Ultherapy Skin Tightening

Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production deep beneath the skin’s surface. It targets the same foundational layers typically addressed in surgical facelifts—without any incisions or downtime.

At South William Clinic, Ultherapy can help:

1. Lift and tighten the neck, chin, and jawline

2. Elevate the brows for a refreshed, youthful appearance

3. Smooth fine lines and wrinkles on the décolletage and around the eyes.

4. Improve skin firmness and texture through natural collagen regeneration

Using real-time ultrasound imaging, we can precisely deliver energy to where it’s needed most.

Most patients see visible results with just one session. However, depending on your skin’s response and goals, a touch-up at 6 months may be beneficial. 

To maintain your lift, we often recommend a maintenance session every 12 to 24 months, depending on your skin’s natural ageing process.

Some patients experience mild discomfort during treatment, but it’s generally very manageable.

Most describe the sensation as:
- A light tingling or heating
- A brief rubber band snap
- A momentary warmth in the deeper layers of the skin

Pain tolerance varies, so we can tailor the treatment by adjusting energy levels or offering comfort measures if needed.

To prepare and recover smoothly, avoid the following:

Before treatment:
- Sun exposure
- Alcohol and caffeine
- Skincare products with retinoids or exfoliants

After treatment (for 24–48 hours):
- Intense exercise
- Hot showers or saunas
- Harsh or active skincare products
- Direct sun exposure

Results appear gradually as new collagen forms, with visible improvements peaking around 2–3 months post-treatment. Many patients enjoy results that last up to a year or more, especially when combined with occasional top-ups.

For enhanced results, Ultherapy is often paired with treatments like BOTOX® and dermal fillers.

To maximise your Ultherapy results, it's important to stay well-hydrated before and after your session, as proper hydration supports healthy skin function. Incorporating collagen-boosting skincare products—such as those containing retinol or peptides—can further enhance your skin’s firmness and elasticity. Daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF is essential to protect your skin from UV damage and preserve your results. Finally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise helps support overall skin health. Together, these habits can help you enjoy firmer, more radiant, and longer-lasting results from your Ultherapy treatment.
