Non-Surgical Skin Tightening for the Face, Eyes, Brow, Neck, and More
Are you starting to notice sagging skin around your face, eyes, jawline, or neck? Aging brings natural changes, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for loose, droopy skin. At The Dermatology, Laser & Vein Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, we offer a revolutionary solution: Ultherapy®, a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that uses ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin naturally—without surgery or downtime.
What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a cutting-edge non-surgical facelift alternative that harnesses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate your body’s own collagen and elastin production. Unlike lasers and other devices that treat surface layers, Ultherapy goes deeper—targeting the SMAS layer (the same foundational tissue layer that is addressed in cosmetic surgery) without damaging the skin’s surface.
The treatment is safe, effective, and ideal for those seeking a natural-looking lift and firmer skin without incisions, scars, or lengthy recovery periods.
How Ultherapy Treats Loose Skin on the Face
Face and Jawline
As collagen and elastin break down with age, the skin on the cheeks, jowls, and jawline starts to droop. Ultherapy tightens this skin by delivering ultrasound energy deep below the surface, creating a controlled thermal injury that triggers the body’s natural healing response. Over time, this leads to visible lifting and firming, especially along the jawline and lower face, where sagging is most noticeable.
Brow and Eyes
The brow and eye area are particularly prone to early signs of aging. Ultherapy is FDA-cleared to lift the brow, which in turn opens the eyes and reduces hooding of the upper eyelids. By tightening the skin around the eyes, it can also reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helping you look more awake and youthful.
Neck and Under-Chin
The dreaded “turkey neck” and under-chin fullness are some of the top concerns for aging patients. Ultherapy helps tighten loose skin under the chin and on the neck, defining your profile and reducing skin laxity in these hard-to-treat areas. It’s often referred to as the “non-surgical neck lift.”
Décolletage and Other Body Areas
Ultherapy isn’t just for the face. It is also FDA-cleared to improve lines and wrinkles on the chest (décolletage), and practitioners at our center use it off-label to treat other areas of the body, such as:
-
Upper arms
-
Abdomen
-
Knees
-
Above the knees
These body areas can benefit from collagen regeneration and lifting, especially after weight loss or due to aging.

What to Expect During Your Ultherapy Treatment
Consultation
Every treatment begins with a detailed consultation. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin condition, identify the areas of concern, and determine if Ultherapy is the right option for you. Some patients may combine Ultherapy with other treatments like injectables or resurfacing lasers for more comprehensive rejuvenation.
Treatment Day
-
Preparation: No anesthesia is required, but we may apply topical numbing cream to increase comfort.
-
Procedure: The handheld device delivers precise ultrasound energy into the targeted layers. You may feel brief heating or tingling as the energy is delivered.
-
Duration: Depending on the treatment area, sessions can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 90 minutes.
Recovery
One of the key benefits of Ultherapy is that there’s no downtime. You can return to normal activities right after your appointment. Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness may occur but typically resolves within a few days.
