Overview
What Is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure proven to lift and tighten skin on the neck, under the chin, and brow, and to smooth lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. Unlike topical treatments or surface-level technologies, Ultherapy works deep within the skin’s foundational layers to stimulate your body’s own natural collagen production. No surgery, no needles, no downtime.
At Rhett Women’s Center Aesthetics, our certified team is trained to deliver Ultherapy treatments to all FDA-cleared areas, helping you achieve a naturally refreshed, lifted appearance on the areas most affected by aging and gravity.
How It Works
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy, the same technology used safely in medicine for over 50 years, to reach the deep structural layers of skin typically only addressed through surgery. What sets it apart is built-in real-time ultrasound imaging, which allows our providers to actually see the tissue layers being treated and precisely target where the energy will be most effective.
This focused energy triggers a natural healing response that stimulates new collagen production at three distinct skin layers simultaneously, lifting, tightening, and smoothing from the inside out, without disturbing the skin’s surface.
As our provider Lynda Avera, ARNP puts it: “Ultherapy is uniquely able to deliver one very effective treatment to produce skin tightening results. One and done.”
What Can Be Treated
Ultherapy is FDA-cleared to address a wide range of common aging concerns across several areas:
Neck and Under the Chin
Loose skin, neck fat, double chin
Brow and Eyes
Drooping brows, aging eyelids
Face and Jawline
Skin laxity, frown lines, volume loss, loss of definition
Décolletage
Chest lines and wrinkles
What to Expect
During treatment, you’ll feel small pulses of warmth as ultrasound energy is delivered to the deeper tissue layers, a sign the collagen-stimulating process is underway. Most patients find it very comfortable, and you can return to normal activities immediately afterward. Some temporary redness or mild swelling may occur but resolves quickly.
Some patients notice an initial improvement right away, but full results develop over two to three months as new collagen continues to build. Results are natural-looking, clinically proven, and backed by over one million treatments worldwide. While Ultherapy won’t replicate a surgical facelift, it is a highly effective non-invasive alternative for those not ready for surgery, or looking to maintain and extend prior cosmetic results.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Most patients achieve their desired results with a single session. Because results develop gradually over two to three months, many patients return annually to maintain their outcome. Your provider will recommend a plan based on your skin and your goals.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Ultherapy works best for men and women noticing mild to moderate skin laxity on the neck, chin, brow, or chest who prefer a non-surgical approach. A consultation with our team will confirm whether Ultherapy is right for you.
