Crepey, loosened skin on the stomach after children or weight loss is a use Ultherapy is FDA-cleared in the US for: skin laxity on the abdomen, cleared in February 2025 with the arms. The clinician runs lines of focused ultrasound under the skin of the abdomen at the depths chosen from the image, and the heat builds new collagen over three to six months so the skin tightens. One session, with the price in writing at a free consultation at Ultherapy London, 130 Harley Street.
What it does on the abdomen
Skin that has loosened but still has elasticity tightens. An apron of skin after a large weight loss, separated muscles or a layer of fat need a different plan, which the clinician sets out at the free consultation. Loss of fat has been reported rarely in the published face studies, so the depth is chosen per zone with the image.
What the evidence covers
The 2025 clearance rests on a review of published studies: three on the abdomen with 54 people, which showed clinically significant improvement up to six months after treatment, with no unexpected or severe side effects. The full guide sets out the face and neck studies.
The session and the result
About 45 to 60 minutes for the abdomen, with a comfort plan agreed beforehand; redness for a few hours, swelling for a day or three, tenderness for up to two weeks. The result builds over three to six months, when we photograph it, and holds for around a year in our experience.
Price and booking
The abdomen is priced per area, in writing at your free consultation, with a price match on any comparable written quote and interest-free finance through Humm, subject to status. Call Ultherapy London on 0207 043 8109 or use the form below; the full Ultherapy guide covers the rest.
