Skin Tightening — Ultherapy & Thermage FLX

Dr. Kong Med Spa is one of San Francisco's highest-volume Ultherapy providers, holding Ultra top-provider status. Ultherapy uses micro-focused ultrasound to lift and tighten skin at the deep structural SMAS layer. Promotional pricing starts at $2,500 for neck-only, $2,995 for the full face, and $3,495 for the full face and neck combined. Thermage FLX delivers radiofrequency energy across the face, eyelids, neck, and body to stimulate collagen remodelling in a single, no-downtime session.

Skin tightening at Dr. Sheena Kong Med Spa San Francisco combines two of the most clinically validated non-surgical lifting and firming technologies available: Ultherapy and Thermage FLX. Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared non-invasive treatment to lift the brow, chin, and neck and improve lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. It delivers precisely focused ultrasound energy to three distinct depths — 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm — triggering a collagen renewal response at the foundational SMAS layer of the face without disrupting the skin surface. Dr. Kong has achieved Ultra top-provider status for Ultherapy, a designation reserved for the highest-volume and most experienced practitioners. Treatment duration ranges from 30 minutes for targeted zones to two hours for a comprehensive face-and-neck protocol. Results emerge gradually as new collagen forms, with peak lifting visible at six months. The clinic offers transparent promotional pricing: Neck only at $2,500 (regular $3,125), Full Face at $2,995 (regular $4,375), and Full Face & Neck combined at $3,495 (regular $5,625). A single treatment is typically sufficient, with annual touch-up sessions recommended to maintain results. Thermage FLX employs monopolar radiofrequency energy delivered through a single-pass Total Tip applicator to heat the deep dermis and subdermal collagen network, stimulating immediate tightening and long-term collagen remodelling. A Blue Diamond award from Solta Medical recognises Dr. Kong's provider status across the Thermage platform. Treatment areas extend beyond the face to include eyelids, neck, chin, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and arms — making it a versatile single-session option for overall skin firming and mild laxity correction. Procedure time is 2–4 hours depending on the area, with no post-treatment downtime required. Patients typically experience progressive improvement over three to six months. Together, Ultherapy and Thermage FLX give patients seeking non-surgical skin tightening in San Francisco's Bay Area two distinct energy mechanisms, allowing Dr. Kong to tailor protocols to individual skin depth targets and laxity patterns.
