Ultherapy
Ultherapy® has become one of the most talked-about treatments for patients seeking a gentle, non-invasive way to lift, tighten, and beautifully transform the brow, chin, neck or chest. This FDA-cleared skin-tightening treatment harnesses the power of ultrasound, a technology that has been trusted in several medical applications for over 50 years. Ultherapy® provides an alternative to surgery and is a no-downtime procedure, meaning you can return to normal activities immediately.
At Belle Vie Aesthetic Medicine in Lexington, KY, our credentialed providers deliver this trusted treatment with the precision and care your skin deserves. Whether you want a subtle lift to your brows, jawline, or neck, Ultherapy® can help restore a firmer, more youthful appearance. Schedule your complimentary consultation and discover how simple, pure, and effective modern skin tightening can be.
Tightens skin on the face, neck, and décolletage without surgery or downtime.

Lifting and tightening continue to improve for several months after treatment.
After about age 20, the dermis layer of your skin synthesizes less collagen, resulting in drier, thinner and less elastic skin. Ultherapy® uses ultrasound energy to boost the level of collagen in your skin, which is the key factor in maintaining elasticity and youthful-appearance. Ultrasound energy penetrates into the deep layers of skin where collagen is produced, where even lasers cannot reach. As collagen fibers rebuild, patients see firmer skin and more sculpted contours in areas like the brow, face, jawline, neck, and décolletage.
Imaging technology used during the Ultherapy® treatment allows our experienced staff to see the tissue layers being treated, assuring that the ultrasound energy is reaching those areas where it will be most beneficial. Once your dermis begins producing new collagen, sagging facial, neck and decolletage skin lifts and starts to look younger and tighter. As Ultherapy® awakens your skin’s vitality, you will be delighted with your amazing, natural-looking results.
Your provider will begin with a consultation to determine your unique treatment plan. On treatment day, your skin will be cleansed, and a specialized ultrasound gel will be applied. Using the Ultherapy® handpiece, your provider delivers precise ultrasound energy to targeted depths beneath the skin.
You may feel a gentle warmth or tingling as the energy stimulates collagen production. Most treatments take 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area. There’s no downtime, so you can return to work or your daily activities right after your visit.
Ultherapy® is ideal for treating mild to moderate skin laxity when skin starts to feel less firm or begins to sag. It’s commonly used to:
By strengthening the skin from within, Ultherapy® helps you look refreshed and lifted without surgery or injectables.
Ultherapy® can treat the brow, face, chin, neck, and décolletage. It’s an excellent option for areas that need tightening but aren’t ready for surgical correction.
Ultherapy® provides natural, long-lasting rejuvenation by harnessing your body’s own collagen response. Patients love that it offers visible lifting and tightening without the risks or downtime of surgery.
In addition to firmer skin, many patients notice a smoother texture, improved definition, and an overall refreshed appearance that develops gradually, so results always look natural.
You may be a good candidate if you’ve noticed mild skin laxity around the brows, jawline, or neck but prefer a non-invasive option. Ultherapy® works best for those with some collagen left to stimulate and may not be suitable for those with severe laxity or very thin skin.
During your consultation, your Belle Vie provider will evaluate your skin and create a plan that matches your needs, goals, and comfort level.
There’s virtually no downtime after Ultherapy®. Some patients experience mild redness, slight swelling, or tenderness for a few hours, but these effects fade quickly. You can return to your daily routine right away. Just be gentle with your skin and use sunscreen to protect it from UV exposure. Your provider will give you guidelines on protecting and nurturing your skin after treatment.
Most patients begin to notice visible improvement within two to three months, as new collagen builds beneath the skin’s surface. Lifting and tightening continue to develop for up to six months, revealing a more defined, naturally youthful look.
Results typically last about a year or more, depending on your skin’s age, health, and collagen production. Many patients schedule maintenance sessions every 12 to 18 months to maintain their refreshed appearance.
