Why Choose Dr. Avaliani for Ultherapy Prime?
Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared non-invasive procedure that uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin on the face, neck, and décolletage. The device delivers precise heat energy to the deep tissue layers where new collagen is formed, triggering the body’s natural regenerative response. Results develop gradually over 3-6 months and can last up to 2 years from a single treatment, all with no downtime, no incisions, and no scars.
Focused Ultrasound Energy
Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound energy to heat deep tissue layers to 60-70°C, reaching depths that no other non-invasive treatment can achieve. This triggers a three-stage collagen response: inflammation, new collagen production, and maturation

What Is Ultherapy Prime?
Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared non-invasive ultrasound treatment that lifts and tightens the skin from deep within. The device delivers focused ultrasound energy to heat tissue to 60-70°C at precise depths beneath the skin surface. The body recognizes this controlled heating as an injury signal and initiates a powerful collagen repair response that gradually lifts and tightens the treated tissue over the following months.
At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, every Ultherapy session is performed with real-time ultrasound visualization, allowing Dr. Avaliani to see the tissue layers being treated and deliver energy with maximum precision. Treatment time ranges from 15 minutes to 2 hours depending on the areas treated. The procedure is generally painless, with some patients experiencing slight warming during energy delivery.
How Ultherapy Works
Ultherapy triggers a three-stage collagen regeneration process:
- Focused ultrasound energy bypasses the skin surface and heats deep tissue layers to 60-70°C
- Stage 1. Inflammation: the body recognizes the controlled heating and initiates its natural repair response
- Stage 2. New Collagen Production: fresh collagen and elastin fibers form in the treated tissue over weeks
- Stage 3. Maturation: the new collagen strengthens and contracts, progressively lifting and tightening the skin
- Full results become evident at 3-6 months post-treatment and can last up to 2 years with proper skin care and sun protection
What Ultherapy Treats
Non-Surgical Brow Lift
Drooping eyebrows and hooded upper eyelids that make you look tired or aged. Ultherapy lifts the brow from deep within by stimulating collagen at the foundational tissue layer, opening the eye area for a more alert, refreshed appearance without surgery.
Chin & Jawline Tightening
Sagging skin along the chin and jawline that blurs the facial contour. Ultherapy tightens the deep tissue beneath the chin and along the jaw, restoring definition and creating a more sculpted, youthful profile without incisions.
Neck Lift & Tightening
Loose neck skin, neck bands, and the appearance of a “turkey neck” from aging and gravity. Ultherapy reaches the deep tissue layers of the neck to stimulate collagen production, gradually lifting and tightening for a smoother, more youthful neck.
Décolletage Rejuvenation
Wrinkled, crepey skin on the chest and décolletage from sun damage and aging. Ultherapy is FDA-cleared for the décolletage area, stimulating deep collagen renewal to improve skin texture, firmness, and the appearance of chest wrinkles.
Wrinkle Reduction
Deep facial wrinkles and rhytids caused by collagen loss and gravity. Ultherapy’s focused ultrasound reaches the tissue layers where wrinkle formation originates, triggering collagen renewal that gradually smooths and firms the skin from deep within.
Body Skin Tightening
Skin laxity on the arms, thighs, and abdomen that creates a loose, aged appearance. While Ultherapy is best known for facial and neck lifting, it can also be used on body areas where deep tissue tightening is desired.
Ultherapy Technology
Ultherapy’s focused ultrasound technology is the only non-invasive treatment that reaches the deep foundational tissue:
Micro-Focused Ultrasound
Ultherapy uses micro-focused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) to deliver precise thermal energy to specific depths beneath the skin. The ultrasound energy bypasses the surface entirely, heating only the targeted deep tissue layer to 60-70°C. This is the same type of energy used in diagnostic ultrasound imaging, but focused to create controlled thermal coagulation points.
Real-Time Visualization
Dr. Avaliani uses the built-in ultrasound imaging to visualize the tissue layers being treated in real-time. This allows precise placement of energy at the optimal depth for each treatment area, ensuring the ultrasound reaches the foundational tissue where lifting and collagen stimulation will be most effective.
Deep Tissue Reach
Ultherapy is the only non-invasive treatment that reaches the deep foundational tissue layer (SMAS), the same layer targeted in surgical facelifts. No laser, radiofrequency, or other non-invasive device can reach this depth. This is why Ultherapy produces true tissue lifting that other non-surgical treatments cannot achieve.

Does It Hurt?
Your comfort options (we tailor this to you)
Ultherapy is a very safe and generally well-tolerated procedure. During energy delivery, you may feel slight warming or brief tingling sensations as the ultrasound reaches the deep tissue layers. Most patients find the treatment comfortable, especially with the comfort measures Dr. Avaliani provides.
Dr. Avaliani offers topical numbing, oral comfort medication, and Pro-Nox (nitrous oxide) to ensure your complete comfort throughout the session. There is absolutely no downtime after Ultherapy. You may experience mild redness, slight soreness, or tingling, all very transient. Patients resume their regular activities immediately after treatment.

Ultherapy Prime frequently asked questions
What is Ultherapy and how does it work?
Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared non-invasive treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to heat deep tissue layers to 60-70°C. This triggers a three-stage collagen response: inflammation, new collagen production, and maturation. The result is gradual lifting and tightening of the skin from the foundational tissue layer up.
How many Ultherapy sessions do I need?
Many patients achieve excellent results from a single Ultherapy session. Results develop gradually over 3-6 months and can last up to 2 years with proper skin care. Some patients choose annual touch-up sessions to maintain their results as part of an ongoing anti-aging strategy.
Does Ultherapy hurt?
Ultherapy is generally well tolerated. You may feel slight warming or brief tingling during energy delivery as the ultrasound reaches the deep tissue layers. Dr. Avaliani offers topical numbing, oral comfort medication, and Pro-Nox (nitrous oxide) to ensure your complete comfort throughout the session.
Is there any downtime after Ultherapy?
There is no downtime. You may experience mild redness, slight soreness, or tingling after treatment, all very transient. Patients resume their regular activities immediately after the session. No incisions, bandages, or recovery period.
How long do Ultherapy results last?
Results have been proven to last up to 2 years with regular skin care and sun protection. The new collagen produced by Ultherapy is real, structural collagen that provides lasting support. However, the natural aging process continues, so annual maintenance sessions can help sustain your results.
Can Ultherapy replace a facelift?
Ultherapy is an excellent alternative for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who want lifting without surgery. It reaches the same deep tissue layer (SMAS) targeted in surgical facelifts. For patients with significant laxity, surgery may still be recommended. Dr. Avaliani will honestly assess your situation during consultation.
Can I combine Ultherapy with other treatments?
Yes. Ultherapy is compatible with neurotoxins and can be combined with most other treatments. If you have recently had dermal fillers in the treatment area, it is recommended to wait 4 weeks before Ultherapy. Dr. Avaliani can design a comprehensive rejuvenation plan incorporating Ultherapy with other modalities.
What areas can Ultherapy treat?
Ultherapy is FDA-cleared for the brow (non-surgical brow lift), chin and jawline, neck, and décolletage. It is also used off-label for arms, thighs, and abdomen skin tightening. Treatment times range from 15 minutes for targeted areas to up to 2 hours for comprehensive full-face and neck sessions.
When will I see results from Ultherapy?
Results develop gradually as new collagen forms. Some patients notice initial tightening within a few weeks. Noticeable changes typically appear around one month post-treatment, with full lifting and tightening results becoming evident at 3-6 months.
How is Ultherapy different from RF skin tightening?
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy that reaches much deeper tissue layers (including the SMAS) than radiofrequency devices can achieve. RF treatments work on more superficial layers for skin tightening, while Ultherapy provides true tissue lifting from the foundational layer. Both are effective but work at different depths and produce complementary results.
