Ultherapy
Allure Plastic Surgery
Ultherapy® is an FDA-approved non-surgical treatment that lifts the skin and smooths wrinkles on the brow, face, neck, and decolletage. Until recently, tightening and smoothing the skin of the face and neck required surgery, such as a facelift or laser resurfacing.
Surgery means downtime, anesthesia, and possible complications. Ultherapy is a non-invasive ultrasound treatment, so many of our patients can skip the surgical route.
How It Works
How Ultherapy Works
Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin by stimulating collagen production deep within the tissue, without any incision. The tightening effect is clinically significant and keeps improving over two to three months. The energy bypasses the outer layer of skin and works on any skin type, with no added risk to darker skin.
The procedure is straightforward. It takes 30 to 90 minutes depending on the treatment area. You'll feel the ultrasound energy as a warm sensation. Ultrasound visualization pinpoints exactly where to place the energy, which minimizes discomfort.
Ultherapy Treatment Areas
Ultherapy can be used to treat areas in the face and neck, including:
Neck
Tightens and lifts the neck. This patient has a noticeably smoother neck after Ultherapy, with no recovery or downtime.
Eyelid and Brow
Improves the skin around the eyes and lifts the brow. This patient gained a clear brow lift from Ultherapy, with no surgery.
Is It Right For You
Who Is a Candidate for Ultherapy
You may be a good candidate for Ultherapy if you have mild to moderate skin laxity in the neck, jawline, eyebrow, or chest. Ultherapy cannot reproduce the effects of a facelift. For a patient who is not ready for surgery, it is a strong option for younger-looking results.

Ultherapy at Allure tightened my jaw and neck with zero downtime. I was skeptical but a few months in the lift is really showing. Great experience.Karen W., Google Review
Recovery
Ultherapy Recovery
A main advantage of Ultherapy over surgical facial rejuvenation is little to no recovery time. You'll likely have some initial redness and mild swelling. In rare cases there is temporary bruising or numbness, but these resolve within a few days.
Over the next two to three months, the smoothing and tightening effects of Ultherapy continue to develop.

FAQ
Common Questions About Ultherapy
How much does Ultherapy cost in NYC?
It depends which areas are treated, since the brow, the full face, the neck and the decolletage are priced differently and many patients combine them. You get an exact figure at your consultation, and financing through Affirm, Cherry and CareCredit is available.
What is Ultherapy?
An FDA-approved non-surgical treatment that lifts the skin and smooths wrinkles on the brow, face, neck and decolletage. It uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the tissue, with no incision.
How long does the treatment take?
Thirty to ninety minutes depending on the treatment area. You feel the ultrasound energy as a warm sensation. Ultrasound visualization pinpoints exactly where to place the energy, which keeps discomfort down.
When will I see results?
The tightening effect is clinically significant and keeps improving over two to three months, because what you are seeing is your own collagen rebuilding rather than an immediate mechanical change.
How is this different from a facelift?
Until recently, tightening and smoothing the skin of the face and neck required surgery such as a facelift or a lower facelift, which means downtime, anesthesia and possible complications. Ultherapy is non-invasive, so many patients can skip the surgical route. A facelift still produces a larger change, so the honest answer about which you need comes from an examination.
Where on the face and neck can it be used?
Ultherapy treats areas across the face and neck as well as the brow and decolletage. Which areas suit you is mapped at the consultation.
