Ultherapy Skin Lifting & Tightening in San Antonio, TX

Yes. Ultherapy is FDA-cleared to lift the eyebrow, lift lax tissue under the chin and on the neck, and improve lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. It is also the only FDA-cleared non-invasive lifting treatment that uses real-time ultrasound imaging to guide treatment.

You will feel brief sensations of heat and tingling as energy is delivered, which means collagen-building is underway. Comfort varies by area and person, so we offer topical numbing, a pain reliever taken beforehand, or Pro-Nox to keep you comfortable.

Some patients notice an initial effect right after treatment, but the visible lift develops gradually over two to three months as new collagen forms, and can continue improving for up to six months.

Results on the face can last a year or more. Because your skin continues to age naturally, many patients schedule a maintenance treatment about once a year to keep their lift.

No. There is no downtime, and most patients return to work and normal activities immediately. Mild redness, swelling, tingling, or tenderness may occur and typically resolves within hours to a few days.

Unless your physician advises otherwise, avoid aspirin, anti-inflammatories, fish oil, and other supplements that thin the blood for about a week before treatment to reduce the chance of bruising. Arrive with clean skin free of makeup, and let your provider know about any medications, fillers, or implants in the treatment area. Your provider may suggest taking a pain reliever shortly before your appointment.

The most common side effects are temporary redness, swelling, tingling, and tenderness. Less commonly, patients may notice mild bruising, often along the jawline, or temporary numbness, which typically resolves within a few weeks. Serious complications are rare when treatment is performed by trained providers using real-time imaging.

HIFU is a general term for high-intensity focused ultrasound. Ultherapy is the original FDA-cleared micro-focused ultrasound lifting treatment, and its DeepSEE imaging lets providers see beneath the skin during treatment to confirm depth, which many generic HIFU devices cannot do.

Ultherapy is often called a non-surgical facelift because it targets the same deep SMAS layer addressed in surgery. It provides a more subtle, gradual lift than a facelift, with no incisions or recovery, making it ideal for mild to moderate laxity.

Yes. Ultherapy lifts from the deep foundation, so it pairs well with treatments that address the surface or volume, such as CoolPeel CO2, Morpheus8, Sculptra, Botox, and dermal fillers. Your provider will recommend the right sequence and timing.

Ultherapy cost depends on the treatment areas and the number of lines your skin needs. Personalized pricing is provided during a consultation at our Dominion Creek or Alamo Quarry location.
