Ultrasound treatments
Ultrasound for lifting the face and neck and defining the jawline, on a Sonaxx device. The energy is delivered to the deeper layers without disturbing the surface — which makes this one of the treatments with no downtime afterwards.
Depth without the surface
What distinguishes ultrasound is that the work happens below the surface. The upper skin stays as it was, and the energy is delivered to the layers where the tension lives.
Two practical properties follow: there is no recovery period, and the treatment fits inside a full schedule. So does the limitation — there are cases where work on the surface is exactly what's needed, and then this isn't the method.
The jawline and the neck
Ultrasound is chosen here mainly for lifting the face and neck and for defining the jawline. These are areas where a little tension changes a great deal in appearance, which is why they are so often asked about.
It suits mild to moderate laxity. Significant laxity calls for an honest conversation about what is realistic — and if the method won't give you what you asked for, you'll hear that at the analysis.
Alone or in combination
The clinic also has fractional RF and plasma, so ultrasound doesn't have to stand alone. There are plans where it is the main thing, and plans where it is one of three.
The result accumulates over weeks and isn't fully visible the next day. That's a characteristic of treatments built gradually, not a shortcoming of this one.
Who it suits
- There is mild to moderate laxity in the face, neck or jawline
- You have no recovery time and need to return to your day immediately
- You want a gradual process built over several sessions
- Your skin is reactive, and work on the surface suits it less
When we talk first, and when I refer you to a doctor
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding and certain medical conditions affect suitability. Checked at the analysis, before anything is scheduled.
- Laxity originating in structure rather than in the skin is a doctor's field, and if that's the picture, I'll say so.
This page is a general explanation of the treatment, not personal advice. Suitability is established at the skin analysis and the conversation around it — and if this treatment isn't what your skin needs, you'll hear that from me.

Two treatments that both talk about tightening and work in entirely different ways. The difference in depth, in downtime and in the kind of slackness each suits — and what happens when they are combined.
