What is Ultherapy / Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)?
Also known as: Ultherapy Prime, HIFU, High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy to reach the deep support layers of the skin and stimulate collagen, lifting and tightening the face and neck without surgery or downtime.
Ultherapy is a noninvasive lifting treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy, often referred to as HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound). The energy bypasses the surface and delivers precise heat to the deeper foundational layers of the skin, the same layers addressed in a surgical facelift, prompting the body to produce fresh collagen over time.
It is commonly used to lift and tighten the brow, under the chin, jawline, and neck. Because nothing is cut or injected, there is essentially no downtime. Results build gradually over two to three months as new collagen forms. At UDERMA, this is offered as Ultherapy Prime.
