Lift & Tighten Skin With Ultherapy® in Brookline
Sagging, loose skin is a common sign of aging, but surgery isn’t the only option. Ultherapy® in Brookline is a non-invasive skin-tightening treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to stimulate natural collagen production and improve the appearance of loose skin, fine lines, and wrinkles.
At Dream Spa Medical, Ultherapy® can treat areas including the brow, chin, neck, jawline, and décolletage. The treatment is FDA-cleared for certain skin-lifting indications and requires no incisions or lengthy surgical recovery.
How Ultherapy® Works
Ultherapy uses micro-focused ultrasound energy and real-time ultrasound imaging to target specific tissue layers beneath the skin. Controlled thermal effects stimulate the body’s natural collagen-building response. As collagen remodels over time, treated areas may appear firmer, smoother, and more lifted.

Ultherapy Before & After
What to Expect From Ultherapy® in Brookline
Ultherapy is a non-invasive treatment with no surgical incisions and minimal downtime. Your provider will use ultrasound imaging to determine the appropriate treatment areas and deliver focused energy at targeted depths.
Because collagen production happens gradually, Ultherapy results develop over time and are designed to create a natural-looking improvement. Results and longevity vary depending on factors such as age, skin condition, and individual collagen production.

Ultherapy is FDA-approved for non-surgical, non-invasive skin lifting. Because it doesn’t disrupt skin tissue, there’s zero downtime! However, the ultrasound process may cause some temporary, mild side effects, including:
- Swelling
- Redness
- Soreness
- Slight bruising
- Numbness
- Tingling sensation
Ultherapy boosts your body’s collagen and elastin production in the treatment areas for noticeable and natural-looking results. Because your body’s built-in processes are doing the lifting, it will take some time for the best results to show. During this time, you will see gradual improvements continue.
Most patients see the best lifting and tightening on the neck, chin, brows, and décolletage approximately 3 months after their last Ultherapy treatment. Each patient is different, so the amount of time may be slightly shorter or longer. Also, depending on the treatment areas and goals, you may need 2 Ultherapy treatments to achieve the results you want.
Ultherapy can’t duplicate the results of a facelift. However, for those who don’t want surgery, it provides terrific lifting results for smoother skin, a reduced appearance of a double chin, restored volume, and an overall youthful enhancement.
The best candidates for Ultherapy want to address mild skin laxity, the appearance of a double chin, and/or reduce fine lines and wrinkles—without undergoing surgery, injections, or lasers. This FDA-approved ultrasound treatment creates great improvements that can make you look more youthful, even as it promotes skin health with improved collagen production.
You may not be a good candidate if you’re pregnant, have pronounced/heavy skin laxity, or have deep lines and wrinkles. During your Dream Spa Medical consultation, we’ll discuss all the details and ensure you receive the best treatment for your unique situation.
Pre- and Post-Care Instructions for Ultherapy in Brookline
- Women who are pregnant should not receive Ultherapy. If you are nursing and would like to pursue treatment, we ask that you consult your PCP for clearance.
- It is not mandatory to avoid sun exposure prior to your treatment. It is advised to be mindful of your sun exposure, as we do not want to treat overly compromised skin. We suggest always using a physical protectant SPF (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) and reapply throughout the day. We strongly recommend ISDIN Eryfotona Actinica and the ISDIN Mineral Brush for reapplying throughout the day.
- Please discontinue the use of all blood-thinning medications. This includes prescription medication that is indicated to thin the blood (please check with your physician prior to discontinuing any prescribed blood-thinning medication). We advise you to consider discontinuing Ibuprofen and fish oil 5 days prior to your procedure. This is not mandatory to perform the Ultherapy treatment, but it can lessen your risk of bruising.
- We suggest having your neuromodulator treatments performed either 2 weeks prior or 2 weeks after your Ultherapy procedure.
- Your provider will make a thorough plan with you as to what your rejuvenation journey will look like with Dream Spa Medical, keeping in mind that it is best to avoid Ultherapy treatments for at least 2 months after dermal filler injections.
- It is best for our female patients to schedule outside of their monthly cycle to avoid increased discomfort.
- We offer ProNox, a pain and anxiety coping treatment. Your provider can discuss further options with you if you require a more intensive pain reducing product.
- We advise taking 800mg of Tylenol 30 minutes prior to your appointment. We recommend avoiding anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen for at least 2 weeks after your treatment. NSAIDs of any kind increase the likelihood of bruising and interfere with the collagen stimulating process.
- You may consider Arnica tablet supplements 5 days prior to your appointment, to help reduce the possibility of prolonged bruising.
- We ask that if you are currently taking oral antibiotics or steroids, you stop taking the medication for 10 days prior to your appointment. If you have an upcoming appointment scheduled, we will be happy to reschedule.
- If you are currently taking or have taken Isotretinoin or any Accutane-type medications, we advise waiting at least 6 months before pursuing any cosmetic treatments.
- We always suggest hydrating as much as possible prior to any treatment at Dream Spa Medical. It is a great way to help your body to function at its best and will help to accelerate your healing time as well as enhance results.
- You can expect mild to moderate redness and a possible hive- or welting-like appearance on the skin. This should subside within 48 hours. Cool compresses may be applied to soothe the skin.
- Mild to moderate swelling can be expected. You can expect the swelling to subside within a week to 10 days.
- Tenderness to touch, tingling, and numbness are normal. This typically subsides in 3 to 4 weeks.
- Bruising is always a possibility. You may consider taking an Arnica oral supplement for 5 to 7 days post-treatment.
- If your forehead was treated, you may have a mild headache, stinging, or a hair-pulling sensation in your scalp following the treatment. When this occurs, it usually lasts less than 24 hours, but on rare occasions can continue to be sporadically bothersome for up to a week.
- You may immediately apply makeup following the treatment, and there are no post-procedure limitations on physical activity.
There are 2 phases of correction after Ultherapy. The first is collagen contracture, which is literally occurring as we perform the procedure. As a result, many patients will appreciate a subtle but distinct improvement in their appearance within a few days following the treatment. Ultimately, the more impressive correction is from collagen stimulation.
Your body responds to the controlled pinpoint thermal injuries placed in the deep tissue by creating new collagen fibers. Collagen fiber formation can take several months, so the final results from Ultherapy may take up to 6 months.
