Experience physician-guided Ultherapy skin tightening in NYC at the Upper East Side practice of Dr. Marie V. Hayag, MD, a board-certified dermatologist. This FDA-cleared ultrasound skin lifting treatment stimulates collagen deep beneath the surface to improve laxity, refine the jawline, and support gradual, natural-looking tightening without surgery or extended downtime.
Because ultrasound energy targets deep structural layers, precise visualization and controlled energy delivery are essential to protect surrounding tissue and ensure appropriate lift depth.
For patients in Manhattan seeking non-surgical skin tightening with precision and safety, Ultherapy offers targeted collagen remodeling under expert medical supervision.
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten mild to moderate skin laxity without incisions, anesthesia, or surgical recovery. It is commonly selected by patients who want visible improvement but are not ready for a facelift.
Collagen production declines approximately 1% per year after age 20. Ultherapy works by triggering deep collagen remodeling in structural tissue layers, leading to progressive tightening over two to three months, with continued improvement beyond that timeframe.
Unlike surface-based treatments, Ultherapy uses real-time ultrasound imaging to visualize tissue layers. This allows accurate energy placement at precise depths, including the SMAS layer (superficial muscular aponeurotic system), which is also addressed in surgical lifting, while preserving surrounding tissue integrity.
At Marie Hayag MD, Ultherapy is performed under the supervision of a board-certified dermatologist certified by the American Board of Dermatology. While Ultherapy is non-invasive, precision matters.
Each patient undergoes a comprehensive facial and neck assessment evaluating skin laxity severity, facial structure and balance, collagen quality, areas of early sagging, and overall treatment suitability. This evaluation ensures appropriate energy settings, precise depth targeting, and safe patient selection under physician supervision.
Treatment plans are individualized to support natural lifting, jawline tightening, brow elevation, neck firming, and preservation of overall facial harmony. The objective is structural support enhancement without altering natural expression.
Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical skin tightening treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin.
Unlike radiofrequency or surface treatments, Ultherapy reaches structural foundational layers without disrupting the skin surface.
