Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment for lifting and tightening the skin on the face, neck, chin and brow and, more recently, for the improvement of lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. It uses a tried-and-tested ultrasound technology to gradually strengthen your skin from deep within.

Tess Daly has revealed she chose Ultherapy to help achieve her fresh and natural look.
“I believe in investing in my skin as I do in my general health, looking after what you have got. Ultherapy® works with your own skin to leave you looking refreshed and like you have had a good 8 hours sleep. Ultherapy® only took an hour with no downtime, and over time my skin felt more radiant, boosted and fresh.” – Tess Daly

Ultherapy can be used to treat sagging skin, skin laxity issues, the dreaded ‘turkey neck’, drooping eyelids, banana roll fat, sagging buttocks and lines and wrinkles on your décolletage, giving you a natural lift and leaving you looking refreshed.

As a market-leading collagen booster, Ultherapy has become known as the ultimate gold-standard treatment for skin lifting and tightening. Collagen is a natural protein that keeps skin firm, toned and youthful-looking. As you get older, collagen loses strength and its ability to stand up to the effect of gravity that pulls our skin downwards. Elastin, another key structural protein in the skin, also depletes as we age. But thanks to Ultherapy’s precise micro-focused ultrasound technology, the body’s skin repair process is rebooted to stimulate the natural renewal of these beautifying proteins. The result is lifted, flawless and tightened skin that radiates rejuvenation and vitality.
With our expert team of practitioners, you can trust your Ultherapy treatment will be the highest standard in the industry as we have been named the No1 Ultherapy Clinic for the 10th year in a row.
Some patients see an initial lift after treatment, but real results become more apparent over a three-to-six-month time frame as new collagen builds. This gradually lifts the skin, generating non-surgical skin tightening that can last over a year or more. Unlike a surgical face-lift, the Ultherapy facelift has no downtime meaning you can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.
Katy Young, Beauty Editor at Harpers Bazaar says “The ultrasound works on the foundation of the skin, boosting natural collagen to result in firmer, fresher-looking skin. Celebrities have been known to use it as a new facelift alternative.” Read more about the benefits of Ultherapy in Dr Jarvie Thomas’s interview in Harper’s Bazaar.
Ultherapy is a non-surgical skin lifting and tightening procedure for the upper and lower face, neck and décolletage.
One of The Cosmetic Skin Clinic’s most popular treatments, it has won America’s NewBeauty Annual Beauty Awards for the 10th year in a row, being awarded the “Best Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Treatment”.
The Cosmetic Skin Clinic is globally renowned for its incredible Ultherapy standards, having consistently received the annual accolade of being an ‘Ultherapy Centre of Excellence’ in the UK. This award recognises our expert Ultherapy® team as leaders in maintaining impeccable standards, while delivering outstanding results and the dissemination of detailed Ultherapy knowledge.
Ultherapy uses micro-focused ultrasound with visualisation (MFU-V) energy to target the same depth of skin targeted by cosmetic surgeons. The treatment generates a rejuvenating thermal effect deep underneath the skin. This stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin stores to reverse the signs of ageing. The treatment essentially jumpstarts a skin repair process by strengthening existing collagen and producing fresh, new collagen stores. This advanced process is designed to restore structure and strength back into your skin while giving it a flawlessly tight texture and an incredible lift.
Ultherapy is unique as it is the only non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses focused ultrasound imaging to stimulate the growth of new collagen deep within the skin. Its unique DeepSEE visualisation technology allows practitioners to visibly see the layers of skin tissue that have suffered collagen loss. This allows our clinicians to carry out a highly targeted treatment that focuses ultrasound energy on precisely where it is needed.
Ultherapy also works well when combined with other treatments such as dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections. The best step is to visit us at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic for a detailed consultation where you can outline areas you want to be targeted and your practitioner can create a personalised treatment plan to help you achieve the best results, give details of the process, provide advice and answer any queries you have.
See The CSC ‘Golden Triad’ and The CSC Lift, Tighten and Glow for examples on how to combine different treatments to achieve, natural looking results.
Ultherapy® is a non-surgical skin lifting and tightening procedure for the upper and lower face, neck and décolletage. It uses micro-focused ultrasound with visualisation (MFU-V) energy to the same depth of skin targeted by surgeons, to generate a thermal effect under the skin. This stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin which can reverse the signs of ageing.
Ultherapy® is a non-surgical ultrasound treatment that stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin deep within the skin. It uses micro-focused ultrasound (MFU-V) energy to target the deep layers of the skin without damaging the skin’s surface. This effect essentially jump starts a repair process; it strengthens existing collagen (a natural protein that keeps skin firmed, toned and therefore youthful) and produces fresh, new collagen, putting structure back into your skin.
Ultherapy® is a non-invasive treatment that can treat sagging skin, jowls, skin laxity, ‘turkey neck’, drooping eyelids, sagging bottoms and the lines and wrinkles on a crepey décolletage.

Ultherapy has become popular with a host of celebrities and influencers thanks to its natural-looking skin tightening benefits.
The beautiful Tess Daly has revealed her love for Ultherapy, and how it has helped her to lift, rejuvenate and replenish her skin in a completely authentic and subtle way. As someone who spends her time in the media spotlight as the much-loved host of Strictly Come Dancing, she has been amazed by how it has helped her to maintain her glowing appearance. She also loves how it has made her skin look luminous and youthful while making it feel boosted, lifted and refreshed. Other celebrity fans of Ultherapy include Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston, as well as Kim Kardashian and Kirsty Gallacher, the official UK Ultherapy brand ambassador.
Ultherapy is currently an FDA-cleared treatment for the face, neck and décolletage with a specific clinical indication for lifting skin on the neck, chin and brow. If you’re concerned about other areas of the body that need tightening, please ask about our body sculpting and body lifting procedures.
Ultherapy treatment applied to the forehead can produce a natural lift to the brow, creating a clear and refreshed look. This is perfect procedure for anyone looking to correct bunching around the brow without the need for surgery.
The ultra-sound treatment stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin deep within the skin, kick-starting the body’s own repair process, creating a lifted effect. When used on the brow, it lifts and tightens the skin and improves the appearance of drooping eyelids.
Ultherapy can be safely and effectively used under the eyes, as long as it is on the bone. For skin immediately under the lash line and around the eyes, Ultherapy is not advised – treatments such as dermal fillers, BOTOX® and Thermage Eyes may be more appropriate.
Yes, of course. Many treatments at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic are ideal for both women and men, and all of our patients are treated with the utmost discretion.
Ultherapy® is unique as it is the only non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses focused ultrasound imaging to stimulate the growth of new collagen deep within the skin. Results can be more effective because your practitioner can see the layers of tissue targeted during your treatment and ensure the energy is focused to precisely where it is needed.
No. Ultherapy uses pulses of ultrasound to create a thermal effect that encourages the production of collagen. Thermage targets collagen in a similar fashion but employs radio waves to stimulate under the skin. The Thermage procedure tightens existing collagen and prompts the production of new collagen.
Some patients see an initial lift after their treatment but real results can become more apparent over three to six months as new collagen builds, gradually lifting the skin and this can last over a year or more.
Patients treated with Ultherapy® still have fresh young collagen even after a year. Although nothing can put a stop to the ageing process, Ultherapy® top-up treatments will keep rebuilding collagen. Every patient is different and your medical practitioner will give you all the advice you need.
This is really down to the individual. The new collagen produced during the initial treatment helps to gradually lift the skin for up to a year or longer. The natural ageing process, however, cannot be halted and so you may wish to eventually have more.
Younger skin tends to produce more collagen, so age will play a factor when you might wish to have another treatment.
We will explain everything in detail, and make you feel at ease and relaxed on the day of your treatment knowing you’re in safe, expert and medically qualified hands.
The procedure takes approximately 60-90 minutes depending on how many areas are treated (for example, the chest takes around 30 minutes). There may be slight redness for up to an hour or so afterwards, and a small percentage of patients may have slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to touch. This effect is mild and only temporary.
Ultrasound imaging has been safely used in medicine for over 50 years. Over 1 million treatments have been performed worldwide so far and Ultherapy® is the only micro-focused ultrasound technology that has been reviewed and cleared in the US by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), who are one of the world’s most stringent regulatory bodies for healthcare. In Europe, it is CE certified for non-invasive sculpting and lifting of the skin on the upper and lower face, neck and décolletage.
Unlike a surgical face-lift, there is no downtime after Ultherapy: you can return to your normal activities directly after treatment.
Through the natural ageing process, the collagen and elastin in our skin starts to breakdown, making our skin less elastic. If you have mild to moderate skin laxity where the skin is starting to look less firm or tight, for example, loose skin on the neck, sagging under the chin, and lines or wrinkles on the chest, Ultherapy® will give a natural, gradual lift leaving you looking refreshed.
Pain thresholds vary from person to person. Discomfort may only happen when the ultrasound energy is delivered, but this is a temporary sensation and a positive sign that the collagen-building process has been initiated. Your practitioner will advise you on how best to manage any discomfort and they may prescribe you pain killers before your procedure to make your treatment more comfortable.
Ultherapy is only available in doctor-led clinics. The procedure can be performed by a qualified aesthetic medical practitioner, including nurses and experienced aestheticians who have extensive hands-on experience. At The Cosmetic Skin Clinic, our experienced nursing team perform Ultherapy every day and achieve positive results.
All clinics and practitioners who have purchased the genuine Ultherapy® system have been provided with a Certificate of Authenticity, which they should be able to show you in their clinic.
Given the success of Ultherapy® and the endorsement of the treatment by a number of high profile celebrities, there has been an increase in the number of copy-cat versions that have become available. It is essential to to be aware that none of these treatments have been approved for use by the FDA and none have unique visualisation technology which allows your practitioner to see before they treat, which is an important safety feature.
The Ultherapy procedure takes around 60 to 90 minutes and you may experience a slight redness for up to an hour or so afterwards. A small percentage of patients may also have a slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to touch but this is mild and only temporary. Your medical practitioner will go over all of this with you. It is our priority that you feel at ease and relaxed on the day of your treatment knowing that you’re in safe, expert and medically qualified hands.
