Are you looking to lift loose, sagging skin and restore a more youthful look to your face or chest?
Ultherapy and HIFU may be the solution you need. These noninvasive skin tightening procedures for the face, neck, and décolletage use clinically proven ultrasound technology to gradually strengthen your skin from the inside out. In less than an hour—and without any downtime—you can be well on your way to tighter, more youthful skin.
Our High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) targets deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening tissues for a naturally lifted and youthful appearance. Whether you’re preparing for an event or simply want to feel firmer and more refreshed, HIFU is the ultimate skin-tightening favorite.
As we mature, our skin gradually loses its youthful elasticity and succumbs to the constant tug of gravity. Collagen production slows, facial tissue relaxes and loses tone, and fine lines and wrinkles become progressively more ingrained. While a surgical facelift can offer dramatic results, not everyone is ready or willing to undergo an invasive procedure.
Ultherapy and High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) both treat the skin’s foundational layers typically addressed in cosmetic surgery—without incisions, scars, anesthesia, or injections. These advanced ultrasound treatments stimulate collagen production and help tighten tissues at multiple skin depths, delivering gradual, natural-looking results. At Dignity Medical Aesthetics, we’re proud to offer these proven noninvasive facelift alternatives to patients seeking visible skin rejuvenation or wishing to extend the results of previous procedures.
The first step toward firmer, tighter skin is scheduling a one-on-one consultation with a qualified specialist at Dignity Medical Aesthetics. During your in-person consultation, your practitioner will assess your skin, discuss your goals and concerns, and determine whether Ultherapy, HIFU, or a combination of both is the right approach for your needs.
Your comfort and safety are our top priorities. After cleansing the skin in the treatment areas, your practitioner will apply ultrasound gel and place the applicator against your skin. Ultrasound imaging is used to visualize the layers beneath the surface, ensuring the energy is precisely targeted. Both Ultherapy and HIFU deliver focused ultrasound waves to specific depths where collagen production is most effectively triggered.
You may feel a brief heating or tightening sensation as the ultrasound energy is delivered. While the experience varies by individual, the sensation is generally well tolerated and subsides as soon as the treatment ends.
There is no required downtime following these treatments, so you can return to normal activities immediately. While some initial tightening may be visible right away, results improve gradually over two to three months as new collagen is produced. Many patients notice continued improvement for up to six months following the procedure.
Expect smoother, firmer skin, lifted contours, and a refreshed, youthful appearance—all without surgery or interruption to your daily routine.
Ultherapy and HIFU are noninvasive ultrasound-based treatments cleared by the FDA for lifting and tightening skin on the brow, chin, neck, and chest. They work by delivering precise ultrasound energy deep beneath the surface to stimulate natural collagen production.
Ultherapy uses ultrasound imaging to visualize the treatment area, ensuring energy is delivered where it will be most effective. HIFU delivers microfocused ultrasound energy in short bursts at varying depths, making it ideal for broader tissue tightening and lifting.
Both treatments bypass the surface of the skin to target structural layers—offering firming and lifting results without downtime.
Unlike lasers and radiofrequency treatments that focus on surface-level concerns, Ultherapy and HIFU penetrate deeper layers of skin, reaching foundational tissue where collagen remodeling occurs. They are the only noninvasive procedures that use focused ultrasound with real-time imaging (Ultherapy) and high-intensity precision pulses (HIFU) to customize treatment.
The result is natural, progressive lifting with minimal risk, no downtime, and long-lasting collagen production.
Most patients find the treatments tolerable, describing a brief warm or tingling sensation during energy delivery. Discomfort, if any, is temporary and varies based on the treatment area and personal sensitivity. Our team prioritizes your comfort and can adjust settings as needed.
Results from Ultherapy and HIFU typically last up to a year or longer, depending on your body’s collagen response and natural aging process. Regular maintenance sessions can help extend and refresh your results over time.
You may experience some redness, tenderness, or mild swelling after treatment. These effects are temporary and generally subside within a few hours to a few days. Less common side effects may include temporary numbness or tingling.
The cost ranges between $1,000 and $5,000, depending on the treatment area and how much correction is needed. During your consultation, we’ll provide a clear and personalized estimate.
Yes. Ultrasound technology has been used safely in medicine for over five decades. Both Ultherapy and HIFU have been thoroughly tested in clinical studies and are FDA-cleared for skin lifting. Our team is extensively trained to ensure safe, effective results for all skin types.
Most patients achieve noticeable results after just one session. However, depending on your degree of skin laxity and desired results, multiple treatments may be recommended. Follow-up sessions can help maintain and enhance the outcome over time.
These treatments are best suited for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity, such as sagging under the chin, on the brow, or along the neck. Patients in their 30s or older who want a lift without surgery, or younger individuals focused on prevention, are ideal candidates.
They’re also a great choice for patients who have already had cosmetic surgery and want to prolong their results.
Ultherapy and HIFU are approved for use on the brow, chin, neck, and décolletage, with HIFU also commonly used off-label for other body areas in some cases. Both are excellent for lifting and smoothing the lower face, jawline, and neck.
Collagen is a structural protein that keeps skin firm and smooth. As we age, collagen breaks down and production slows, leading to sagging and wrinkles. Ultherapy and HIFU stimulate new collagen growth by delivering ultrasound energy into the deep dermal layers, creating a thermal effect that jumpstarts the skin’s natural regeneration process.
Over time, this leads to visible tightening, lifting, and a more youthful skin texture.
Absolutely. Both men and women benefit from Ultherapy and HIFU. These treatments are increasingly popular among men seeking a refreshed look without surgery or downtime.
At Dignity Medical Aesthetics, we specialize in noninvasive treatments that help you look and feel your best with minimal interruption to your lifestyle.
