Ultherapy in Lone Tree, CO
Discover how Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to naturally stimulate your body’s own collagen production, creating gradual lifting and tightening of facial and neck skin. At Atagi Plastic Surgery & Skin Aesthetics, our experienced team provides personalized Ultherapy treatments to help you achieve natural-looking results without surgery or downtime.
Non-Surgical Facelifting and Skin Tightening
As we age, the deep structural layers of our skin begin to lose their support. Collagen production naturally decreases, and the foundational tissue that once kept skin firm and lifted starts to weaken. This process leads to sagging skin along the jawline, loose neck skin, drop of the brows and less defined neck and facial contours.
Ultherapy addresses these changes by delivering focused ultrasound energy to the same deep layers that plastic surgeons target during a surgical facelift. The ultrasound energy creates controlled micro-injuries in the tissue, triggering your body’s natural healing response and stimulating new collagen production. This process, called neocollagenesis, gradually lifts and tightens skin from within.
Unlike surface treatments, Ultherapy bypasses the skin’s surface entirely, working at depths of 1.5mm to 4.5mm beneath the skin to rebuild the foundational support structure. The result is natural-looking lifting and tightening that develops over three to six months as your body produces new collagen.
Who Benefits from Ultherapy?
Ultherapy works best for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who want to address early signs of aging without surgery. The treatment is particularly effective for patients in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who have some natural skin elasticity remaining. Younger patients may choose Ultherapy as a preventive measure to maintain skin firmness, while those with more advanced sagging might consider it as a complement to other treatments or as a maintenance option after surgical procedures.
You may be a good candidate if you notice:
- Loosening skin along the jawline
- Early jowl formation
- Neck skin that feels less firm than it once did
Your skin thickness, bone structure, and personal goals all influence how well you’ll respond to treatment. During your consultation, we evaluate your skin quality and discuss whether Ultherapy alone will meet your expectations or if combining it with other treatments would better serve your goals.

What to Expect During Treatment
Consultation
Treatment
Treatment typically takes 30 to 90 minutes depending on the areas being treated. Ultrasound gel is applied to your skin, and the Ultherapy device delivers focused energy to targeted depths. To help manage comfort, we may use topical numbing cream, vibration technology, and anti-inflammatory measures. Many patients describe brief moments of heating or tingling, with the jawline and temples sometimes feeling more sensitive than other areas.
Aftercare
Most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment, though some may experience temporary redness, welts, or mild swelling that resolves within a few hours.
Results
Lifting and tightening develops gradually over three to six months as your body produces new collagen, with the most significant improvements typically appearing around the three-month mark. Results can continue improving for up to six months post-treatment, and typically last one to two years, with many patients enjoying firmer skin for up to five years depending on their natural aging process. We recommend a touch-up treatment 3 to 6 months after your initial session to maintain and enhance results.

Ultherapy addresses mild to moderate skin laxity and works best for patients who aren't ready for surgery or want to maintain previous surgical results. For more advanced sagging, a surgical facelift may be more appropriate to achieve desired outcomes.
Maintenance frequency depends on age: patients in their 20s and 30s typically benefit from a treatment every 2 years, while those 40 and older often choose annual treatments. We also recommend a touch-up 3 to 6 months after your initial treatment to maintain and enhance results.
