What is body Ultherapy?
Body Ultherapy is a state-of-the-art non-invasive aesthetic treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound technology to firm the skin, reduce sagging, and stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin. This procedure works on the deep layers of the skin without the need for surgery, helping to tighten and reshape areas such as the abdomen, arms, knees, thighs, and décolleté.
Known as the "non-surgical body lift," body Ultherapy improves skin firmness and elasticity progressively and naturally, offering visible results without needles, scars, or recovery time. It is an ideal option for those looking to rejuvenate the body, combat loss of tone, and achieve firmer, more defined skin safely and effectively.
Medical evidence and support
Body Ultherapy applies the same FDA-approved HIFU technology as facial Ultherapy, adapted for moderate body sagging in selected patients. The Spanish Society of Aesthetic Medicine (SEME) recognizes body HIFU as one of the non-invasive treatments with the best balance between depth of action and duration of results. It is not indicated for significant fat reduction: for that, liposculpture is appropriate.
What does the body Ultherapy treatment consist of?
The treatment is carried out entirely in the medical office of the Instituto de Benito in Barcelona or Madrid, in an outpatient session always designed and supervised by a licensed aesthetic doctor. It consists of the following steps:
Personalized medical assessment:
Before the treatment, an assessment is conducted with the aesthetic doctor at the Instituto de Benito. They study your case, evaluate the area and indication, rule out contraindications, and design a personalized plan. The first aesthetic medical visit costs €50 (deductible from the first treatment).
Analysis with NESAI®
Diagnosis of hydration, dermal density, collagen, and firmness with 99.99% precision.
Preparation for treatment:
The skin should be clean, without creams, makeup, or sunscreen. The doctor reviews the area, adjusts the equipment parameters, and explains what you will feel during the session.
Application of treatment in consultation
A conductive or lubricant gel is applied depending on the equipment, and the doctor moves the head over the area maintaining the correct therapeutic parameters for the necessary time. The sensation is controlled and well tolerated.
Start looking how you want to feel:
The doctor provides home care instructions (gentle cleanser, reinforced hydration, and mandatory SPF50+ photoprotection) and plans the check-ups. In the case of intensive medical depigmenting treatment, the cream for the home protocol is also provided and reviewed weekly at the beginning.

Frequently asked questions about Body Ultherapy
Which areas can be treated with Body Ultherapy?
Postpartum abdomen, inner thighs, arms, buttocks, and inner knees. These are areas where moderate sagging usually appears and where body HIFU achieves a visible firming effect without surgery.
Which body areas respond best to the treatment?
The best candidates are individuals with mild to moderate sagging and good skin quality. The postpartum abdomen and the inner arms and thighs usually show a better response because they combine loss of skin tension with little residual fat.
How long does the result last?
The result usually lasts between 12 and 18 months, depending on skin quality, age, hormonal changes, weight, and lifestyle. Periodic maintenance is recommended to prolong the lifting effect.
When do you start to notice the result?
The lifting effect is progressive. The skin begins to tighten between the first weeks and 2 months, with continuous improvement up to 6 months thanks to the deep stimulation of collagen and elastin.
Is the result immediate?
A slight initial tension may be noticed after the session, but the true result appears gradually as the body generates new collagen.
How much does body Ultherapy cost?
Standard area: €1,170.
Large area: €1,950.
Available in Barcelona and Madrid locations.
How many areas can be treated in one session?
It depends on the available time, anatomical extension, and personalized guidelines. Usually, between one and several areas are treated in sessions of 60 to 120 minutes.
How long does a session last?
Between 60 and 120 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated and the body surface.
Is it painful?
An intense and pinpoint sensation is felt during each ultrasound shot, similar to facial treatment. The discomfort is tolerable and does not require medical leave. The patient can resume their usual activity immediately.
Does body Ultherapy eliminate fat?
It is not a treatment to eliminate large volumes of fat. Its main goal is to firm tissues and improve sagging. When there is significant fat excess, it is usually combined with liposculpture.
When to choose body Ultherapy over liposculpture?
- Body Ultherapy: indicated for moderate sagging without significant fat excess. It aims to firm the skin without surgery or recovery.
- Liposculpture: indicated when there is relevant localized fat and a more marked structural change is desired. It requires an approximate recovery of 7 to 14 days and the result is more definitive.
In many cases of postpartum abdomen, the combination of liposculpture (if there is excess fat) + maintenance Ultherapy offers the best overall result.
Does it work on postpartum abdomen with abdominal diastasis?
It improves skin sagging but does not correct abdominal diastasis (separation of the rectus muscles). If the diastasis is significant, the main indication is usually surgical (abdominoplasty or muscle repair). Ultherapy can be used later as an aesthetic complement.
Who is a good candidate for body Ultherapy?
Patients with mild or moderate sagging who wish to improve body firmness without surgery, scars, or recovery time. It does not replace body lift surgery when there is severe excess skin.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes. It is often combined with liposculpture, radiofrequency, collagen inducers, or body aesthetic medicine treatments to enhance and maintain the result.
How many sessions are needed?
In most cases, a single session per area is performed. Depending on the degree of sagging and progress, annual maintenance or additional sessions may be recommended.
Is there a recommended minimum or maximum age?
There is no exact age, but it is usually indicated from the first signs of body sagging, especially after pregnancies, weight loss, or hormonal changes. Individual medical assessment is essential.
