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
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.
WHAT WE OFFER
Who Notices Ultra+ Makes a Difference
If any of these sound familiar, Ultra+ was built with exactly your concern in mind.
Sagging Jowls
Sagging Jowls
Gravity wins over time, and jowls are usually the first place it shows. Ultra+ works underneath the skin to rebuild the support structure that’s loosened, not just smooth the surface.
Loose Neck Skin
Loose Neck Skin
The neck often gives away age faster than the face does. Focused ultrasound reaches this deeper structural layer to tighten from below, which is a different job than any surface treatment can do.
Drooping Brows
Drooping Brows
A heavy, tired brow line can make you look exhausted even on a good day. Lifting from the deeper tissue underneath restores some of that lift without touching the surface skin at all.
Lost Jawline Definition
Lost Jawline Definition
A once-sharp jawline softening over the years is one of the more common reasons people book this treatment. The energy targets the exact structural layer responsible for that definition.
Overall Facial Laxity
Overall Facial Laxity
Skin that’s lost its snap everywhere, not just in one spot, benefits from a treatment that works across the whole structural layer rather than one isolated area.
Wanting to Get Ahead of It
Wanting to Get Ahead of It
Plenty of clients come in before things have sagged much at all, simply wanting to slow the process down. Starting early with Ultra+ is a completely reasonable strategy.
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.

Access through a trusted device partnership

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.
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.

- Skip blood thinning medications if your doctor says it's safe to do so
- Arrive with clean skin and no heavy makeup or products
After your appointment
- Expect mild redness or warmth for a few hours, this is completely normal
- Avoid intense heat, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 48 hours
- Stay hydrated to support your skin's natural repair process
- Give the collagen rebuilding process time, real change takes weeks to show

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.
Is Ultra+ as effective as 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.
Where can I get Ultra+ treatment near Collierville?
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.
Ultra+ vs Ultherapy, what's the difference?
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.
How many Ultra+ sessions are needed?
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.
Is Ultra+ safe for all skin types?
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.
What is the recovery time after Ultra+?
Recovery is minimal. Most clients experience mild redness or warmth for a few hours, then return to normal activities immediately without any real downtime.
Does Ultra+ hurt?
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.
How long do Ultra+ results last?
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.
Can Ultra+ replace a facelift?
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.
Can Ultra+ be combined with other treatments?
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.
