Skin Tightening With Ultherapy® in Los Angeles
Over the years, you may have noticed changes to your skin and face commonly associated with aging. However, just because you are growing older does not mean you have to look like it. Many people with visible facial aging signs wish for glowing, youthful skin without surgery. And, for some, it is possible.
Ultherapy® offers skin tightening for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity looking to achieve similar results to a facelift without going under the knife.
What Is Ultherapy®?
Ultherapy® is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that uses ultrasound waves combined with your body’s natural healing process to lift, tone, and tighten the face, neck, and décolleté. This procedure is sometimes considered a “non-surgical” facelift, appropriate for those with moderate signs of aging. The Ultherapy® device is FDA approved to correct loose skin on the brows, jawline, neck, and cheeks.
What Are the Benefits of Ultherapy® Skin Tightening?
Non-surgical Treatment
Many people are not interested in undergoing invasive surgery. This is because surgery often requires significant financial expense, anesthesia, and extensive recovery. However, just because surgery may not be for you doesn’t mean you have to live with dreaded aging signs. Ultherapy® provides a younger appearance without general anesthesia or incisions. This means a quicker recovery time without surgical scarring.
Tighter Skin
As we age, our skin loses its elasticity. This often results in the overall loss of facial volume, causing sagging in the cheeks, brows, neck, and more. The Ultherapy® machine stimulates the deep structural support layers of the skin to grow fresh, new collagen. With Ultherapy®, you can be on your way to younger, tighter skin.
A Younger Appearance
Sagging, wrinkled skin is one of the most common aging concerns. Unfortunately, even with proper skin care, it can be impossible to prevent or remove wrinkles. Skin tightening with Ultherapy® can treat aging signs on the entire face and neck, providing patients with a younger appearance they can feel confident with.
Ultherapy® Recovery and Results
Recovery
What Is the Recovery Like After Ultherapy® Skin Tightening Treatment?
Thankfully, there is virtually no recovery after an Ultherapy® skin tightening treatment, and you are free to return to your normal daily activities immediately. Please keep in mind that your skin will appear flushed, but this should subside within a few hours.
Will I Experience Pain After Ultherapy®?
Many patients experience slight swelling for a few days. Additionally, you may notice tingling or tenderness for a few weeks. This is normal and generally mild. Any discomfort can be relieved by taking over-the-counter pain medication as needed.
Results
When Will I See Results After Ultherapy® Skin Tightening?
After treatment, you may notice a boost in your skin’s tone and appearance. However, your results from the Ultherapy® skin tightening treatment will take some time to develop. More permanent results will unfold over two to three months, continuing to improve for up to six months.
How Long Do Ultherapy® Results Last?
The results from your Ultherapy® treatment can last a few years. However, as you continue to age, you may wish to undergo the treatment again.

Ultherapy® Treatment
Before the treatment, your surgeon will identify which areas are being corrected and cleanse the skin. An ultrasound gel and a smooth handpiece are then placed over the skin to emit the energy.
Ultrasound energy bypasses the surface of the skin to reach the underlying tissues, stimulating collagen growth.
