As we age, our collagen breaks down and reduces the elasticity of our skin. Collagen production helps maintain the youthfulness of your skin by keeping the face toned and firm. Ultherapy® uses ultrasound therapy to go deeper than other non-invasive treatments for collagen and elastin stimulation. Ultherapy® uses micro-focused ultrasound to generate a thermal effect under the skin. This effect essentially jump-starts your body’s own process to create fresh, new collagen.

It uses traditional ultrasound imaging so you can see the layers of tissue we are treating. This ensures that the treatment energy is delivered to the area where it benefits you most.

After Ultherapy®, lifting and tightening of the skin occurs gradually over 3-6 months and the improvements appear to last up to one year or more*

*Results may vary, as aging is a progressive, ongoing process.

The skin in the treated area will look firmer and smoother with fewer wrinkles.

Your facial features will also look more defined with a lifting effect around the eyebrows, under eye, jaw, and neck.

Since the procedure helps the skin stimulate its own collagen production, how long the results last really depends on the individual’s aging process. We do recommend regular touchup treatments to maintain results.

Based on the feedback from our clients who have experienced this treatment, the effect has lasted for a year and sometimes more*

*Results may vary, as aging is a progressive, ongoing process.

Both treatments offer a relatively painless and completely non-invasive way to rejuvenate and tighten the skin without surgery. This is why they have risen in popularity as non-surgical alternatives to the standard anti-aging facelift.

Ultherapy® and Hifu machines differ in several key ways, from the types of technology they use to their skin tightening and lifting results. Ultherapy® is similar to Hifu, but with the added benefit of real-time imaging. Additionally, while both treatments use ultrasound to activate natural skin rejuvenation, they use different types of ultrasound beams:

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU): used mainly for medical purposes
Micro-focused ultrasound (MFU): utilizes highly focused energy to target a specific skin layer

Both methods apply specialized heat energy to stimulate the production of collagen. The optimal temperature for stimulating collagen production ranges between 60°C and 70°C. Skin tissues are disrupted at these temperatures, and the body kickstarts a repair process by producing new collagen and elastin proteins. Ultherapy® uses micro-focused ultrasound (MFU) beams to do this, whereas Hifu uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound. The key difference between these two techniques is how the beams are delivered to the deeper layers of the skin. The MFU method is sharply focused, whereas Hifu applies multiple beams that can hit bone and fat tissues as well.

What makes Ultherapy® really stand out from Hifu and other treatments is that it gives practitioners the advanced ability to see the deeper layers of the skin being treated. This is a game-changer as it shows us exactly where to target to ensure optimal collagen stimulation - and the best results! We understand when it comes to stimulating the collagen that seeing every detail matters. This is why DeepSEE visualization is so essential for skin tightening enhancements, and why Ultherapy® excels as the gold-standard treatment in the skin tightening arena.

Ultherapy® has been around much longer than Hifu treatment machines. This makes it one of the most researched skin enhancement and anti-aging technologies of its kind. Its results have been independently verified and supported by over 110 studies and research papers (60 peer-renewed papers and 50 clinical studies). This greatly exceeds Hifu products, which have only been studied a small number of times for their efficacy and patient satisfaction.

Is Ultherapy® safe?

Ultherapy® is a proven treatment with a well-established safety profile. It is currently being used worldwide in more than 75 countries, with over 1.5 million treatments performed globally to date. In addition, ultrasound energy has a proven track record, with use in the field of medicine for more than 50 years.

How does Ultherapy® stimulate the production of collagen?

Collagen is a natural protein that gives your skin its youthfulness by keeping it firm and toned. As we age, collagen breaks down, and the result is a loss of skin strength and elasticity. Ultherapy® uses micro-focused ultrasound to generate a thermal effect under the skin. The thermal effect essentially jump-starts your body’s own process that produces fresh, new collagen.

Can Ultherapy® replace a facelift?

Ultherapy® treats the deep foundational layer addressed in cosmetic surgery, but won’t duplicate the results of a surgical facelift. Ultherapy® is a great alternative, however, especially for those who are not ready for surgery.

How long does the effects of the treatment last?

The treatment produces new collagen on the inside, but the individual’s natural aging process will dictate how long that translates into visible results on the outside. Future touch-up treatments can help provide more control over the aging process, which varies by individual. The results appear over two to three months and they can last up to a year or more*

What does the treatment feel like?

As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you may feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths, stimulating the collagen-building process. Comfort levels vary from person to person, but the sensation only lasts while the ultrasound energy is being delivered.

Will I need to take time off?

With Ultherapy®, there is no downtime. After your procedure, you can resume your normal activities immediately, without having to follow any post-treatment measures.

How much does the treatment cost?

Pricing for an Ultherapy® treatment can vary, depending upon the areas being treated. The cost per session is usually AED 8,000 but we are currently running a limited-period offer of AED 4,750 per session for your first treatment.

Who is this treatment for?

Typically if you are in your 30s and older and have moderate skin laxity Ultherapy® is a great non-ivasive treatment for that instant lift. The actual results will be gradual as collagen multiplies, enhancing the skin structure. Optimal results are evident around the third month. Although is not a replacement for surgical facelift if you are looking for a facelift but not ready for surgery Ultherapy® is a good option to opt for.

Ultherapy® has been recommended by most doctors and cosmetic specialists as the Gold-standard skin tightening treatment, and why celebrities including Tess Daly and Jennifer Aniston have verified its transformative results with their personal testimonials.
