When your skin begins to sag or lose structure—but you are not ready for surgery—Ultherapy offers a clinically tested way to lift and tighten without downtime.
At the office of Beverly Friedlander MD in Short Hills, New Jersey, Ultherapy is used to firm the face, neck, and chest. Dr. Bev is a board-plastic certified surgeon, and she leads her aesthetic team in performing light-and-energy-based treatments. Ultherapy is ideal for gradual improvement in skin tone and laxity, because it reaches the deeper layers of tissue where collagen loss begins.
What Ultherapy Can Treat
Ultherapy is FDA-cleared for:
- Lifting the brow
- Smoothing and firming the neck and under the chin
- Tightening the décolletage (chest)
These areas are often affected first by collagen loss and gravity. Ultherapy reaches them at a depth similar to a surgical facelift—but without incisions or recovery time.
How Ultherapy Works
Ultrasound energy is delivered below the surface of the skin at controlled depths, creating heat in the foundational tissue layers. This triggers a natural healing response, prompting your body to produce fresh collagen and elastin over time.
Because the treatment bypasses the skin’s outermost layer, there is no peeling, redness, or flaking afterward. Most patients can resume their normal routine right away.
What to Expect
A treatment session typically lasts between 45 and 90 minutes, depending on the area. Some patients experience mild tingling or warmth as the ultrasound energy is delivered. Numbing cream is available to increase comfort during longer sessions.
You won’t see results immediately, as collagen production takes time. Most patients begin to notice improvement within two to three months, with continued firming and lifting over the following three to six months.
Ultherapy is best for individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity—especially those not ready for or not interested in surgery. It is often used:
- As a preventive option in your 30s or 40s
- To delay the need for a facelift or neck lift
- To refine areas after a previous cosmetic procedure
It can also be combined with other treatments such as Botox or Forma RF for a more comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation.
