Radiofrequency Skin Tightening (Face & Neck)

Focused ultrasound skin tightening delivers ultrasound energy through the skin to precise depths below the surface, including the deeper supporting layer that facelift surgery also targets. The heat this creates may stimulate new collagen, which can help gradually lift and tighten mild to moderate looseness on the brow, jawline, under the chin and on the neck. Ultherapy is one well-known example.

The treatment can be uncomfortable when the energy reaches the deeper layers, so providers often offer pain relief options. There are no incisions, and most people return to normal activities the same day. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness or tingling is common. Bruising or temporary numbness can occur, but is less common.

Results develop gradually over two to three months and are usually subtle. Many people need only one session, with maintenance treatments later on. It isn’t a substitute for surgery. A qualified provider can assess whether you’re a good candidate.
