Ultherapy has been voted by expert consensus as ‘The Gold Standard treatment for non invasive skin lifting and tightening’.
Ultherapy is a unique treatment that uses well established ultrasound technology rather than laser or radiofrequency, and is associated with minimal down time or risk of side effects.
Mulberry House Clinic is an Authentic Provider of this fabulous anti-ageing treatment.
Ultherapy is a multiple award-winning non-invasive treatment that uses safe ultrasound in order to stimulate your body’s own production of collagen and elastin.
This lifts and tightens the skin for natural-looking anti-ageing results on the very areas that concern our clients when it comes to showing unwanted signs of ageing:
By boosting the collagen and elastin within the skin, Ultherapy works with the body’s own resources. There are no injections and no lasers involved and results are clear to see:
Ultherapy bypasses the surface of the skin through ultrasound energy.
Focused imaging ensures that the treatment targets the most appropriate depths and uses the optimum temperature to safely yet effectively stimulate collagen production.
This method of treatment is completely unique, offering a different experience to injections, peels and even advanced technology such as IPL, laser or radiofrequency.
“This is the only treatment that utilises visualisation of the tissue via ultrasound scan as part of the process.
“As medical aesthetics practitioners, this helps us to accurately identify and treat the areas and depths that will give the most effective result.
“For patients, this means that fewer treatments are required to achieve the same results compared to treatments that use the same sort of technology but without visualisation.”

Ultherapy® uses microfocused ultrasound to warm the tissues beneath the surface of the skin.
The induced thermal effect kick-starts the body’s renewal processes, creating fresh, new collagen.
Collagen is a natural protein which gives skin its youthfulness by keeping it firm and toned.
As we age, collagen breaks down, so the skin loses its natural strength and elasticity.
Ultherapy promotes collagen production.
During treatment, you will feel heat energy being delivered to the skin. This indicates the start of the collagen-building process and is often described as a tingling sensation. Everyone will have different sensitivity to the treatment, but this should subside once the treatment is finished. We also have protocols in place to manage any pain.
This will depend on the area being treated. As a guide:
You will be given full advice on what to expect at your consultation.
Often patients feel that their face is ‘tighter’ straight after the first treatment; but usually the full impact of the lifted and tightened results appear from 3 months after treatment. This is once the new collagen and elastin have had time to form.
The results keep getting better and can last over one year. However, the treatment is highly customised for everyone and depends on the degree of skin laxity you start with. So a consultation is advised to see what outcomes you can expect.
Ultherapy suggest that results can last a year or more. This will vary for each patient. As a general rule, new collagen will last at least 7 years. However, the amount of collagen is variable and its rate of depletion will also vary depending on skin health, smoking, sun exposure and lifestyle.
After the initial course, we recommend a ‘touch up’ every 12-18 months to maintain results.
Ultherapy really is a ‘no downtime’ treatment. Patients can return to normal activities immediately after the procedure. There are no restrictions or aftercare requirements following the treatment.
Side effects are usually mild and temporary in nature. The most common are:
A very small number of patients may experience temporary bruising or numbness on small areas of skin.
You can expect noticeable results after a single session, but results do build up with repeated sessions.
We normally recommend a course of 3 treatments, although more can be given if necessary.
Ultherapy is the only non-invasive procedure approved by the FDA in America to lift skin on the neck.
Loose and wrinkly skin on the neck is a very common sign of aging skin but there are few options for the delicate skin in this area. Ultherapy can help with noticeable results.
