About Using Ultherapy Non-Surgical Facelift to Transform Your Looks
The Ultherapy non-surgical facelift procedure is a safe, non-surgical treatment that uses ultrasound technology to counteract the effects of time and gravity on your skin. It uses the body's regenerative response – the generation of collagen – to gently and gradually lift skin. The therapy is commonly used on the eyebrow, under the chin, and on the neck, and smooth lines and wrinkles on the décolletage.
Ultherapy non-surgical facelift is the only non-invasive treatment approved by the FDA to lift sagging skin. It is also the only cosmetic procedure to use ultrasound imaging, which allows practitioners to see the layers of tissue best targeted during the treatment to give lasting results. On top of that, Ultherapy is the only non-invasive procedure specifically indicated by the FDA to improve lines and wrinkles on the chest.
*Individual results may vary.
Conditions Ultherapy Is Used For?
As we grow older, our bodies stop producing collagen. We then start losing the collagen in our bodies when in our 30s. This leads to sagging, wrinkled skin. Ultherapy is ideal for anyone over 30 who sees the onset of:
- Saggy skin
- Wrinkles
- Fine lines
Areas Ultherapy Is Used For?
Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that lifts the:
- Neck
- Chin
- Brow
- Upper chest
Collagen Creation Stimulated By Ultrasound
Just because you are aging doesn't mean your face has to tell everyone how quickly it's happening. Your face is your most important calling card, and investing in maintenance is your top priority. So how can you combat sagging skin, wrinkles, and lines? You've tried all the crèmes and serums, but they're not working. You've heard about facelifts and even seen the results, but surgery seems too intense for you. You want a procedure that doesn't require injections or scalpels, and who can blame you?
We can't—that's why The Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center offers the Ultherapy Non-Surgical Facelift procedure.
Our Ultherapy Non-Surgical Facelift procedure is your solution to the effects aging can have on your brow, neck, and under chin area without needing needles, scalpels, and creams. If you are using all the anti-aging creams on the market or considering a facelift, stop and consider an Ultherapy Non-Surgical Facelift instead.
Ultherapy Non-Surgical Facelift utilizes ultrasound technology to compel your body to repair and lift the skin on your brow, neck, and under chin area all on its own. This way, you can enjoy the effects of a facelift without scars behind your ears like standard facelifts and foreign chemicals in your system from extensive medications.
Much like the ultrasound performed on pregnant women, the Ultherapy Non-Surgical treatment begins by presenting an image of the tissue underneath your skin. This image allows your practitioner to evaluate where treatment is needed on your face. The procedure then uses focused ultrasound energy, depositing that energy into the areas of your deep tissue that your practitioner has determined appropriate.
Your body responds to this energy by stimulating the creation of collagen, reconditioning "tired" skin, and promoting more vital, more elastic skin.
The procedure takes less time than a standard surgical facelift, and there is no recovery time necessary afterward. After your treatments, you can carry on with the rest of your life knowing that your body is responding to your treatment by creating a younger-looking you.
Are you ready to ditch the creams and say goodbye to thoughts of surgical facelifts? Ultherapy Non-Surgical Facelift procedure is for you.

What is better Botox or Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is an excellent alternative to Botox, as it does not require needles or surgery. The results of Ultherapy last much longer than those from injections, for about two years on average, while the effects only last up six months with BOTOX. This means that if you're looking for a smoother skin tone, don't hesitate! Go ahead and give yourself this procedure today so your beauty can stay shining bright forever.
Can ultherapy make you look worse?
Ultherapy is an excellent option for mild to moderate acne, but it might not be the best treatment if you have severe issues with blackheads or scarring.

What should I tell my doctor before getting Ultherapy?
Before getting Ultherapy, it's essential to consult with your doctor to make sure the treatment is proper for you. Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production, so it's important to let your doctor know if you have any history of skin conditions or scarring. You should also tell your doctor if you're pregnant, as Ultherapy is not recommended for pregnant women or breastfeeding. Once your doctor has determined that Ultherapy is suitable for you, they will help you choose the best treatment plan for your goals. Ultherapy can help to lift and tighten the skin on the face, neck, and chest, resulting in a more youthful appearance. The procedure is safe and effective, and there is no downtime required. If you're interested in improving your appearance without surgery or injections, Ultherapy may be the perfect solution for you.
What should I do before my Ultherapy treatment?
Stop any medications that thin your blood, as bruising is possible. If you are unsure whether your medications are blood thinners, please review this with our providers before your treatment. Over-the-counter medications like aspirin, daily large-dose anti-inflammatories, and fish oil supplements may also exacerbate bruising and should be discontinued.
We highly recommend starting arnica Montana, an oral homeopathic supplement that has been shown to reduce bruising and swelling. You should begin 3-5 days before the procedure and continue for up to a week if you experience bruising. Arnica montana is available at most health food stores. The recommended dose is three sublingual pearls three times daily.
On the day of your Ultherapy treatment
- Wear comfortable, loose clothing to your appointment.
- Before your treatment, photography will be taken for comparison on your follow-up.
- Thirty minutes before your treatment, we recommend taking 800 mg of ibuprofen for pain relief during the session. A single dose like this will not exacerbate your bruising.
What should I do after my Ultherapy treatment?
- You can expect none or some of the following symptoms immediately after the procedure. These symptoms may persist for up to four weeks. Most patients have very mild symptoms, but, as with any medical procedure, each patient experiences it uniquely.
- Symptoms always subside over time. There have been no reports of long-lasting complications. The treated area may be slightly pink for up to a few hours.
- Bruising, swelling, and tenderness can occur in the treated area. Bruising may not be evident for several days following the treatment and often is greenish by the time it becomes visible. The most common sizes for bruising are along the jawline and cheekbone.
- Even without bruising, tenderness to the touch is expected. This is usually most evident along the jawline and cheekbone and most often noted when touching your face, washing, or applying makeup. This will not interfere with eating, talking, or moving your facial muscles.
- Irritation of peripheral sensory or motor nerves is uncommon but can happen. This can result in temporary patches of decreased sensation or some weakness of facial muscles (usually the force which pulls the corner of the mouth downward). When this occurs, it is always temporary and usually resolves within three weeks.
- Except for possible bruising, there is no downtime after your Ultherapy. You can return to your regular daily routine and exercise program immediately after the procedure.
