Ultherapy®
What Is Ultherapy®?
Skin laxity is one of the more gradual changes that comes with time. The jawline softens a little. The neck loses some of its definition. The skin around the brows and eyes begins to feel heavier. These are normal changes, but they do not have to go unaddressed.
At Longevity Lab & Aesthetics, Ultherapy® fits naturally into our wellness-first approach because it works entirely beneath the surface without disturbing the skin above it. Focused ultrasound energy is delivered to the deeper structural layers of the skin, the same layers a surgeon would address during a facelift, but without any incisions or recovery. Your body responds to that energy by producing new collagen over time, which gradually tightens and lifts the treated areas from within.
The results are yours because your body made them.

Treatment Areas
Ultherapy® is specifically designed for areas where skin laxity and loss of definition are the primary concerns.
Face
The brow area, upper eyelids, and overall facial contour respond well to the lifting and tightening effects of Ultherapy®. It is particularly effective for people who are beginning to notice heaviness or softening in the upper and mid face.
Jawline and Jowls
One of the most popular treatment areas. Ultherapy® helps restore definition along the jaw and reduce the early softening of jowls without surgery.
Neck and Under Chin
Loose or crepey skin along the neck and under the chin is one of Ultherapy®’s most consistent areas of improvement, producing a more defined and elongated appearance over time.
Chest and Décolletage
Ultherapy® is FDA-cleared for improving the appearance of lines and crepiness on the chest, making it one of the few non-surgical options for this area.
Benefits of Ultherapy®
Because Ultherapy® works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production rather than filling or resurfacing, the results develop gradually and feel entirely natural.
Lifts and tightens from within.
Focused ultrasound reaches the structural layer beneath the skin where real lifting begins.
Stimulates your own collagen.
Results come from what your body produces in response to treatment, not from anything added to it.
Non-invasive with no downtime.
Most people return to their normal routine immediately after treatment.
Gradual, natural-looking results.
Improvement builds over two to three months, so changes look like a natural part of how you age.
Long-lasting.
Results typically hold for around 12 months, with collagen production continuing to improve the skin for several months after treatment.
Often effective in a single session.
Many people achieve meaningful results from one treatment per year.
Is This Right for You?
Ultherapy® tends to appeal to people who are beginning to notice laxity and want to address it without surgery or injectables. You may be a good fit if:
You have some looseness or softening along the jaw, neck, or under the chin
You want a non-surgical option that produces a genuine structural improvement
You prefer gradual results that develop naturally over time
You want to avoid surgery and the recovery that comes with it
You are in good general health and want a treatment that supports your skin long term
What To Expect
Ultherapy® is a straightforward treatment that requires no preparation beyond arriving with clean skin and staying well hydrated beforehand.
Your provider will begin with a conversation about the areas you want to address. An ultrasound gel is applied to the treatment area to help guide the device. During treatment, focused ultrasound energy is delivered in precise pulses to the deeper layers of the skin. You may feel warmth or a light tingling sensation during the session, which most people find manageable.
The session typically takes 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the areas treated. There is no recovery period. You can return to your normal day immediately.
Results begin to develop over the following weeks as collagen production increases. Most people notice meaningful improvement at the two to three month mark, with results continuing to build for up to six months after treatment.

Before Your Appointment
Come with clean skin and no makeup. Stay well hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment. Eat a light meal beforehand so you are comfortable during the session.
After Your Appointment
Some mild tenderness or tingling in the treated area is normal and typically resolves on its own within a few days. Avoid high-heat treatments like saunas for a few days. Stick to gentle skincare and apply SPF daily to protect your skin and support your results.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do Ultherapy® results last?
Most people see results that hold for around 12 months. Because your body continues producing collagen after treatment, results may actually improve for several months before gradually softening. Annual treatments help maintain the improvement over time.
How soon will I see results?
Some people notice a subtle difference right away. Most results become visible at the two to three-month mark as new collagen matures. The full benefit typically shows by six months.
Can Ultherapy® be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Ultherapy® works well alongside injectables, regenerative treatments, and other skin health options, depending on your goals. Your provider will help you build a plan that makes sense for where your skin is now and where you want it to go.
How often should I get Ultherapy®?
Most people find one session per year is sufficient to maintain their results. Your provider will recommend a schedule based on your skin’s response and your long-term goals.
Is there downtime?
No. Most people return to their normal routine immediately after treatment. Some mild tenderness or tingling is possible in the days following, but does not require any downtime.
How does Ultherapy® compare to a surgical facelift?
Ultherapy® works at the same structural depth as a surgical facelift but without incisions, anesthesia, or recovery time. The results are more gradual and subtle than surgery, which is exactly what most people want. It is best suited for people with early to moderate laxity rather than significant sagging, which surgery would address more effectively.
