As we get older, our skin begins to sag. This can occur in several noticeable areas, like the neck, brows, chin, and more. But you don’t have to take this lying down!
Our Ultherapy procedure utilizes specialized ultrasound technology to induce new collagen production. This special protein rejuvenates the skin, leaving your face glowing. You’ll also see a significant reduction in wrinkles as well!

Ultherapy Before & After
How Ultherapy Works
When you meet with our team, they’ll use ultrasound imaging to see deep beneath the layers of the skin. This allows our practitioners to locate areas that need the most treatment. We’ll then use thermal technology to manually stimulate collagen and elastin production. This will smooth and lift your skin.
Thanks to this treatment, you can see pronounced results for years.

If you’re sick of fine lines, sagging skin, double chins, and wrinkles, then you might be an optimal candidate for Ultherapy. Ultherapy in Foxborough is especially beneficial for those who don’t want to undergo invasive surgery. You won’t have to deal with any injections or lasers. Instead, this FDA-approved method will work to stimulate collagen production for healthier, younger-looking skin.
However, it’s important to note that Ultherapy may not be effective for those with pronounced wrinkles and severe skin laxity. Pregnant women should also avoid this treatment. If you’re still unsure about Ultherapy, we can go over your concerns during our initial consultation.
Ultherapy is an effective method for naturally lifting facial features. But since this procedure utilizes natural techniques and biological processes, it may take a little while for you to see the results you’re looking for. However, you will see slow and steady improvements as the treatment takes effect.
Many patients wait around 3 months after their final Ultherapy treatment before they see significant tightening results in the neck, chin, brows, and décolletage. And while 3 months is an average waiting time, you may see results sooner or later. Every patient is different. Additionally, some patients may wish to schedule more than one Ultherapy treatment to see their desired results.
It’s important to keep in mind that Ultherapy is recommended for patients who are looking to avoid a surgical procedure. It will not provide the same results as a traditional facelift, though it will still provide noticeable results, like smoother skin and a smaller double chin.
Ultherapy is an FDA-approved, non-surgical facelift procedure. The fact that this treatment is non-invasive means you won’t have any downtime. But the ultrasound procedure may result in some short-term side effects. These include:
- Swelling
- Slight bruising
- Numbness
- Redness
- Tingling sensation
- Soreness
Pre- and Post-Care Instructions for Ultherapy in Foxborough
- 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.
