What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy harnesses focused ultrasound energy to penetrate deep beneath the skin’s surface, stimulating collagen production while leaving the surface skin completely untouched. The ultrasound waves create controlled micro-injuries in the deeper tissue layers, triggering your body’s natural healing response and collagen regeneration process that continues working for months after your single treatment session.
The Procedure
Your Ultherapy session will take place right here at Glow: Houston’s very own fountain of youth. We’ll begin with a thorough skin cleansing and the application of an ultrasound gel to facilitate energy transmission.
The Ultherapy device is then used to deliver focused ultrasonic pulses into the underlying dermal tissue for powerful collagen induction. Although pain tolerance varies individually, most patients describe brief warming sensations or mild discomfort.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a good candidate for Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a strong choice for Houston-area patients experiencing:
- Mild to moderate sagging skin along the jawline
- Loose neck skin and developing turkey neck
- Drooping eyebrow area and forehead
- Chest wrinkles and décolletage aging
- Desire for gradual, natural-appearing improvement
Patients with certain medical implants or open wounds in desired treatment areas should avoid Ultherapy. Pregnant women and individuals with active skin infections require postponement. During your initial consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin condition and lifting goals to ensure Ultherapy is the best fit for you.
What happens after your session?
No special recovery period is necessary after an Ultherapy treatment. Some patients experience temporary redness, slight swelling, or tenderness that typically resolves within a few hours.
Your skin begins its regenerative process immediately, though visible improvements emerge gradually over 2-3 months as new collagen forms and existing fibers tighten. The lifting and tightening effects often last for two years or longer, though individual results vary based on age, skin condition, and natural aging progression.

How much is Ultherapy?
The price of Ultherapy depends on the treatment areas selected and individual skin lifting needs. We also offer financing through Cherry to help patients manage the cost of care.
Does Ultherapy cause fat loss?
Ultherapy can cause some incidental fat reduction in treated areas due to the thermal energy affecting fat cells beneath the skin. However, the amount of fat reduction is minor and not a primary goal of this procedure.
Can you wear makeup immediately after Ultherapy?
Yes, makeup can be applied following an Ultherapy treatment, since the procedure doesn't break or damage the skin's surface. Some patients may prefer to wait a few hours if they’re experiencing temporary redness or sensitivity.
Does sun exposure affect Ultherapy results?
While sun exposure doesn't directly interfere with Ultherapy, continued UV damage can counteract the skin improvements by breaking down newly formed collagen. Patients who maintain good sun protection habits usually enjoy longer-lasting and more pronounced results.
Can you have Ultherapy if you've had previous cosmetic surgery?
Prior facelifts or other cosmetic surgeries don't automatically disqualify patients from Ultherapy, but the treatment may be less effective in areas with significant scar tissue or altered anatomy. Patients should wait at least 6-12 months after surgery before considering Ultherapy to allow complete healing and tissue stabilization.
Pre-Treatment Instructions
- Stop using all Retin A, Retinol, and Glycolic products 5 days before your treatment.
- Avoid all sun and tanning exposure 2 weeks leading up to and after a laser treatment or chemical peel.
- Patients should not be on any kind of antibiotic when receiving a laser treatment or chemical peel.
Post-Treatment Instructions
- There may be some physical or social downtime associated with your treatment. Post-treatment healing will vary from patient to patient. You will be advised of post-treatment protocols during your treatment, and it is important to adhere to these as closely as possible. Please let us know if you have any questions!
- Do not pick or peel any peeling or flaking skin. It must slough naturally to avoid damaging the lower layers of fresh skin.
- Do not use exfoliating products, washcloths, or a Clarisonic until you are completely healed.
- Post-treatment product information will be provided. Only use approved post-treatment products until you are completely healed.
