As the skin ages, gradual changes in firmness and elasticity can become more noticeable. Many individuals begin to see softer facial contours, mild sagging along the jawline, or loose skin around the neck and under the chin. These changes often develop slowly and may affect how defined the face and neck appear.
A non-surgical treatment option may help address these concerns for individuals looking to improve skin support without surgery. Patients visiting Purefico Medspa and Longevity Center in Cornelius, NC, receive careful consultation and treatment planning to determine if Ultherapy is appropriate for their aesthetic goals.
Ultherapy ® is a non-invasive aesthetic treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production beneath the skin’s surface. Collagen is an important structural protein that helps maintain skin firmness and elasticity.
By delivering ultrasound energy at targeted depths, Ultherapy® encourages the body’s natural collagen-building process. Over time, this may improve the appearance of lax skin in areas such as the brow, under the chin, neck, and chest, and also improve visible definition along the jawline.
Skin may gradually lose firmness as collagen levels decline, leading to loose or sagging skin around the face and neck.
A subtle lowering of the brow can affect the appearance of the upper face and contribute to a heavier look around the eyes.
Skin laxity beneath the chin may affect facial contours and jawline definition.
As collagen decreases, loose skin and folds may become more visible along the neck.
The chest area, often called the décolleté, may develop lines and reduced firmness due to sun exposure and aging.
After treatment, many patients notice improvements such as:

Our team focuses on responsible care and individualized treatment planning.
Ultherapy® is FDA-cleared to lift the brow and tighten lax skin on the face, neck, under the chin, and on the chest area known as the décolleté. It is also commonly included in treatment plans focused on improving visible definition around the jawline.
Treatment time depends on the areas being treated. A brow treatment may take about 30 minutes, while treatments involving the face and neck may take approximately 60 to 90 minutes.
Some patients notice an initial effect after treatment, while improvement usually develops gradually over the following two to three months as collagen production increases.
Many patients return to normal daily activities soon after treatment. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or tingling may occur and typically resolve within a short period.
How long results last varies from person to person. Factors such as skin condition, age, and the natural aging process all play a role in maintaining results.
If you are concerned about loose skin around the neck, jawline, or brow area, Ultherapy® may be worth discussing during a consultation.
