Face and Neck Tightening (Ultherapy)

Whilst lasers usually work on the more superficial layers of skin for issues such as lines and wrinkles or pigmentation, Ulthera works on the skin’s deeper layers to lift and remodel the skin. As the two work on different layers of the skin, it is possible to to combine the two for the best skin tightening laser treatment.

This treatment is often called a ‘non-surgical facelift’ but our consultants refer to Ulthera treatment as more of an uplift than a facelift. However, it is a great alternative for those not quite ready for the surgical option, or perhaps those who have had surgery and wish to maintain the effects.

There is no down time required following your Ulthera treatment and you can go straight back to your daily activities, though you may choose to return home if you have taken a sedative for the treatment. There are very few Ulthera side effects but mild to moderate redness and sometimes swelling is completely normal and soon subsides.

More than one session may be needed depending on your individual case, but you can be rest assured that the fat cells are permanently destroyed in each treatment. Your practitioner will be able to advise how many sessions are needed and the duration between treatments following an initial consultation.

Prices for Ultherapy will vary due to the area being treated and will be confirmed to following an initial consultation. Ultherapy for one area starts at £750.

Collagen is a natural protein found in the body that gives skin its youthful appearance and plumps it up, keeping it firmed and toned. With ageing, collagen production begins to slow down and it loses its elasticity meaning skin starts to sag downwards. Ulthera at Cadogan Clinic kickstarts a repair by stimulating the body’s natural response to the heating of the tissues by the focused ultrasound energy, promoting collagen-building. The ideal facial skin tightening treatment.

Ulthera is not a surgical procedure despite often being compared to a facelift and does not require general anaesthetic nor any incisions to the skin.

If your skin is showing the effects of time and gravity, and appears less firm- you are a good candidate for Ulthera. It may be that you have sagging skin on the neck or jowl area.

This treatment also gets great skin tightening reviews for those who want to stay ahead in maintaining their youthful looks, or those who have had cosmetic surgery and want to prolong the effects.

After around 3-8 weeks you will start to see an improvement in your skin tone and after a further few months any sagging will be lessened and skin elasticity increased. Optimum results for Ulthera can be seen at between 6-8 months following your treatment.
