What is Ultherapy?

Over time, ageing, gravity and the gradual loss of collagen can cause the skin to lose firmness, particularly around the jawline, cheeks and neck. For individuals seeking visible lifting and tightening effects without surgery, ultrasound-based treatments such as Ultherapy provide a medical-grade, non-invasive option in Singapore.

Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and firm the skin on the face, neck and décolletage. By stimulating collagen production in the deeper layers, it helps improve skin elasticity and definition over time in a gradual, natural-looking manner.

What conditions does Ultherapy treat?

Whether you are concerned about early signs of ageing or deeper skin laxity, Ultherapy can address:

Double chin or lack of jawline definition
Drooping brows and upper eyelids
Loss of facial contour
Sagging skin on the face, neck, and under the chin
Wrinkles on the neck and chest (decolletage)

How does Ultherapy work?

Unlike lasers or radiofrequency treatments that mainly target the skin’s surface, Ultherapy works deeper at the foundational layers beneath the skin. These are the same layers that surgeons lift during a facelift. What makes Ultherapy so effective is its use of Microfocused Ultrasound with Visualisation (MFU-V), a technology that allows for precise, real-time imaging during treatment.

This real-time imaging allows to see the exact layers of your skin, ensuring the ultrasound energy is delivered directly to the areas responsible for collagen production and skin lifting. This deep, targeted approach triggers a natural process known as neocollagenesis, where your body creates fresh, new collagen.

Over the next three to six months, your skin gradually lifts, firms, and tightens as collagen rebuilds from within. All of this happens without breaking the skin’s surface, making Ultherapy a true non-invasive facelift alternative.

Ultherapy is designed to stimulate collagen production by penetrating the deeper layers of the skin and address sagging skin.

The ultrasound energy is used to lift and tighten the skin through natural collagen building, helping patients to achieve a fresher, more lifted and youthful appearance. At Cove, Ultherapy is one of our most popular non-invasive, low maintenance and low commitment anti-ageing treatment, since the effects last up to a year or more, depending on individual natural ageing process.

STEPS	DESCRIPTION
Real-time skin imaging (MFU-V)	Our doctors use Ultherapy’s targeted visualisation technology to see your skin layers live, ensuring precision.
Focused ultrasound energy delivery	Targeted ultrasound energy is delivered at precisely the right depth, reaching the SMAS layer, the same layer lifted during surgical facelifts.
Natural collagen stimulation	This focused energy heats the tissue, triggering a natural healing response where new collagen forms over the next few months.
Gradual skin lifting and tightening	As collagen regenerates, you will notice your skin gradually becoming firmer, tighter, and more lifted, with improvements continuing over three to six months.
No surface damage	Because the ultrasound energy bypasses the outer skin layer, there’s no downtime, making it convenient for even the busiest schedules.

What is the S.P.T. treatment protocol for Ultherapy?

The See, Plan, Treat (S.P.T.) treatment protocol is a refined approach developed to enhance the effectiveness and comfort of Ultherapy. Generally, the protocol works:

See – Visualise the target layers

Ultherapy uses real-time ultrasound imaging to allow the doctors to observe beneath the skin. This step ensures:

Accurate visualisation of key layers such as the dermis and fascia.
Precise targeting of treatment areas based on patient anatomy.
Avoidance of critical structure such as bones and blood vessels.

Plan – Customise the treatment

After visualising the tissue layers, the doctors will develop a personalised treatment plan, which includes:

Identifying areas of concern like sagging jawline, droopy brows or neck laxity.
Selecting appropriate treatment depths (1.5mm, 3.0mm or 4.5mm).
Determining the energy levels and treatment lines based on the skin’s thickness and desired results.
Deciding on a multi-depth treatment strategy for more comprehensive lifting and tightening.

Treat – Deliver energy precisely

The actual Ultherapy procedure is carried out based on the plan:

Ultrasound energy is delivered at specific depths to stimulate collagen production.
Real-time imaging continues during treatment for precision and safety.
Treatment is usually done in a linear fashion across the target areas.

What are the advantages of S.P.T. Protocol?

Some of the benefits that the protocol offers are:

Customises treatment to each individual's unique anatomy and concerns
Optimises precision and efficacy of treatment
Improves comfort and safety profile

Ultherapy’s visualisation technology for enhanced safety and optimal results

Ultherapy’s enhanced visualisation system provides real-time imaging of the skin layers, allowing doctors to plan and deliver treatment with greater accuracy and consistency.

What does the treatment entail?

We believe that understanding the process helps you feel confident and comfortable every step of the way. From personalised analysis to tailored aftercare, here’s what you can expect when you choose Ultherapy with us.

STEPS	DESCRIPTION
Step 1: Personalised Skin Analysis	Your Ultherapy journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and detailed skin assessment by our professional doctors.By understanding your skin at a deeper level, we can customise your Ultherapy treatment plan to target your specific concerns, whether it is lifting your jawline, tightening sagging cheeks or restoring definition to your neck.
Step 2: Preparation and Numbing	While Ultherapy is non-invasive, comfort matters. To ensure your experience is smooth, our therapists will apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment areas. This helps minimise any potential discomfort during the session.
Step 3: Ultherapy Treatment	Once you are ready, our doctors will use the Ultherapy device to deliver precise ultrasound energy to the deeper layers of your skin, which are the very structures that surgical facelifts typically address.Thanks to real-time imaging, we can visualise your skin layers and ensure the energy is delivered with absolute precision. This step takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
Step 4: Post-Treatment Care	One of the reasons Ultherapy is so popular is the lack of downtime. You can return to your regular activities right after your session. Mild redness, tingling or slight swelling may occur but usually subside within hours.Our team will provide personalised post-treatment skincare recommendations to support your healing process and enhance your final results.

How Ultherapy targets different skin layers

Ultherapy works by delivering focused ultrasound energy to multiple layers beneath the skin’s surface, where collagen loss and skin laxity begin. By targeting specific depths, the treatment stimulates natural collagen production and supports gradual lifting and tightening from within without disrupting the outer layer of the skin.

1.5 mm – targets the superficial dermis to improve skin texture and fine lines
3.0 mm – reaches the deeper dermal layer to boost collagen formation and firmness
4.5 mm – penetrates the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), the same foundational layer addressed in surgical facelifts

This multi-layered approach allows for precise energy delivery tailored to each patient’s skin condition, promoting natural, progressive improvement in elasticity and definition.

What results can you expect?

Visible improvements often begin to appear within two to three months as your skin naturally renews collagen and elastin. Over the following three to six months, you will notice progressively firmer, tighter skin with sharper facial contours.

Ultherapy results are long-lasting, with most patients enjoying their lifted appearance for 12 to 18 months before natural ageing gradually resumes. To maintain these good results, many patients choose to repeat Ultherapy treatments every 9 to 12 months, ensuring their skin stays firm, youthful, and beautifully lifted.

Ultherapy is a safe and minimally invasive treatment that offers effective and long-lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a good candidate for Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is ideal for individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin sagging, especially around the jawline, cheeks, neck or brows. It is ideal for those seeking a firmer, lifted appearance without surgery. If you are unsure whether Ultherapy or another treatment suits your needs, our doctors can guide you during your consultation.

How many sessions of Ultherapy do I need?

Most patients only need a single session to achieve visible lifting and tightening. Results gradually improve over the next three to six months. For optimal, long-term results, maintenance treatments every 9 to 12 months are recommended.

Is Ultherapy safe for all skin tones, including Asian skin?

Yes, Ultherapy is safe for all skin tones, including Asian skin. Since ultrasound energy works on deep structural layers instead of the surface, the risk of pigmentation or skin damage is minimal.

Is Ultherapy painful?

Most patients describe the sensation as warm, tingling or prickling during treatment. Discomfort is usually mild to moderate, and numbing cream is applied beforehand for added comfort. Our doctors also monitor your comfort level throughout the session.

Is there any downtime after Ultherapy?

There is minimal to no downtime after Ultherapy. Most patients return to their normal activities immediately. You may experience mild redness, tingling or swelling, but these side effects typically subside within a few hours.

When will I see results after Ultherapy?

You may notice some initial firming after two to three months, with the full lifting effect developing over three to nine months as your body naturally produces new collagen.

How long do Ultherapy results last?

Results typically last 12 months, depending on your skin’s natural ageing process, lifestyle habits, and skincare routine. Many patients opt for maintenance sessions every 9 to 12 months to maintain their lifted look.

Can Ultherapy replace a surgical facelift?

While Ultherapy offers powerful non-surgical lifting, it is most suited for those with mild to moderate skin laxity. It is not a replacement for surgical facelifts, but it is a great option if you prefer a natural-looking lift without surgery or downtime.

How much does Ultherapy cost in Singapore?

Ultherapy pricing depends on factors such as the treatment area (full face, neck or smaller zones) and the clinic’s technology and expertise. Because it is clinically proven and offers greater precision with real-time imaging, Ultherapy generally costs more than HIFU.
