Ultherapy
Ultrasound Lifting & Tightening
FDA-approved HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) technology that lifts and tightens sagging skin on the face, neck, and jawline. Non-invasive, no needles, no downtime — just natural-looking lift and firmness.
Precision Ultrasound
for Natural Lift
Ultherapy is a non-invasive, FDA-approved ultrasound treatment that uses focused heat energy to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face, neck, and jawline. Unlike surgical facelifts, Ultherapy stimulates your skin's natural collagen production from deep within, creating gradual, natural-looking lift without cutting or injections.
The ultrasound energy reaches the foundational layers of skin (the SMAS layer — the same layer targeted in facelifts) and triggers collagen remodeling over several weeks. Results continue to improve for up to 6 months post-treatment. It is an ideal choice for patients seeking subtle lift, improved jawline definition, reduced neck laxity, and overall facial tightening without invasive surgery or significant downtime.
How Ultherapy Works
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy (HIFU) to create controlled micro-injuries at precise depths. This triggers your body's natural healing response, rebuilding and tightening collagen over time.
Ultrasound energy is focused on the deep structural layers of skin (SMAS layer) — the same layers that surgeons tighten during a facelift. Surface skin remains protected.
Focused ultrasound creates controlled thermal energy at the target depth, triggering immediate collagen contraction and activating the body's natural collagen production process.
Over weeks and months, your skin rebuilds and strengthens its collagen framework. Results continue to improve for up to 6 months as collagen naturally regenerates and tightens.

What to Expect
Consult & Skin Assessment
Your dermatologist evaluates skin laxity, degree of sagging, target areas (forehead, cheeks, jaw, neck), and desired lift. Skin type and sensitivity are assessed to customize treatment depth and intensity.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
The face and neck are cleansed and a coupling gel is applied. Some patients receive a mild topical numbing cream for comfort. Target areas are mapped to guide the handpiece placement for optimal results.
Ultrasound Treatment
The Ultherapy handpiece is systematically applied to targeted zones at precise depths. You may feel slight warmth and tingling sensations — this indicates energy reaching the correct depth. Treatment typically takes 45–90 minutes depending on area size.
Immediate Aftercare
Some mild erythema (redness) or slight swelling may appear but typically resolves within hours. You can apply makeup and resume normal activities immediately. No special post-treatment restrictions are needed.
Progressive Results (6–12 Weeks)
Initial collagen tightening is felt immediately. Visible lift appears within 3–4 weeks. Results continue to improve over 6–12 weeks as collagen remodeling progresses. Optimal final results are typically seen at 12 weeks post-treatment.
Ultherapy / HIFU Treatment Cost
Pricing at Rida Radiance is always stated upfront after a clinical assessment. Below is the published range from our official price guide.
Prices are approximate and may vary based on the area treated, depth of treatment, number of zones targeted, and extent of skin laxity. A personalised treatment quote will be provided after your in-clinic skin assessment and consultation. Package deals may be available for multiple sessions or combination treatments.
Where Ultherapy Works Best
Comprehensive facial lift, tightening across forehead, cheeks, and mid-face. Creates overall refreshed, lifted appearance. Most popular treatment area.
Define and tighten the jaw. Reduces jawline sagging, improves definition and contour. Creates a more sculpted appearance.
Tighten loose neck skin and décolletage area. Improves skin texture, reduces sagging, and restores youthful neck contour.
Non-surgical brow lift. Tightens tissue above the eyes, lifts sagging brows, opens up the eye area for a fresher look.
Lift sagging cheeks, restore volume appearance, improve cheekbone definition. Creates a youthful, lifted midface.
Treat multiple areas in one session. Full face + neck is a popular choice for comprehensive facial rejuvenation and lifting.
Common Questions
Is Ultherapy painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort. You may feel gentle warmth and slight tingling as the ultrasound energy reaches the deep skin layers. This sensation actually indicates the treatment is working effectively.
How long until I see results?
Initial skin tightening is felt immediately. Visible lift appears within 3–4 weeks as collagen remodeling begins. Peak results are typically achieved by 6–12 weeks post-treatment, with continued improvement over 6 months.
Do I need multiple sessions?
Most patients achieve excellent results with one treatment. However, some prefer a second session 12 weeks after the first to target additional areas or deepen results. Your dermatologist will advise based on your skin.
Is there downtime?
No downtime! You may experience mild redness or slight swelling for a few hours, but these resolve quickly. You can apply makeup and resume all normal activities immediately, including exercise.
How long do results last?
Results last 1–2 years or longer. Since Ultherapy stimulates your body's own collagen production, the lift is natural and long-lasting. Touch-up sessions can be done every 1–2 years to maintain results.
Can I combine Ultherapy with other treatments?
Yes! Ultherapy pairs beautifully with radiofrequency, microneedling, lasers, and fillers. A complete skin tightening protocol combining RF + Ultherapy + threads is one of our most popular packages for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
How Ultherapy Compares
| Treatment | Invasiveness | Results Duration | Downtime | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ultherapy (HIFU) | Non-invasive | 1–2 years | None | Natural lift, all skin types, patient preference for no downtime |
| Radiofrequency (RF) | Non-invasive | 6–12 months | None | Surface tightening, skin rejuvenation, multiple sessions needed |
| Thread Lift | Minimally invasive | 1–2 years | 24–48 hours | Dramatic lift, active patients comfortable with minor needling |
| Surgical Facelift | Invasive | 5–10+ years | 2–3 weeks | Severe sagging, very long-term results, comfort with surgery |
