Ultra+ Non-Surgical Skin Lifting Collierville, TN | The Lift Without the Surgery

You’re not ready for a facelift, but you notice the jawline isn’t as sharp as it used to be. Ultra+ Collierville treatments use focused ultrasound to lift and tighten skin from deep within, working on the same structural layer surgeons address, without a single incision. Karen Cooksey, founder of Embrace Skin and Wellness, performs every session under the oversight of Dr. Krystle Holliday. Call (901) 457-7891 to book your consultation.

The Science Behind Ultra+ Reaching the SMAS Layer

The Science Behind Ultra+: Reaching the SMAS Layer

Here’s what actually makes this treatment different from a typical tightening facial. Ultra+ delivers focused ultrasound energy down to the SMAS layer, the same structural layer a surgeon lifts and tightens during an actual facelift. Most non-surgical treatments only work on the surface or just beneath it. This one goes deeper, using ultrasound energy to heat that specific layer and trigger your body’s own collagen production right where structural support has weakened. Because the energy is focused precisely at that depth, the surface skin stays completely undisturbed while the real work happens underneath. That’s the whole reason this treatment can mimic what surgery does, without any cutting involved.

The Embrace Difference for Ultra+ Treatment

Getting real structural change from ultrasound energy takes a provider who knows exactly how deep to go and where.

Karen Cooksey, who founded Embrace Skin and Wellness, personally brings years of hands-on treatment experience to every Ultra+ session.

 

Founder-level experience

Every treatment plan gets reviewed under the oversight of Dr. Krystle Holliday before your first appointment ever begins.

Our partnership with Aesthetic Management Partners, headquartered nearby in Cordova, connects us to advanced technology many clinics don’t offer.

Is Ultra+ Right for You

Ultra+ works best for people with mild to moderate sagging who want real structural improvement without going under the knife. If you’ve got significant excess skin that’s beyond what tightening alone can fix, we’ll be honest with you about that at your consultation rather than promising results this treatment can’t deliver. It’s also not the right fit if you have an active skin infection, open lesions, severe cystic acne in the treatment area, or metallic implants nearby. Most healthy adults with realistic expectations are excellent candidates.

Ultra+ Med Spa Collierville: How This Compares
to Ultherapy and Sofwave

Option Technology Best For Downtime
Ultra+ Focused ultrasound targeting the SMAS layer Mild to moderate laxity, non-surgical alternative None
Ultherapy Focused ultrasound, multiple depth settings Similar laxity concerns, widely known brand None
Sofwave Ultrasound targeting a shallower depth Milder texture and tone concerns None

Ultherapy is probably the name you’ve heard most in this category, and it works on the same basic principle as Ultra+, focused ultrasound reaching the SMAS layer. Sofwave, which is offered locally here in Memphis, targets a shallower depth and tends to suit milder concerns rather than deeper structural sagging. The real differences between these options usually come down to the specific device settings and the provider’s experience dialing them in for your skin, not one brand being universally better than another. We’ll walk you through exactly how Ultra+ fits your situation at your consultation.

What Ultra+ Results Actually Look Like

This isn’t a treatment that gives you a dramatically different face by the time you leave the office, and that’s actually the point. The improvement builds slowly and naturally as new collagen forms underneath the skin, which is exactly why the results end up looking like you, just firmer and more lifted, rather than obviously treated.

What Ultra Results Actually Look Like before and after

When Will You See Results From Ultra+

Patience genuinely matters with this one. Some initial tightening can show up within the first few weeks as the tissue responds to treatment, but the fuller structural improvement builds over about three months as new collagen forms. Once that collagen is in place, results tend to hold well, often lasting somewhere in the range of 12 to 18 months depending on your skin and how it ages. This is a gradual process by design, not a quick fix.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ultra+ used for?

Ultra+ treats sagging jowls, loose neck skin, drooping brows, and overall facial laxity using focused ultrasound energy that reaches the SMAS layer, the same structural tissue addressed during a surgical facelift.

Ultra+ works on the same structural layer surgery addresses, but the results are more gradual and typically less dramatic than surgery. It’s best suited for mild to moderate laxity, not significant excess skin.

Embrace Skin and Wellness offers Ultra+, serving clients from Germantown, Bartlett, Cordova, Olive Branch, and Southaven under physician-supervised medical oversight tailored to your skin.

Both use focused ultrasound to reach the SMAS layer with similar underlying technology. The real difference usually comes down to specific device settings and the provider’s experience calibrating them for your skin.

Most clients see meaningful results from a single session, since collagen continues rebuilding for months afterward. Some choose a follow-up session later to maintain or extend their results.

Yes, in most cases. We’ll ask about active infections, open lesions, severe cystic acne, and metallic implants near the treatment area before booking, since those situations need a different approach.

Recovery is minimal. Most clients experience mild redness or warmth for a few hours, then return to normal activities immediately without any real downtime.

Most clients describe a warm sensation during treatment rather than significant pain. Comfort varies by individual, and we walk you through what to expect before starting.

Results typically last 12 to 18 months, though this varies based on your skin and natural aging process. Many clients return for a follow-up session to maintain their results long term.

For mild to moderate sagging, Ultra+ can delay or reduce the need for surgery. For significant excess skin, surgery may still be the more effective option, and we’re upfront about that at your consultation.

Yes. Ultra+ pairs well with Agnes RF or Scarlet SRF for clients addressing both structural lifting and surface texture concerns in the same treatment plan.
