Ultherapy — Ultrasound Lifting

Ultherapy is an FDA-approved, non-surgical ultrasound lifting system that tightens skin and stimulates collagen regeneration at the same depths targeted by surgical facelifts — without incisions or recovery time. At Petra Clinic the treatment uses the Ultherapy Prime system, which combines focused ultrasound energy delivery with real-time DeepSEE imaging, allowing the physician to visualise the treatment plane before firing. Sessions address the brow, lower face, neck, submental area and décolletage. The procedure takes 30–90 minutes depending on the area treated, and most clients return to normal activities immediately. Results build progressively as new collagen forms, with full effect visible over two to three months and effects lasting up to a year or more.

Ultherapy at Petra Clinic uses the FDA-cleared Ultherapy Prime platform — one of the few non-invasive technologies clinically validated to lift and tighten skin on the brow, face, neck and décolletage. Unlike radiofrequency devices that heat the superficial dermis, Ultherapy delivers micro-focused ultrasound to the SMAS layer (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) at precisely controlled depths of 1.5 mm, 3 mm and 4.5 mm, the same layer addressed during surgical facelifts. The Prime system includes DeepSEE real-time imaging so the physician can confirm correct tissue depth before each pulse, reducing variation and increasing safety. During the session you feel brief warmth and intermittent mild discomfort as energy is deposited beneath the skin; topical anaesthetic or over-the-counter analgesics may be taken beforehand. No injections or incisions are made. Immediately after treatment, skin may appear slightly flushed for a few hours. The cascade of collagen synthesis that follows takes two to three months to produce visible lifting, with optimum results at six months and effects that typically last twelve months or longer. Petra Clinic offers the full range of treatable zones: browlift (from 12,000 Kč), submental chin (15,000 Kč), neck (15,000 Kč), lower face (27,000 Kč), facelift (37,000 Kč), full face (45,000 Kč), and décolletage (16,000 Kč). A PLUS upgrade adds further energy passes for deeper stimulation at each zone. Ideal candidates are those in their thirties to sixties with mild-to-moderate skin laxity who are seeking alternatives to surgical procedures. One to two sessions per year is the typical maintenance schedule. Results are enhanced when combined with injectable treatments such as hyaluronic acid fillers or botulinum toxin, which the clinic offers in coordinated packages.
