Men commonly experience sagging skin, jawline heaviness, early jowls, and neck laxity due to aging, lifestyle, and sun exposure. These changes gradually soften the masculine facial structure, making the face look older or tired.
Ulthera (the original FDA-approved HIFU device) is one of the most effective non-surgical lifting treatments for men. It targets deep facial layers — including the SMAS, the same layer tightened in surgical facelifts — to lift, tighten, and redefine the jawline without downtime.
Bangkok is a top destination for Ulthera because of its authentic devices, skilled practitioners, and natural masculine outcomes.
This guide explains how Ulthera works, who it’s suitable for, and what men can expect before and after treatment.
What Is Ulthera?
Ulthera is a High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) system that delivers precise thermal energy into deep tissues, triggering lifting and collagen regeneration without surgery.
How Ulthera works:
Delivers micro-focused ultrasound at controlled depths (1.5mm, 3mm, 4.5mm)
Stimulates new collagen production
Tightens skin and lifts deeper tissues
Improves firmness over 8–12 weeks
Ulthera remains the gold standard for non-invasive lifting.
What Areas Can Ulthera Treat?
Ulthera is effective on multiple facial and neck zones, including:
Jawline & jowls
Chin
Neck
Cheeks
Brow area
Under-eye fine lines
Nasolabial folds
Its lifting effect is especially strong on jawline and lower face contour, areas that matter most for masculine aesthetics.
Who Is Ulthera Ideal For?
Ulthera is best for men who:
Want visible lifting without surgery
Have mild to moderate sagging
Struggle with jawline softness or early jowls
Prefer long-lasting skin tightening
Want subtle, natural rejuvenation
Have thick male skin that responds well to ultrasound energy
Not suitable for:
Severe sagging requiring surgical facelift
Active skin infections
Excessive neck fat (may need fat reduction first)
