If you’ve noticed your skin looking a little less firm than it used to, you’re not imagining things. Collagen production slows with age, and gravity does the rest. The good news? You don’t need surgery to see meaningful improvement, and summer is actually a great time to do something about it. Ultherapy delivers real, lasting results with no downtime and no reason to put your summer plans on hold.
At Krauss Dermatology, we help patients in Wellesley Hills and the greater Boston area choose the approach that fits their skin, their goals, and their schedule.
Ultherapy: Lifting from the Inside Out
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to reach the deep structural layers of the skin, the same layers a surgeon would address during a facelift. That depth is what makes it different.
Rather than treating the surface, Ultherapy stimulates collagen production in the foundational support layer beneath it. Over the months following treatment, the skin gradually tightens and lifts from within. Most patients need just one session, and results continue to develop over three to six months.
Ultherapy works especially well for:
- Lifting loose skin on the brow, neck, and under the chin
- Addressing sagging along the jawline
- Patients who want a gradual, natural-looking improvement
- Anyone who prefers a single treatment over a series
Because results build slowly, Ultherapy appeals to patients who want improvement that looks like healthy aging rather than a sudden change. And because there’s no recovery period and no special sun precautions required afterward, it’s an ideal treatment to schedule during the summer months. You can walk out of the office and get on with your day.

Why Summer Is the Right Time
Convenience matters, and Ultherapy delivers on that front. Here’s what makes it the right choice for the warmer months:
- Single-session treatment that fits into a busy summer schedule
- Minimal downtime so you’re not sidelined during vacation season
- No sun restrictions after treatment, unlike laser-based options
- Results that develop gradually over three to six months, with no dramatic overnight change
For patients interested in laser-based skin tightening, we do offer those treatments at Krauss Dermatology. However, we recommend scheduling them in the fall, winter, or spring, when diligent sun protection is easier to maintain. Summer belongs to Ultherapy.
Pro-Nox: Making Your Treatment More Comfortable
Ultherapy can cause some discomfort during the procedure. For patients who want a more relaxed experience, Krauss Dermatology offers Pro-Nox, a patient-controlled nitrous oxide system available with the treatment.
Pro-Nox lets you inhale a blend of nitrous oxide and oxygen through a handheld device whenever you feel you need it. It works quickly, reduces anxiety and discomfort, and clears your system fast, so you stay in complete control throughout the entire treatment.
Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Treatments Consultations Available
Is Ultherapy Right for You?
The best treatment depends on your skin, your timeline, and what you’re hoping to address. Some patients are ideal Ultherapy candidates from the start, while others benefit from a combination approach over time. Factors your provider will consider include:
- The degree of laxity in the skin and where it’s most noticeable
- Whether lifting, tightening, or both are the primary goals
- Your overall skin health and treatment history
- How much downtime, if any, you’re willing to work around
The team at Krauss Dermatology brings extensive experience with Ultherapy and takes the time to build a plan tailored specifically to you. Contact us to schedule a consultation at our Wellesley Hills office and find out how Ultherapy can help you put your best face forward this summer and beyond.
