Ultherapy

Our Ultherapy treatments at Austin Skin & Wellness lift and tighten loose skin without surgery or needles. As your skin ages, the support layers begin to weaken, and collagen breaks down. This can leave the jawline and neck looking less defined and more aged. Ultherapy can tighten the same deep layers that are addressed during a facelift while prompting the skin to rebuild its own collagen over the following months. Brandi McMurry and our medically supervised team use it to refresh your face and neck while keeping your results looking like you.

What Is Ultherapy? 

Ultherapy is a nonsurgical ultrasound device developed by Merz Aesthetics that targets signs of aging, such as sagging and lines, with a comfortable external handpiece. It is the only FDA-cleared, noninvasive procedure that lifts and tightens the skin on the neck, chin and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the décolletage.

NewBeauty, your leading authority on today’s latest beauty trends, has named Ultherapy the “Best Nonsurgical Skin Tightener,” recognizing it as the Gold Standard treatment for nonsurgical lifting and tightening for 12 consecutive years. With deep experience in modern aesthetic care, our team is happy to help you understand how Ultherapy works and whether it may be right for your goals!

How Does Ultherapy Work?

Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy, which penetrates the skin to reach the same deep layer that surgeons target in a facelift, called the SMAS. Once there, the energy heats the tissue to a temperature that triggers a natural repair response. Your body reacts by producing new collagen and elastin, the fibers that give the skin its firmness and bounce. Over the next two to three months, this new collagen tightens and supports the skin. At Austin Skin & Wellness, this treatment is handled by trained providers under the medical direction of Dr. Eleanor Womack.

What to Expect During Treatment

The treatment starts with your provider marking the areas to be treated and applying ultrasound gel. They place the handheld device on your skin and treat each section of skin individually. As the ultrasound is delivered, you will feel heat and small pulses under the skin. This sensation tells you that collagen-building has started.

Most sessions take 30 to 90 minutes based on how many areas are treated. A full face and neck will take longer, while the small area under the chin alone takes less time. We can offer comfort measures during your visit, though patients describe the feeling as very manageable. You stay awake and comfortable the whole time, and you can drive yourself home afterward.

What to Expect After Ultherapy

With Ultherapy, there is no required downtime. Feel free to return to work and other routines on the same day as your treatment. You can expect some redness in the treated area as your body begins responding, but this will fade shortly after your appointment. Sometimes, temporary tingling or sensitivity can also occur. After your treatment, use a rich moisturizer and apply sunscreen daily to protect your skin from damaging UV rays as it builds new collagen.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon will I see results, and how long do they last?

Some patients notice some firming and tightening right away since the treatment immediately contracts existing collagen. Your full results can take up to six months to appear. While the results can last for a year or more, you can also consider touch-ups to keep your skin firm and tight.  

How many treatments will I need?

Most patients see the lift they want from a single session, which is part of what makes Ultherapy appealing. Your provider may suggest a second session if you have more advanced skin laxity or want a stronger result. After that, many people return once a year to keep collagen production active.

Am I a good candidate for Ultherapy?

Ultherapy works best for adults with mild to moderate skin laxity who want firmer skin without surgery. If your skin has begun to loosen on the neck or under the chin, you may be a good fit. If you have more severe sagging, you may be a better candidate for surgery. We will discuss this and other factors, such as overall health, with you honestly during your consultation to help you find the right treatment path.  

How does Ultherapy compare to surgical facelifts?

While both impact the same deep support layer, a facelift removes and repositions tissue through incisions and requires weeks of recovery. Ultherapy tightens the existing skin without removing the tissue and involves no downtime. A facelift delivers a larger, immediate lift, while Ultherapy results are more subtle and gradual. 

Can Ultherapy be combined with other treatments?

Some people are good candidates for combination treatments, where multiple concerns are targeted using different techniques. Sometimes Ultherapy is combined with biostimulators like Radiesse or Sculptra to stimulate even more collagen, or neuromodulators to relax dynamic wrinkles. Some treatments can be scheduled on the same day, while others should be planned on a different day to allow for more healing time.
