“Ulthera is a revolutionary treatment that harnesses ultrasound technology to lift and tighten skin naturally, revealing a more youthful you.”
Ulthera Results
The results of Ulthera, or Ultherapy, are both immediate and progressive. Directly after the treatment, some patients may notice an initial effect. However, the ultimate lifting and toning will take place over 2-3 months as tired collagen is replaced with new, more elastic collagen.
The skin begins to lift and tighten on the neck, chin, and brow, creating a more youthful appearance. In some cases, improvements can continue for up to 6 months post-treatment.
- The results are natural-looking and noticeable without radically changing your facial features.
- It’s important to note that while Ultherapy is not a replacement for a surgical facelift, it’s a clinically proven non-invasive alternative for those not ready for surgery—and can even be an option for patients who wish to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery.
- As with any cosmetic procedure, results may vary from person to person, depending on the body’s natural aging process and lifestyle factors.

What is Ulthera? The Science Behind Non-Surgical Skin Lifting
Ultherapy is a non-surgical skin lifting and tightening treatment that utilizes High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound HIFU energy to stimulate collagen production in the deep layers of the skin.
- This revolutionary treatment targets the foundational layers of tissue, helping to gradually lift and tighten sagging skin without any incisions, needles, or downtime.
- FDA-cleared and clinically proven, Ultherapy is safe and effective for treating the face, neck, and décolletage.
- The treatment can help you achieve a more youthful appearance by addressing common concerns such as sagging eyebrows, loose skin on the neck, and visible lines and wrinkles on the chest.

What to Expect During Your Treatment
At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre, we are committed to ensuring that your Ultherapy treatment is tailored to your unique needs and desired outcomes. Here’s what you can expect during your Ultherapy journey:
- Consultation: We begin with a thorough consultation to discuss your concerns, assess your skin, and determine if Ultherapy is the right treatment for you.
- Treatment plan: Our experienced team will create a customized treatment plan to address your specific concerns and aesthetic goals.
- Treatment session: During the session, our skilled practitioner will apply the Ultherapy device to the target areas, delivering focused ultrasound energy that stimulates collagen production.
- Recovery and aftercare: Ultherapy requires no downtime, and you can return to your daily activities immediately. You may experience some mild redness and swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours.
- Results: Results will gradually develop over the course of 2-6 months as your body continues to produce new collagen, providing you with natural-looking skin lifting and tightening.
Ulthera vs Laser Treatments: Understanding the Key Differences
Ulthera, also known as Ultherapy, and laser treatments represent two distinctive approaches to cosmetic treatments, each with its own set of strengths.
- Ulthera is a non-invasive procedure that uses focused ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. This helps to lift and tighten sagging skin, primarily on the neck and under the chin, and even on the eyebrow.
- Unlike Ulthera, laser treatments work by emitting light energy that is absorbed by the skin, converting it into heat. This heat can remove or resurface the skin, stimulate collagen, or target specific pigments or vessels depending on the type of laser used.
- It’s commonly used for addressing issues like wrinkles, spots, scars, or veins on the surface of the skin.
- Therefore, while both methods aim to improve the appearance of the skin, Ulthera focuses on deep tissue lifting and tightening, while lasers focus more on the skin’s surface and pigment changes.

Why Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre is Your Top Choice

- Consultation Process: The best clinics offer a comprehensive consultation process where they explain the treatment, assess your suitability, and answer any questions you may have. They should also provide you with a realistic expectation of the results.
- Facility and Equipment: The clinic should be clean, comfortable, and equipped with the latest FDA-approved Ultherapy devices. It’s important that the clinic regularly updates and maintains its equipment to ensure the safety and effectiveness of treatments.
- Personal Comfort: Lastly, choose a clinic where you feel comfortable. The staff should be welcoming, professional, and respectful, and should make you feel at ease before, during, and after your treatment.
Remember, investing in quality treatments from a reputable clinic helps ensure you achieve the best possible results and have a positive experience with Ultherapy.
Ultherapy Transducers: Customizing Your Treatment
Ultherapy utilizes different transducers to deliver focused ultrasound energy at various depths within the skin’s layers. At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre, we use a range of transducers to ensure each treatment is customized to the unique needs of our clients. This allows us to target specific areas of concern and achieve optimal skin lifting and tightening results.
Our experienced practitioners select the appropriate transducer based on factors such as skin thickness, treatment area, and desired outcome. The most common transducers used in Ultherapy treatments include:
DS 4-1.5 mm
Ideal for treating delicate areas like the upper eyelids and around the eyes, targeting superficial skin layers.
DS 7-3.5 mm
This penetration depth guarantees excellent effects on wrinkles and enhances skin tightening and tone improvement. Suitable for treating the face and neck, reaching the mid-to-deep dermal layers for collagen stimulation.
DS 10-4.5 mm
The SMAS layer is located at a depth of 4.5mm from the facial surface and means a layer of tissue that covers, surrounds, and attaches to the deeper tissues and structures of the face. The facial muscle gets sagged when this layer is loosened, making you look older.
By delivering energy to the muscle fascia and creating focal coagulation points, Ulthera tightens the muscle fascia and gets excellent lifting results. Designed for lifting and tightening skin on the lower face, neck, and décolletage, focusing on the deep dermal and superficial muscle layers.
By utilizing a combination of transducers, our team can provide highly personalized treatments that address your specific concerns and help you achieve the best possible results with Ultherapy.

How deep does Ulthera go?
Three different layers comprise your facial skin:
- The epidermis is the skin's flexible outer layer. Just under the epidermis is the dermis, a collagen-rich layer.
- Subсutаnеоu, the inner layer beneath the dermis, is composed of fat and is surrounded by a web of collagen fibers.
- The SMAS layer, or Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System, is a layer of tissue in the face. This layer, found underneath the subcutaneous fat, envelopes the muscles responsible for facial expression.
