I want to tighten my skin and improve its health, but I can't have any downtime. Are there any options for me?

Yes! And it’s one of our new favorite treatments!

Meet Ultherapy®,the gold standard in non-surgical lifting and tightening. It uses focused ultrasound energy to target the deep foundational layers of your skin — specifically the SMAS (the same layer surgeons lift during a facelift) — without any incisions, needles, or downtime.

That gentle, precise heat stimulates your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, tightening and firming skin from within over the next several months. The result? Subtle lift, improved tone, and a smoother, more defined contour — all while your surface skin remains perfectly intact.

Many clients notice tightening along the jawline, under the chin, and neck — and some even see a lifted brow or smoother chest area. And because Ultherapy® leaves the surface untouched, you can head straight back to your normal day immediately afterward.

How it compares to Morpheus8

Many of you already love Morpheus8, and for good reason. Morpheus8 uses microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen remodeling in the dermis — the middle layer of the skin responsible for texture, tone, and elasticity. It’s fantastic for improving fine lines, crepiness, and pores.

The difference is in depth and purpose:

  • Morpheus8 targets the dermis — rebuilding collagen and improving skin quality and texture.
  • Ultherapy® reaches the SMAS layer — lifting and tightening the deeper structure that supports the skin

When combined, the two treatments are beautifully synergistic.Morpheus8 refines and smooths the surface and mid-layers, while Ultherapy® strengthens and lifts the foundation beneath. Together, they address skin laxity and quality from every angle — creating natural, long-lasting rejuvenation that still looks like you.

Why we love it

At Gilded Palm, our approach is always about understated, graceful enhancement — never overdone or obvious. Ultherapy® fits perfectly within that philosophy. It’s a quiet, confident treatment: no peeling, no bruising, just gradually tighter, healthier-looking skin that keeps improving with time.

If you’ve been considering ways to lift and firm without missing a beat from your daily life, Ultherapy® might be your next favorite treatment — and if you’ve already had success withMorpheus8, combining them can amplify your results in the most natural, elegant way possible.
