Recovery Guide
What to expect during Ulthera Lifting recovery
Ulthera Lifting is a non-surgical skin-tightening and lifting procedure that uses focused ultrasound energy to target the deep SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer—the same structural layer treated in surgical facelifts. The device delivers controlled heat energy at precise depths to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity without damaging the surface. This results in natural lifting and tightening of the face and neck with minimal downtime and no incisions.
