Ultherapy is a non-invasive ultrasound technology that stimulates collagen production to lift and tighten skin without surgery or downtime. The treatment targets deep foundational layers beneath the skin's surface to naturally lift the brow, smooth the chin and neck, and rejuvenate the décolletage. Performed by board-certified dermatologists and physician assistants at Nua Medical Spa, Ultherapy offers gradual, natural-looking results over 2-3 months as new collagen rebuilds.

How Ultherapy Works
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to target the deep foundational layers of tissue that doctors address in cosmetic surgery—without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin. The ultrasound energy stimulates the body's natural production of collagen, which helps lift and tighten the skin over time.
Unlike lasers which treat the superficial layers of skin, Ultherapy bypasses the surface to deliver energy at optimal depths where collagen-rich tissue resides. This precision targeting means effective results without damaging the skin's surface.
What to Expect During Treatment
During your Ultherapy session at Nua Medical Spa, ultrasound imaging allows your provider to see the layers of tissue being treated and ensure energy is deposited at the optimal depth. You may feel tiny amounts of energy being delivered as the treatment takes place, which indicates the collagen-building process has been initiated.
The procedure is performed in Nua's state-of-the-art facility designed for patient comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as brief periods of warmth or tingling during energy delivery. After treatment, you can immediately return to your normal activities with no special post-treatment care required.
