Ultherapy is a nonsurgical high-intensity micro focused ultrasound technology used to kick-start collagen production and tighten skin. The ultrasound energy is designed in a way that it won’t only stimulate collagen and elastic tissue but also ensures that the skin looks firmer and less saggy. Approved by the FDA, it is the state-of-the-art technology in medical terms, a non-invasive facelift, which will give you results in just one session leaving you tension-free for the next whole year. This is why it is a popular anti-aging treatment in Delhi.
Ultherapy is a non-ablative treatment which means it involves no cuts or injections. It is solely done with the help of some serums and modern ultrasound technology.
The aesthetician will cleanse the area they plan to work on, to get rid of any oil or residue and apply an ultrasound gel. Ultrasound energy is then delivered to the targeted areas. You may experience fluctuating feelings of heat and tingling during treatment. Numbing cream is applied before session to make it more comfortable.
It delivers the heat energy using the right temperature to support collagen regeneration in the areas beneath the skin (muscle, skin, and superficial wrinkles) and subcutaneous tissue that stimulate collagen. Therefore, improving the surface and reducing sagging. This technique is applicable to the face as well as the whole body, and also, it works equally efficiently on every skin tone.
The procedure lasts up to 90 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
Preparing for Ultherapy
No special preparation is needed for the procedure. You can eat, drink and exercise, work just like your regular routine and even resume it immediately after the procedure.
We advise you to remove makeup and put a pause to using any skincare products from the target area prior to treatment and few days after the treatment as advised by your doctor.
It’s usually done on the face and neck. Other lesser known target areas include:
Under eye
Under the chin
Décolletage (chest area)
Custom treatment plans should be discussed with your doctor during the consultation.
Right Candidate
Anyone who has sagging skin and needs lifting and tightening can opt for this treatment. Ultherapy is suitable for all skin types with very minimal pre-care requirements or restrictions.
Downtime and Post-Treatment care
There is usually no downtime after the Ultherapy treatment. You can resume work, exercise, or socializing soon after the treatment as directed by your doctor.
You may start noticing the results of Ultherapy a few days after the treatment, it also depends on your body’s ability to produce new collagen. The results will last 9 months to 1 year. To know the Ultherapy Cost in Delhi please feel free to get in touch with us!

Ultherapy Treatment in Delhi – FDA-Approved Non-Surgical Skin Lifting & Tightening with Micro-Focused Ultrasound at Dadu Medical Centre
Sagging skin is one of the most common and visible signs of facial ageing, and for most people it shows up first along the jawline, under the chin, on the neck, and around the brow area. The skin that was once firm and well-supported begins to loosen and descend because the collagen and elastic tissue underneath it gradually reduces and weakens with age. At the same time, the SMAS layer, the deeper tissue layer of the face that surgical facelifts target also loses its tone, pulling the skin downward in a way that no topical product or surface treatment can reverse. For many years, surgery was the only option that could meaningfully address this level of facial laxity. That changed when Ultherapy was developed and cleared by the FDA making it the only non-invasive, non-surgical facelift treatment in Delhi and worldwide that is clinically proven to reach and stimulate the same deep tissue layers of the face that a surgical facelift targets, without any cuts, needles, or recovery time. At Dadu Medical Centre, one of the most advanced skin clinics in Delhi, Ultherapy is offered as a state-of-the-art skin lifting and tightening treatment under the supervision of Dr. Nivedita Dadu, one of the most experienced and trusted doctors in Delhi in the field of cosmetic dermatology.
Understanding what makes Ultherapy different starts with understanding the technology it uses. Ultherapy works using High-Intensity Micro-Focused Ultrasound energy, a very precise, concentrated form of ultrasound that is delivered to highly specific depths below the skin's surface using a handheld device. The word "micro-focused" is important here. The energy is not scattered across the skin broadly, it is focused into tiny thermal coagulation points at very precise depths. Because the energy passes through the outer layers of the skin without affecting them and only converges and creates heat at the targeted depth, the skin's surface stays completely undisturbed throughout the procedure. There are no burns, no marks, and no visible signs that anything has been done to the surface of the skin at all.
The depths at which Ultherapy delivers its energy are clinically significant. The treatment can reach the foundational layers of the skin at 1.5mm, 3mm, and 4.5mm depths, and at the deepest setting, it reaches the SMAS layer the Superficial Musculo Aponeurotic System which is the same fibromuscular layer that plastic surgeons tighten during a surgical facelift. When the focused ultrasound energy reaches these deep tissue zones, the concentrated heat it creates stimulates the body's own wound-healing response in those micro-treatment zones. This healing response is what triggers the production of new collagen and the remodeling of the existing elastic tissue in the treated area. As new collagen forms at these deep levels over the weeks and months that follow the procedure, the skin and underlying tissue become progressively firmer, more toned, and more lifted in a way that looks completely natural because it is driven entirely by the body's own biology.
Before the treatment begins at the clinic in Delhi, a topical numbing cream is applied to the face to ensure the session is as comfortable as possible. The aesthetician then cleanses the treatment area and applies an ultrasound gel similar to what is used in medical ultrasound imaging which helps the device make consistent contact with the skin and allows the energy to be delivered accurately. The Ultherapy device actually has an imaging function built into it, which means the practitioner can see the layers of the skin on a screen and confirm that the energy is being delivered to exactly the right depth before each pulse is activated. This real-time visualization is one of the features that makes Ultherapy uniquely precise compared to other skin tightening technologies. During the procedure, patients may experience brief moments of warmth and tingling as the energy is delivered. This is a normal and expected sensation that indicates the collagen stimulation is occurring at the right level.
The procedure typically takes around 90 minutes depending on the number of areas being treated. There is no downtime after Ultherapy. You can return to work, exercise, or social plans immediately after the session without any visible signs that you have had a procedure done. No special preparation is needed beforehand either. You can eat, drink, and maintain your regular daily routine right up to and immediately after the appointment. Some people notice early improvements in skin firmness and lifting within a few days of the treatment, though the full and most significant results develop gradually over the months that follow as new collagen continues to build. Results typically last between nine months and one year. Custom treatment plans and area-specific recommendations are discussed during the consultation.
