2 weeks.
•In rare cases, there can be temporary bruising or numbness on small
areas of skin.
As with any medical procedure, there are possible risks associated with the treatment.
•There is a remote risk of a burn that may or may not lead to scarring, which
may respond to medical care.
•There may be temporary nerve injury, which will resolve in a matter of weeks.
•Occasional temporary effects can include bruising or welts, which resolve within
1 to 3 weeks.
•Specific to the décolletage treatment, the treated area may exhibit a localized
area of linear visible edema (swelling) following treatment. This typically
resolves within 1 day to 3 weeks after treatment.
