Ultherapy for lower face is the only FDA-cleared, non-surgical treatment option that to tighten and tone facial skin that gives a “jowly” appearance with age.

Specifically, Ultherapy Jowls Treatment uses micro-focused, ultrasound energy that has the ability to go deep into the SMAS skin tissue (the foundational layer cut by plastic surgeons).

Safe and gentle soundwaves are delivered strategically along the jawline, in order to spark renewal of collagen. As a result, Ulthera benefits, include:

• No downtime,
• Noninvasive, nonsurgical,
• Usually requires only a single one-hour treatment,
• Natural looking, long lasting skin tightening results for jowls.

Focusing on the lower face, Ultherapy works to tighten, firm, and subtly lift the skin along the jawline. This results in improved definition, softening the appearance of jowls, marionette lines, and loose skin beneath the chin, while restoring a smoother, more contoured profile.

With Ultherapy PRIME, the most advanced evolution of Ultherapy technology, treatments are more precise, comfortable, and customizable. Patients in New York City benefit from targeted energy delivery designed specifically for lower face rejuvenation and natural-looking lifting results.

Explore below to learn more about the benefits of Ultherapy PRIME, including how it compares to earlier Ultherapy systems and why it remains a leading option for non-invasive skin tightening.

Ultherapy PRIME is a non-invasive treatment that lifts and firms the lower face, including the jawline, jowls, and under-chin area, by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. Over time, this creates a more defined, youthful lower face contour without surgery or downtime.

This next-generation Ultherapy system offers enhanced precision and improved comfort compared with older devices. Using real-time ultrasound imaging, providers in Manhattan can target energy exactly where it’s needed—making it ideal for subtle lifting in delicate lower face areas.

Key advantages of Ultherapy PRIME for the lower face:

• Refines the jawline and reduces jowls for a smoother, lifted lower face

• Safe for all skin tones — no risk of pigmentation changes

• More comfortable than earlier systems, with predictable, natural-looking results

• FDA-cleared for nonsurgical lifting and tightening of the face and neck

At Smooth Synergy® MedSpa in Manhattan, NYC, our experienced team has been providing advanced, non-surgical skin tightening treatments since 2002. We are proud to offer Ultherapy PRIME for clients looking to restore lower face definition and achieve lasting, natural rejuvenation without surgery.

Collagen makes up about 35% of our body.

As we age, collagen production slows. With decreasing levels of both collagen and elastin, the underlying latticework of connective tissue weakens and is no longer able to support our skin at its deeper layers.

Additionally, the supportive facial musculature becomes thinner and fat deposits diminish.

It’s worth noting that one of the first signs of this aging process is a sagging and loosening of the lower face, as well as under the jawline and into the neck. 

As the collagen network and muscles weaken with age, our skin starts to sag and loosen.

To trigger the skin to produce more collagen, Ulthera uses ultrasound waves at precise depths and targeted areas on the cheeks, chin and jaw line.

As a result, this process boosts both collagen renewal, as well as the growth of fibroblast cells.

In turn, this rejuvenation process reinforces and strengthens the supportive networks of the face, in order to tone, smooth, and lift naturally from deep within the skin.

Ultherapy PRIME has the unique ability to micro target ultrasound energy.

This is particularly important for areas of the face, such as the jowls and lower face, because they typically require deeper and varied wavelengths, in order to achieve skin tightening results.

During treatment of the jowls, chin and jawline, ultrasound waves are delivered at three different depths, targeting the deepest areas first (the SMAS). then the dermis and, finally, the epidermis. 

Specifically, the practitioner will use a hand-held device on the Ultherapy machine to deliver the ultrasound energy where it’s needed most.

As a result, Ulthera will work to gradually and naturally lift the jowls and jawline.

Another Ultherapy PRIME advantage is its proprietary DeepSee technology. As the practitioner moves the hand-held device to different areas of the lower face, she is able to see deep within the skin on a monitor.

Essentially, DeepSee ultrasound technology allows for see and treat, real-time, on-screen visualization. As a result, adjustments can be made, based on:

• The area being treated on the jawline

• How much skin tightening and lifting is needed in the jowl treatment area

• Whether skin tightening and lifting is needed at the deeper layers of the skin, or a skin smoothing treatment is needed at a more superficial layer

By using the feedback from the image on-screen, she can provide accuracy, precision, and customization of the depth of the skin on the lower face being treated, in order to achieve natural looking skin tightening that are personalized for you.

In one study, the average amount of lift was 45.2 mm with significant skin lifting for 71.8% of patients.

These results prove that Ultherapy can effectively lift skin non-surgically and have significant advantages over skin-tightening surgery, such as a facelift.

Ultherapy results for jowls after treatment include:

• Improved skin elasticity along the jawline, restoring firmness and resilience to sagging lower face skin

• Smoother lines and wrinkles on the lower face, including marionette lines and nasolabial folds

• Tightened, lifted, and firmed jowls for a more youthful jawline contour

• Redefined jawline, enhancing lower face structure and profile definition

• Restored crisp lower face definition, creating a naturally sculpted and rejuvenated appearance

Only one Ultherapy treatment is usually needed to achieve desired results, with a treatment session typically taking about an hour.

Although some skin tightening is noticeable immediately, the true Ultherapy results develop over the next 3–6 months, as new collagen forms to naturally rejuvenate the skin.

Put simply, results are gradual and natural-looking, creating a subtly lifted and firmer lower face.

Ultherapy jowl results can last up to one year, and we typically recommend touch up treatments at the one year mark.

However, that said, how long Ultherapy lasts depends on the genetic predisposition to aging and lifestyle factors of the patient.

In a nutshell, Ultherapy lasts until you age more.

Additional Ultherapy PRIME treatments can be performed if a patient desires additional skin tightening benefits for the jowl area after six months.

Ultherapy treatment produces natural looking results that can last up to five years, depending on both individual aging and maintenance schedule.

We typically recommend repeating treatment at the one year mark. And treatments can be repeated after six months for even more skin tightening and lifting.

However, no anti-aging treatment has the ability to combat the natural aging process, which means that Ultherapy is not permanent.

Ultherapy’s collagen boosting benefit makes it a very versatile treatment at any age.

Not only will Ultherapy work to reverse skin laxity in the 40’s and 50’s, it can also be used earlier to stimulate collagen production and slow or prevent aging.

Many people ask if Ultherapy works into their 70s and the answer is yes. Truly, there is no hard and fast rule about what age you are no longer a good candidate for Ultherapy. That said, while it will reverse skin laxity, results are better on younger skin with mild to moderate skin laxity. In essence, younger skin doesn’t have the extent of natural aging as older skin.

To optimize Ultherapy’s preventative capabilities, we usually recommend combining it with other treatments such as Botox or Cosmetic Fillers, such as Juvederm or Restylane, for people in their 30’s.

Ultherapy risks, bad results and problems are less common than a cosmetic facelift. After a single, 60 – 90 minute treatment, patients are free to return to normal activity.

Immediately following treatment, patients typically only experience minor redness which lasts an hour or two.

Because it bypasses the surface of the skin, there’s usually no downtime and no scarring associated with treatment.

This is a place where the Ultherapy PRIME system shines compared to traditional Ultherapy. The system is designed for improved comfort, with reported pain scores less than half of older devices.

Pain is not generally reported as severe during Ultherapy skin tightening; however, each individual has a personal and individual tolerance to treatment. Generally, any discomfort dissipates quickly.

Our experienced and licensed technicians know how to make the procedure as pain-free and comfortable as possible.

Additionally, we offer Pro-Nox analgesic for patients concerned about pain. Most patients report that any mild discomfort experienced due to the heat of the Ultrasound energy is worth the benefit that Ultherapy treatment provides for the lower face and jowl area.

Any minor side effects from Ulthera for Jowls ultrasound treatment generally subside, as a part of the normal healing process. These may be alleviated with simple measures, such as Ibuprofen.

Patients typically only experience minor redness which lasts an hour or two. Additionally, it is normal to experience mild tenderness, bruising and swelling for up to a week.

The jowls, in particular, are susceptible to further, tingling, soreness, numbness and tenderness for up to two to three weeks.

Ultherapy PRIME is highly effective to smooth, lift, and tighten skin on the face, including the jowls, brow, and eye area, as well as on the neck and chest.

Ultherapy is also an excellent option for lifting and firming skin on the body, including the neck, chest, knees, and stomach, helping restore definition and a youthful appearance without surgery.

We offer consultations to determine if Ultherapy PRIME is the best treatment for you, or if one of our other cosmedical, non-surgical beauty treatments may be a better option to achieve your skin tightening and rejuvenation goals.

Ultherapy for Jowls is almost like a face lift without surgery, downtime, or scars.

Skin tightening surgery generally involves removing skin tissue with a scalpel to pull and reattach skin and muscle, in order to achieve tighter skin.

However, it cannot create elasticity from within the skin like Ultherapy does.

At Smooth Synergy® Manhattan, we believe that maintenance is the key to avoiding surgery, and we offer proven, effective non-surgical skin treatments to support your skin over time. Ultherapy PRIME is the standard of care to meet this goal.

How much Ultherapy PRIME for lower face costs in NYC depends on your desired treatment outcome, the treatment area, as well as how lax your skin is before treatment.
