Ultherapy Melbourne – non-surgical facelifting treatment.
Located in Armadale, Melbourne, Aesthetica Image Centre offers Ultherapy — a non-surgical facelift treatment for the face, neck and décolletage.
Ultherapy is a non-surgical treatment that can be performed as a single session for individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity or early ageing changes.

What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a single non-surgical treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to target multiple depths of the skin, down to deeper structural layers, and support collagen production.
It is a TGA-approved treatment and may be used on areas such as the brow, lower face, neck and décolletage.
Ultherapy may support gradual tightening and lifting without surgery or downtime.
Ultherapy is not a replacement for facelift surgery.
Treatment options may range from RF skin tightening for early changes, to Ultherapy for deeper support, through to thread lift or facelift surgery for selected patients with more noticeable tissue laxity.
There are numerous treatments for skin care and rejuvenation. All work at various depths.
The following is an indication of the treatment depth.
Please remember that devices and operator experience can play a factor in these depths and results.
How Ultherapy works
- Targets the SMAS and dermal layers — the same areas addressed in facelift surgery.
- Uses precisely controlled ultrasound energy for deep collagen stimulation.
- Encourages gradual, natural lifting and tightening over several months.
Benefits of Ultherapy
- Non-surgical and non-invasive
- No required downtime
- Gradual, natural-looking improvement
- May be used on the face, jawline and neck
- Supports collagen production over time.
Is Ultherapy Safe?
Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy, which has a long history of use in medical imaging. As a TGA-approved medical device, it is widely used in aesthetic medicine.
During your consultation, your clinician will assess your suitability and discuss potential side effects, which may include temporary redness or tenderness
Where Ultherapy Fits in Your Treatment Journey
Ultherapy occupies a specific place in facial rejuvenation — it imay not be the first step, and it is not the last.
For very early skin changes, radiofrequency skin tightening treatments such as Viora V-ST may be a good starting point, supporting skin quality and gradual firmness over a series of sessions.
Ultherapy is generally considered when those early changes have progressed — when there is mild to moderate skin laxity, early softening around the jawline or neck, or when a patient wants to address deeper tissue support without undergoing surgery. Because Ultherapy targets the same structural layers addressed in facelift surgery, it is a meaningful step up from surface-level skin treatments.
Where laxity is more advanced — particularly if jowling is present or non-surgical treatments have reached their limit — facelift surgery may be a more appropriate discussion. A thread lift may also be considered in selected cases as a minimally invasive intermediate option.
Understanding where you sit in this journey is something we assess carefully at consultation. Ultherapy is not suitable for everyone, and we will always recommend the option most likely to meet your goals.

For more advanced skin laxity or tissue descent, facelift surgery may be a more appropriate option following consultation.
