If you want to lift and firm your skin without surgery, Ultherapy® at American Medical Center may be the ideal solution for you. This non-invasive treatment uses ultrasound energy to stimulate natural collagen production, helping to reduce fine lines and improve sagging skin—especially on the face, neck, and décolletage.
What Is Ultherapy®?
Ultherapy® is an FDA-approved, non-surgical skin tightening treatment that uses ultrasound waves to reach deep beneath the skin’s surface and rejuvenate collagen. It’s a popular option for those looking to refresh their appearance without incisions, needles, or downtime.
Am I a Candidate for Ultherapy®?
You may be a good candidate for Ultherapy® if you:
-
Are concerned about mild to moderate facial aging
-
Have loose or sagging skin on the face, neck, or under the chin
-

Are in good general health and have realistic expectations
Ultherapy® is ideal for patients who want a natural-looking lift and improved skin texture without downtime.
How Does the Procedure Work?
-
Your provider cleans your skin and applies a cool ultrasound gel.

A handheld device is used to deliver focused ultrasound energy to the deeper layers of your skin.
-
This energy heats tissue at precise depths, stimulating collagen production.
-
Treatment time is typically between 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the area treated.
Patients may feel a slight tingling or warmth during the session, but anesthesia is not required.
What to Expect After Ultherapy®
There is no recovery period—you can return to your normal activities immediately.
You may experience minor side effects such as:
-
Redness
-
Swelling
-
Mild tenderness or tingling These usually subside within a few hours to a few days.
Results and Maintenance
Most patients see visible improvement in 3 to 6 months, as new collagen develops.
Results can last up to a year or more with proper skincare.
Many patients choose to do yearly maintenance treatments to sustain their youthful look.
Ultherapy® is a great way to slow the signs of aging and maintain a firm, radiant appearance over time.
