Ultherapy® uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver natural, long-lasting results on the face, neck, and décolletage. At GoAesthetic in Vienna, you’ll benefit from state-of-the-art DeepSEE® technology and the expertise of Dr. Peter Herndlhofer and his team.

Ultherapy® is an FDA-approved, noninvasive skin tightening treatment that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). The treatment stimulates natural collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin, resulting in a tighter face and neck without surgery. Results develop over a period of 2–5 months and typically last 1–2 years.
Ultherapy® is the only non-surgical treatment that reaches the same deep layers of the skin as a surgical facelift. Using the patented DeepSEE® ultrasound technology (real-time visualization), we can precisely direct the energy to the correct layer of tissue to achieve optimal results.
Areas of Treatment:
“More than 56 clinical studies and several international beauty awards attest to the effectiveness and safety of Ultherapy®. This is a major difference from other imitation systems, for which no such evidence exists.” – Dr. Peter Herndlhofer.
Ultherapy® uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to generate targeted temperatures of 60–70°C in the deep layers of the skin without damaging the skin’s surface. This precise heating of the tissue stimulates the formation of new collagen for natural skin tightening.
How does the scientific mechanism of action work?
The DeepSEE® Advantage at GoAesthetic:
Only the original Ultherapy® system features real-time ultrasound imaging. This allows the treatment depth to be viewed live and adjusted with precision during the procedure. As a result, the device offers a decisive advantage in terms of safety and effectiveness compared to other HIFU devices without imaging capabilities.
Ultherapy® is the only FDA-approved HIFU system that reaches the SMAS layer of connective tissue. This allows treatment at the same depth as surgical facelifts, but without any scars, incisions, or downtime. While other procedures only have a superficial effect, Ultherapy® penetrates up to 4.5 mm deep into the skin, thereby delivering genuine lifting effects rather than just temporary improvements on the skin’s surface.
Real-time ultrasound imaging allows for precise control of the treatment depth in real time and thus differs fundamentally from less expensive HIFU imitations that lack imaging capabilities.
And here’s an important side note: Among all HIFU technologies, Ultherapy® is the most extensively researched system worldwide, as no other comparable device has been supported by such comprehensive international studies.
You’ll see the full effect after just one Ultherapy® treatment, but you’ll need to be patient. That’s because the results don’t appear until 2–4 months later.
These before-and-after photos were also taken about 4 months after the single Ultherapy® treatment. For example, even just a few millimeters of skin tightening around the eyes can make your eyes look more alert. See for yourself.
We want to set aside enough time for you. That’s why we recommend: If you’re unsure whether you want to undergo an Ultherapy® treatment, book a consultation to discuss everything in detail. We charge a consultation fee of €70 for this. But here’s the good news: If you decide to undergo Ultherapy treatment in the future, we’ll credit you the full amount.
And if you’re interested in multiple treatments (Botox, fillers, microneedling, etc.) or are looking for a detailed medical consultation, please book a medical consultation with Dr. Herndlhofer instead. The medical consultation costs €200, and you can apply €50 of that toward any treatment you receive from us.
HIFU stands for “high-intensity focused ultrasound” and refers to the method. Ultherapy®, on the other hand, refers to the device we use at our clinic. And did you know: The Ultherapy® system is currently considered the gold standard for HIFU treatments—in part because its real-time visualization allows for precise, guided treatment. That’s why it’s no surprise that it’s the device with the most medical studies on its effectiveness. In contrast, there is absolutely no data—and no regulatory approval—for many other, less expensive HIFU devices. With Ultherapy®, you’re choosing medically proven effectiveness and safety.
The cost of an Ultherapy® treatment starts at €440. The price depends on the size of the facial area being treated. Cost transparency is important to us, which is why you can find all the exact costs here on our website.
Ultherapy® primarily tightens the connective tissue.As a result, sagging skin becomes firmer again and the face can look a little slimmer.However, reducing fat is not the actual aim of Ultherapy® treatment.If you want this effect, we can combine Ultherapy® with other treatments: For example, with radiofrequency microneedling to specifically reduce fat deposits. On the contrary, Profhilo® Structura is the only product that can stimulate fat cells through injections of high-concentration hyaluronic acid, thereby also reducing sagging cheeks.
In general, it’s recommended to repeat the treatment regularly—about every 12 to 18 months—to maintain the results. And depending on your initial assessment, combining this treatment with other collagen-stimulating procedures, such as microneedling, can help you achieve even better results. If you’d like to know more, we’d be happy to consult with you in person at our clinic.
