“I have had no hesitation recommending this treatment.”

—River Medical Client on Ultherapy – Skin Tightening

“I decided to opt for an Ultherapy treatment on my face and neck last year and was absolutely delighted with the results. It takes approximately three months to work so l'd pretty much forgotten about it until my pals started asking me what / was doing differently. They all saw a huge change. My skin is definitely brighter and tighter and I have had no hesitation recommending this treatment to anyone middle-aged looking to rejuvenate and tighten their skin without surgery.”

Your Procedure

Some patients see an initial effect right after their treatment, but the real results appear over 3-6MONTHS months as new collagen works to lift and tighten.

While Ultherapy won’t duplicate the results of a facelift, it targets the same layer that is lifted and tightened during a facelift. Ultherapy is the clinically provern non-invasive alternative for those not ready for surgery: and can even be an option for patients who wish to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery.

The actual treatment involves the application of ultrasound gel to the skin. Ultrasound imaging is then used to see deep within the skin so we can visualise exactly where we are treating within the skill which makes the treatment so unique and totally customised to each and every patient. The energy is then applied beneath the skin’s surface using a hand held applicator. During the treatment delivery, you will feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initiated.

Comfort levels can vary from person to person, but the sensation only lasts while the energy is being delivered.

The length of your treatment will depend on the area being treated and your individual treatment plan. A face and neck procedure typically takes 60-90 minutes, while a chest treatment takes approximately 30 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ultherapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production, effectively lifting and tightening the skin on the face, neck, and décolletage.

The duration varies depending on the area treated; a full face and neck procedure typically takes 60–120 minutes, while a chest treatment takes approximately 30 minutes.

Patients often notice initial effects immediately after treatment, with full results developing over 2–3 months as new collagen forms, leading to lifted and tightened skin.

Ultherapy requires no downtime; patients can resume normal activities immediately post-treatment.

Unlike lasers, which target the skin’s surface, Ultherapy penetrates deeper layers without affecting the surface, making it suitable for deeper tissue lifting.
