What is Ultherapy Light
As the name suggests, Ultherapy® Light is a milder version of the original Ultherapy treatment.
It delivers ultrasound energy to shallower depths in the skin, providing more subtle lifting and tightening effects.
How many treatments are needed?
Most patients only need 1 treatment for results that can last for over a year. Because skin continues to age, follow-up treatments are recommended annually to help patients keep pace with the body’s natural ageing process.
We can target the cheek, chin and brows to stimulate collagen production, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

Ultherapy Before & After Photos
Which areas can we treat?
Brows
The perfect partner to anti-ageing injectables in the upper face, Ultherapy to the brow helps to lift and smooth the forehead while tightening and elevating the upper eyelids. Energy focused in this area stimulates the muscle, which stimulates the collagen, causing lift and elevation.
The result is eyes that look open and refreshed and never overdone.
Cheek & Jawline
Ultherapy® utilises advanced micro-focused ultrasound with visualisation (MFU-V) energy, allowing us to create a bespoke treatment based on the depth of your individual muscle.
Over time, this process stimulates collagen production, leading to a significant lift in the treated areas and redefining the contours of your face and neck. According to Merz Aesthetics, the founder of the technology, 95% of Ultherapy patients have reported tighter and firmer skin one year after Ultherapy treatment.
Combination Treatments
Ultherapy can also be combined with other procedures for even better results.
Ultherapy to the brow + Upper face botox – Lifting and tightening of the upper face to enhance injectable results.
Ultherapy + Coolsculpting – Freeze and dissolve fat cells under the chin, followed by Ultherapy to lift and tighten the area.
Ultherapy + Dermal Fillers – Ultherapy to the lower face combined with volume-enhancing dermal fillers to the cheeks creates transformative anti-ageing results

Ultherapy Light FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
CLOSED STATE
What is the procedure like?
The procedure takes around 45 minutes to one hour, with no downtime.
It involves applying ultrasound gel and then going over the treatment area in three passes at different depths: two millimetres and millimetres. The deeper you go, the deeper you are into the muscle and the more contraction you get.
How Quickly Will I See Results?
Some patients can see results quickly, even immediately, particularly if you’re someone with sagging skin or jowls. The full benefits typically become more apparent over the course of several weeks to months as the collagen-building process continues.
How Long Do Ultherapy Results Last?
You only need one session for results, and it lasts for a year. Patients often require a yearly top-up to maintain the results.
what is the downtime?
One of the key advantages of Ultherapy is its minimal downtime. You may experience temporary redness, swelling, and minor discomfort in the treated area.
These side effects usually subside within a few hours to a few days. Some individuals may also experience mild bruising, tingling, or numbness, but these effects are typically short-lived.
