Not turning back the clock,
but rebuilding

Ulthera is a non-surgical lifting procedure that delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound directly to the SMAS layer. Because it acts at the same depth a surgeon lifts, it is the choice when the cause of sagging lies in the fascia.

It is done without incisions and allows a same-day return to daily life. That said, results are most visible not on the day of treatment but about three months later.

There is no single procedure that suits everyone

We recommend it for

  • Those in their mid-30s and older whose jawline is beginning to blur
  • Cases where sagging cheeks have deepened the nasolabial folds
  • Those for whom surgery feels daunting and who cannot afford downtime
  • Cases where the skin is thick enough and fascial laxity is the main cause
  • Those who want to address the foundation before fat grafting or filler

We do not recommend it when

  • The skin is very thin and there is insufficient subcutaneous fat
  • The cause of sagging is volume loss rather than fascial laxity
  • There is active inflammation or infection at the treatment site
  • You are pregnant
  • There is a metal implant or pacemaker at the treatment site

We explain why we do not recommend it. When it is not the right indication, we suggest an alternative, or if it is not needed, we do not recommend the procedure at all.

COST

Why "how much is Ulthera?"
cannot be answered with a single number

The same procedure yields a different quote depending on the conditions. First, we make clear what drives the cost.

01

Number of shots

The biggest variable. It depends on the facial area and the degree of sagging, and we confirm it together on the device screen before and after treatment.

02

Tip combination

It depends on how the 1.5 / 3.0 / 4.5mm tips are allocated. The cartridge cost differs by layer.

03

Treatment area

Whether it is the whole face or just the lower face, and whether the neck is included, changes the area considerably.

04

Anesthesia method

It depends on whether numbing cream alone is used or an additional pain-management protocol is applied.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • It varies between individuals but is generally 8 to 12 months. Collagen regeneration unfolds not on the day of treatment but over the following 8 to 12 weeks, so results are most visible at around 3 months. The duration depends on age, skin thickness, the existing degree of sagging and lifestyle habits.
  • Temporary redness and swelling, tenderness at the treatment site, and rarely bruising or a temporary reduction in sensation, may occur, and most resolve within a few days. Very rarely, temporary nerve-irritation symptoms have been reported.
  • Including about 30 minutes for numbing cream to take effect, the whole process takes about 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours. It varies with the treatment area and number of shots, and we let you know the estimated time when you book.
