Lift and tighten your skin with the advanced ultrasound technology of Ultherapy treatments in Beverly Hills and Pasadena. At Leif Rogers, MD, we’re passionate about delivering powerful treatments to patients who want real results without invasive surgery.

Lifting the Skin Without Incisions

Many of our patients want the structural lift of a facelift, but aren’t ready to commit to surgery. At Leif Rogers, MD, we offer Ultherapy treatments to patients with early facial and neck laxity who want a non-surgical option that reaches deeper than typical skin-tightening devices.

What Is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to target the same structural tissue layers as surgical facelifts, stimulating collagen production at depths most non-surgical treatments cannot reach. This deeper reach allows for genuine lifting rather than surface tightening alone, resulting in long-lasting, natural-looking outcomes. While every patient has their own motivations for seeking Ultherapy treatments, all can expect the following benefits:

Non-surgical lifting of the brow, neck, and jawline
Collagen stimulation at a surgical tissue depth
No incisions, needles, or required downtime
Gradual, natural-looking improvement over time

Why Choose Leif Rogers, MD?

Ultherapy uses ultrasound imaging to visualize the exact tissue layer being treated, and interpreting that imaging correctly requires a highly trained, expert provider. Our team trains specifically in Ultherapy's imaging and energy delivery protocols to ensure targeted, customized treatments that work with your anatomy, not against it. Every treatment is guided by our founder, Dr. Leif Rogers’s, surgical understanding of facial structure and skin health. All of our non-surgical treatments are performed with the same level of precision and attention to detail as our surgical procedures. Here, our treatment plans are grounded in an accurate read of each patient’s anatomy, not a standardized approach applied regardless of individual facial structure.

What to Expect From Your Ultherapy Treatments in Beverly Hills and Pasadena

Seeing Beneath the Surface

Before treatment begins, your aesthetician will use Ultherapy's built-in ultrasound imaging to visualize the targeted tissue layer and begin planning your treatment. This imaging confirms that energy will be delivered precisely where it will stimulate the most meaningful collagen response for your specific concern.

Revitalizing Your Face and Neck

Ultherapy is most commonly used to address early to moderate laxity across the upper body, and can be used on the following treatment areas:

Forehead
Brow
Upper eyelid area
Jawline
Lower face
Neck
Underneath the chin
Chest
Décolletage

During your initial one-on-one consultation, your aesthetician will assess the laxity and quality of your skin to confirm that Ultherapy is right for you.

Calm and Comfortable

To begin your treatment, your aesthetician will apply ultrasound gel to your treatment area and use the imaging screen to map your treatment plan. Then, they’ll move the device in a controlled, systematic pattern to deliver focused ultrasound energy to the skin, often resulting in a brief warm or tingling sensation as the energy reaches the targeted depth. Sessions typically last 60-90 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.

Setting Your Treatment Schedule

Most patients complete one Ultherapy session per treatment area, since its deeper energy delivery is designed to stimulate significant, lasting collagen production in a single visit. Some patients choose an additional session after a year or more to achieve a more pronounced lift or to target emerging signs of laxity and aging.

Gentle, Patient-Centered Recovery

Recovery after Ultherapy in Beverly Hills and Pasadena involves mild redness or swelling immediately following treatment, which typically resolves within a few hours. Occasional tenderness or a tingling sensation in treated areas may persist for several days as your body begins its natural collagen response.

Most patients in Beverly Hills and Pasadena return to normal activities, including work, social gatherings, and exercise, the same day, with no visible signs of treatment for others to notice. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and prolonged sun exposure for at least 48 hours to give your skin time to settle.

Schedule a Consultation

Your Post-Treatment Process

After your Ultherapy session, our team will walk you through aftercare guidance to support your skin's natural rebuilding process. This plan may include the following:

Sun protection and exposure requirements
Hydration recommendations to support collagen production
Skincare ingredients to avoid
Side effects to monitor
Guidelines for scheduling any future maintenance sessions

Within a few weeks, you'll return to either our Beverly Hills or Pasadena practice for a follow-up visit with our team. There, your aesthetician will evaluate your skin's response and discuss whether an additional treatment would benefit your results.

A Gradual, Natural Lift

Because Ultherapy stimulates collagen production gradually, initial improvement often appears within two to three months, with full results developing over four to six months as new collagen fully matures. Many patients enjoy their results for a year or more before considering a maintenance session.

Ultherapy Frequently Asked Questions

How is Ultherapy different from EndyMed or Morpheus?

Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to reach deeper structural layers of tissue than the radiofrequency energy used by EndyMed or Morpheus. This allows Ultherapy to target more noticeable skin laxity and stimulate collagen production at depths associated with surgical lifting techniques.

Does Ultherapy hurt?

Most patients experience brief sensations of warmth, tingling, or mild discomfort as the ultrasound energy is delivered to the targeted tissue. Your aesthetician will take steps to maximize your comfort throughout the treatment.

Am I too young or too old for Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is most effective for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity, regardless of age. During your consultation, your aesthetician will evaluate your skin and determine whether Ultherapy or another treatment is the best option for your goals.

Will I need touch-up sessions after my initial Ultherapy treatment?

Many patients enjoy the benefits of Ultherapy for a year or longer before choosing to undergo another treatment. Because collagen production naturally declines with age, periodic maintenance sessions can help prolong your results.

Can Ultherapy be combined with injectables?

Yes. Ultherapy is frequently combined with injectables such as neuromodulators or dermal fillers to address both skin laxity and age-related volume loss. Your aesthetician will recommend the appropriate timing for combination treatments based on your personalized treatment plan.
