Ultherapy uses high-intensity focused ultrasound and is one of the most advanced non-invasive lifting treatments available in the U.S.
It focuses energy deep into the skin’s SMAS layer — the same support layer addressed in a surgical facelift — for a true deep lift. Rather than working only on the surface, Ultherapy bypasses the epidermis to reach the structural support layer, stimulating fresh collagen production to address laxity, sagging and blurred contours at their source. New collagen forms gradually, so results build over the weeks following treatment.

Key Benefits
Lifts deep contours
Energy reaches the SMAS layer to tighten structural tissue — improving smile lines, a blurred jawline and facial sagging.
Stimulates new collagen
Focused thermal points trigger natural repair, so skin gradually becomes firmer and more resilient.
Refines jawline & chin
Targeting the jawline and under-chin helps tighten loose tissue for a clean, defined contour.
Good to Know
- Non-invasive, with no surgery and typically minimal downtime
- Usually a single session per area, with optional annual touch-ups
- Results develop gradually over two to three months as collagen rebuilds
- Temporary tenderness, redness or swelling can occur
Results vary from person to person. See our 2026 NYC skin-tightening price guide.
