Ultherapy, also known as Ulthera or 超声刀, is a popular choice for people looking to improve the appearance of their skin – but what exactly is it? And what can you expect from the treatment?

Ultherapy is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses ultrasound technology to lift and tighten the skin. It is used to reduce the appearance of ageing wrinkles, sagging skin, and scars.
It is a safe and effective treatment, and the results can be seen almost immediately. Results continue to get better over a period of 3-6 months. The procedure takes around an hour, and there is no downtime required.
This is one of the most commonly asked questions nowadays. Let us break it down for you.
Both Ultherapy and HIFU (High intensity focused ultrasound) use ultrasound technology to induce collagen production which results in skin lifting and tightening. Thermage uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and skin tightening effect. They are all effective treatments in delaying skin ageing. However, there are some differences between the three.
Treatment | Ultherapy | HIFU (Ultraformer MPT) | RadioFrequency (such as Thermage) |
Origin | From the United States | Mostly from Korea | From the United States |
Technology | Microfocused ultrasound | High intensity focused ultrasound | Radio Frequency |
Depth of energy delivery | 4.5mm, 3.0mm, 1.5mm | 4.5mm, 3.0mm, 1.5mm | Approximately 3.0mm |
Precision | High precision because of real time visualisation imaging | No real time imaging | No real time imaging |
Good for | Skin tightening and lifting | Skin tightening and lifting | Skin tightening and fine lines reduction |
Pain level (0-10) | 5 to 7 | 3 to 5 Least painful among the 3 | 6 to 8 Most painful among the 3 |
Cost | $ | $ Usually the most economical one | $$ Usually the most costly one |
Interval of treatment | Usually once a year | Usually once every 4-6 months | Usually once a year |
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten loose skin. The ultrasound energy reaches specific layers of the skin at an optimal temperature of approximately 60°C, which stimulates collagen production. As a result, Ultherapy is able to achieve a lifting and tightening effect that is far superior to other non-invasive treatments.
Ultherapy is also unique in that it has real-time imaging, which allows clinicians to see precisely what layer of tissue they are treating. This ensures that the ultrasound energy is delivered evenly and effectively to the desired area.
Proper pre-treatment preparation is essential to ensure optimal results and reduce the risk of side effects.
Post-Ultherapy care is relatively simple, as the procedure has minimal downtime
You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness, which typically subsides within a few hours to days.
Most people can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment!
Ultherapy can be done once a year to maintain your youthful look and to delay facial skin ageing process.
Each session takes about 1 to 2 hours depending on individual’s facial structure and needs.
Ultherapy is generally safe, but like any cosmetic treatment, it comes with potential risks and side effects.
Common side effects include skin redness, swelling, soreness and bruising.
Rare but more serious side effects include nerve damage and skin burn.
Some patients may not achieve the desired level of skin tightening, particularly if they have more severe skin laxity. In such cases, multiple treatments or alternative procedures may be needed.
Overall, Ultherapy has a high success rate for non-surgical skin tightening, especially for patients with realistic expectations and mild to moderate skin laxity.
Some patients may require multiple sessions to achieve optimal results, particularly those with more significant skin laxity.
Results typically last for 12-18 months. Factors such as age, skin type and lifestyle may have significant impact on the longevity of the results.
