Ultherapy 超声提升
4.52 reviewsAbout this treatment
Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared non-surgical facelift offered at our Sunnyvale clinic, using micro-focused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) to lift jawline, neck, and decolletage for Bay Area patients. It targets the deep foundational layers that surgeons address in a surgical facelift — specifically the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) — without cutting or disrupting the skin surface.
IndicationsWho it's for
- Non-surgical facelift cleared by the FDA
- Micro-focused ultrasound targets the SMAS layer
- Jawline lift with no surgery or downtime
- Natural-looking, gradual collagen results
- Stimulates your body's own collagen production
- Single session with results lasting over a year
Procedure
Our clinician begins by cleansing your skin and applying ultrasound gel. Using the Ultherapy handpiece, real-time ultrasound imaging allows visualization of the tissue layers beneath your skin — ensuring energy is delivered precisely where it will be most effective. The device then sends focused ultrasound energy to the targeted depths, creating small thermal coagulation points that initiate collagen rebuilding. Multiple passes are made at different depths to address skin laxity comprehensively. The visualization technology makes Ultherapy uniquely precise among non-invasive lifting treatments.
Aftercare
During Ultherapy, you will feel brief pulses of ultrasound energy being delivered beneath the skin. The sensation varies — some patients describe it as tiny points of heat or tingling. Your comfort is our priority, and we offer options to manage any discomfort. A full face and neck treatment typically takes 60-90 minutes. There is no downtime; you can resume your normal routine immediately. Some patients notice an initial lift right away, with the full results developing gradually over 2-3 months.
FAQ
- How does it work?
- Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound energy at precise depths (1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm) to create thermal coagulation points (TCPs) at temperatures of 60-70°C. At the 4.5mm depth, the energy reaches the SMAS layer — the same deep structural layer surgeons tighten during a facelift. The thermal coagulation triggers a neocollagenesis response: the body produces fresh, organized collagen fibers to replace the damaged tissue, resulting in a gradual lifting and tightening effect that continues for months after treatment.
