Ultrasonic skin tightening, introduced first to the market with a device called Ultherapy®, is a non-invasive, non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses micro-focused ultrasound waves to stimulate collagen production, resulting in an “uplifted” effect to the face and neck. This procedure can lift the brows, lift sagging skin, tighten loose skin around the jowls and improve the appearance of a double chin. It can also be used around the mouth and on the cheeks. A good candidate for face and neck ‘up-lifting’ with ultrasonic skin tightening is someone with skin that has started to look and feel less firm. Typically, those in their 30s and older who have mild to moderate skin laxity are candidates for treatment. The results typically last for a year, although some people might see results lasting between three to five years. At least one top-up treatment per year in recommended to maintain the result. The average cost of an ultrasonic skin tightening treatment is from between £1,000 and £4,500 depending on area(s).
