Ultherapy Skin Tightening

ultherapy in Albuquerque, NM

Ultherapy is a non invasive skin tightening treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and firm the skin over time. It is commonly used to address mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, and décolletage by supporting the body’s natural collagen production. Ultherapy is often chosen by patients looking for gradual, natural looking improvement without surgery.

At Pink Mountain Wellness in Albuquerque, NM, Ultherapy treatments are customized based on your skin concerns, anatomy, and long term goals. Our approach emphasizes subtle lifting and tightening results that enhance your natural features while maintaining a balanced and refreshed appearance.

How ULtherapy Works

Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to target deeper layers of the skin that are typically addressed in surgical lifting procedures. The energy is delivered at precise depths to stimulate the body’s natural collagen response without disrupting the surface of the skin.

The treatment is guided by ultrasound imaging, allowing for accurate energy placement based on individual anatomy. Over time, the skin gradually becomes firmer and more lifted as collagen regeneration occurs.

What ultherapy Treats

Ultherapy is commonly used to improve skin laxity and firmness. This treatment can help with:

  • Sagging skin on the face

  • Loose skin along the jawline

  • Neck laxity

  • Brow drooping

  • Crepey skin on the décolletage

  • Loss of facial firmness

  • Early signs of skin aging

Ultherapy may also be used preventatively or as part of a maintenance plan to help support collagen production and slow visible skin laxity over time.

What to Expect During Treatment

An Ultherapy appointment typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the treatment area. During the session, ultrasound energy is delivered to targeted areas using a handheld device, with treatment depth adjusted based on your skin needs.

There is minimal downtime following Ultherapy. Some patients experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness, which usually resolves within a few hours to a few days. Most people return to normal activities shortly after treatment.

When You Will See Results

Some patients notice subtle tightening within a few weeks as collagen production begins. More noticeable lifting and firming typically develop gradually over two to three months.

Results from Ultherapy can last up to a year or longer, depending on individual factors such as skin condition and aging process. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to support ongoing collagen stimulation and preserve results.
