Ulthera Lift in Houston & River Oaks, TX

Ulthera is the only nonsurgical treatment approved by the FDA to utilize ultrasound technology to precisely reach the deep layers of facial tissue. Each burst of ultrasound energy triggers the body’s natural collagen production, plumping and smoothing the skin. Ulthera provides an effective, noninvasive way to lift and tighten skin along the eyebrows, neck, and chin.

Once the treatment area has been determined, and the patient is comfortably positioned, the esthetician will begin the Ulthera treatment. She will gently glide the small, Ulthera handpiece over the targeted tissue, providing quick bursts of ultrasound energy. This will continue until the area is complete.

Ulthera is not considered a painful procedure. However, a mild burning or tingling sensation is common during each burst of ultrasound energy. To keep patients comfortable during their Ulthera treatment, a topical or local anesthetic can be applied.

All Ulthera treatments are performed in one of Mirror Mirror Beauty Boutique’s luxurious treatment rooms. Our Houston office is located at the corner of Richmond Avenue and Drexel Street. Private, covered parking is available for all of our patients.

Anyone who is in generally good health, and looking to improve the signs of early aging, may make an excellent Ulthera candidate. The ideal patient will have a clear understanding of the Ulthera process and hold reasonable expectations for their results.

Depending on the area being treated, and the extent of correction, an Ulthera treatment will take between 30 and 60 minutes to perform.

Patients will notice an immediate improvement in the tightness and texture of their skin, after the first Ulthera treatment. As the ultrasound energy encourages the body’s own collagen supply, the results from Ulthera will continue to improve over the following three to four months.

Yes! Ozempic and other glucagon-like peptides (GLP-1) can lead to quick weight loss, which sometimes causes the skin on your face to sag. Ultherapy is a noninvasive treatment that uses ultrasound technology to tighten and lift your skin, helping you achieve a more youthful look without surgery.

Absolutely. Ozempic and other glucagon-like peptides (GLP-1) may reduce collagen in your facial skin, affecting its elasticity and firmness. Ultherapy works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, which helps keep your skin firm and elastic, counteracting the effects of collagen loss.

Many medical professionals do suggest Ultherapy as a solution for “Ozempic face,” a term used to describe facial sagging after taking Ozempic. Since Ultherapy is a non-invasive procedure that tightens and lifts the skin, it can be an effective option to improve your facial appearance without the need for surgery. At Mirror Mirror Beauty Boutique, we offer Ultherapy to treat what is sometimes called as “Ozempic face.”

Most patients require only one Ulthera treatment. Depending on the individual’s skin condition and laxity, a second session may be needed, to reach the desired results. An annual touchup treatment is then encouraged to extend the results of treatment.

An Ulthera treatment does not require any downtime. Immediately after the procedure, patients are free to return to their daily activities, such as school or work. There are no restrictions on exercise or heavy lifting; these can also be resumed after treatment. If any redness, bruising, or tenderness occurs, it is usually mild, and will dissipate over the following two to three days.

As there is no downtime after an Ulthera treatment, patients are normally feeling well enough to return to work or school immediately after their procedure.

Ulthera is a safe, FDA approved treatment. Using ultrasound waves, Ulthera is completely safe for the healthy surrounding tissue. Patients may see some slight redness for the first few hours after treatment. Tingling, tenderness, and swelling are common but are generally mild. Bruising and temporary numbness may occur, although these are more rare.

Ultherapy and Morpheus8 differ primarily in their technology and treatment focus. Ultherapy uses ultrasound for deep skin layer collagen stimulation, focusing on facial lifting and tightening with minimal downtime. Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency for broader skin rejuvenation, including fine lines and wrinkles, and is minimally invasive with a short recovery period.

The price for an Ulthera session will vary according to the area and extent of treatment. In general, Ulthera will range from $750-$4,000. During the Ulthera consultation, the exact price of your treatment will be determined.
