What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a face-lifting technology using focused ultrasound energy to target the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer, the same layer addressed in surgical face lifts. This energy stimulates collagen production, tightening sagging skin and restoring firmness.
Key Feature of Ultherapy
Ultherapy is unique in that it has a real-time visualization system, allowing doctors to see facial structures and skin layers as they apply energy. This precise targeting increases the effectiveness and longevity of the lifting results.
To achieve optimal results, diagnosis and treatment must be performed with ultrasound guidance to accurately target the SMAS layer. This ensures precise and effective lifting for a youthful, natural look.
Why Choose Ultherapy at ATTA Clinic?
Each person’s facial structure is unique. Therefore, a personalized diagnosis and treatment plan are crucial. At ATTA Clinic, Ultherapy combines two types of ultrasound:
- Focused Ultrasound : Generates heat to stimulate the SMAS layer for skin tightening.
- Ultrasound Imaging : Provides real-time visualization of the SMAS layer, allowing for precise energy delivery.
Dr. Sroy’s expertise in ultrasound ensures targeted treatment to the specific SMAS layer, resulting in effective lifting with minimal discomfort and without unnecessary energy applications.
What is the SMAS Layer?
The SMAS layer is a critical tissue layer under the skin and fat, connecting to facial muscles and supporting skin firmness. By tightening the SMAS, Ultherapy provides a lifted, firm appearance.

Quick answers to questions you may have
Who is Ultherapy Suitable For?
Ultherapy is suitable for all ages and genders seeking non-surgical face lifting. It’s ideal for those with mild to moderate skin laxity. For severe sagging, surgical options may be better suited.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results are immediately visible (about 30% improvement) and continue to develop over 1-3 months. Collagen production extends over three phases, maintaining results for a year or longer, depending on individual skin structure.
Is Ultherapy Painful?
The procedure may cause mild discomfort, but Dr. Soi’s precise technique minimizes pain by avoiding unnecessary energy applications to muscles or bones.
Safety and Side Effects
Ultherapy is FDA-approved, making it a safe, non-invasive lifting option. Side effects are mild and temporary, with possible redness, swelling, or slight discomfort that subsides quickly.
Ultherapy and Other Treatments
Ultherapy can complement other aesthetic procedures. A 2-week interval is recommended to allow for recovery and optimal results. Suitable combinations include fillers, Botox, and skin treatments to enhance rejuvenation.
Ultherapy vs. Ultraformer Comparison
- Both use ultrasound energy and target the SMAS layer for lifting and collagen stimulation.
- Ultraformer has a smaller focal point, providing less intense lifting and lasting around 6 months, while Ultherapy offers deeper visualization with results lasting about a year.
