Ultherapy

Sylfirm RF Microneedling

Non-Surgical Face & Neck Lift with Ultrasound Technology

If you’re noticing loose or sagging skin, a softened jawline, or loss of firmness in the neck and lower face, Ultherapy offers a proven non-surgical solution to lift and tighten without incisions or downtime. At Zare MedSpa in Nottingham, Maryland, we provide advanced Ultherapy treatments to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, gradually restoring a more defined, youthful contour.

Ultherapy delivers microfocused ultrasound energy precisely to the deeper structural layers of the skin—the same layers typically targeted in surgical facelifts. This controlled thermal stimulation triggers neocollagenesis (new collagen formation), resulting in progressive tightening and lifting that looks completely natural.

Patients from Nottingham, White Marsh, Perry Hall, Parkville, Towson, and throughout Baltimore County trust Zare MedSpa for Ultherapy because it provides meaningful improvement with minimal disruption to daily life.

What Is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive skin tightening and lifting treatment that uses microfocused ultrasound (MFU) energy to reach the foundational layers beneath the skin’s surface. Unlike lasers or radiofrequency devices that work more superficially, Ultherapy targets the deep dermis and the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS)—the supportive layer often addressed in surgery.

The ultrasound energy creates precise thermal coagulation points, prompting the body’s healing response and new collagen production over time. Because results build gradually, they appear refreshed and authentic rather than sudden or overdone.

Ultherapy is commonly used to improve:

Ultherapy Treatment Options

Ultherapy is fully customizable based on your specific concerns and degree of laxity:

Full Face

Focuses on the cheeks, jawline, and lower face to enhance definition, reduce mild sagging, and restore youthful firmness.

Full Face & Neck

Combines facial lifting with targeted tightening of the neck to improve jawline contour and reduce submental (under chin) laxity or “turkey neck” appearance.

Décolleté

Targets the upper chest to improve fine lines, crepey texture, and sun related skin laxity while stimulating collagen to help restore smoother, firmer skin.

During your consultation, your provider will perform a thorough assessment and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for optimal results.

How Ultherapy Works

Ultherapy harnesses ultrasound technology for precise, deep treatment:

  1. Ultrasound Imaging — Real-time visualization allows your provider to see the exact layers beneath the skin for accurate targeting.
  2. Targeted Energy Delivery — Microfocused ultrasound creates controlled thermal points at specific depths (1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm) without affecting the surface.
  3. Collagen Stimulation — The heat initiates a natural regenerative process, stimulating fibroblasts to produce fresh collagen and elastin.
  4. Gradual Skin Tightening — Over months, the new collagen strengthens and lifts the skin for firmer, more contoured results.

Most treatments take 60–90 minutes, depending on the areas addressed.

Minimal—most patients experience no significant downtime, though mild redness or tenderness may last a short time.

Many achieve noticeable improvement with one session; some with greater laxity may benefit from additional or maintenance treatments.

Pricing depends on the treatment area (full face, full face & neck, etc.) and customized plan; your provider will discuss exact costs during consultation.
