Ultherapy® continues to stand alone as the only non-invasive skin lifting and tightening treatment with unique micro-focused ultrasound technology and real-time visualization (MFU-V).1,5
This non-invasive procedure uses microfocused ultrasound to trigger aggressive collagen synthesis, treating the same deep tissue planes as a modern facelift.1,9
Ultrasound visualization—employed during planning and energy application—makes the Ultherapy® treatment uniquely precise and customizable.1,5
Ultherapy® precisely targets dermal and subcutaneous tissues to create thermal coagulation points (TCPs), heating tissues to the optimal temperature for collagen contraction and denaturation. As part of the body’s wound healing response, long-term collagen remodeling delivers a gradual, natural-looking lift. Results can last a year or more.1-9
Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared noninvasive lift effective for women, men and suitable for all skintypes and is certified in the EU as a medical device class II.5,10-12
