FAQ about treatment in Turkey
What is the best clinic for Ultherapy in Istanbul?

- Price range: Treatments in Istanbul typically range from $700.
- US savings: Patients save about 80% compared to the US average of $3,400.
Bookimed Expert Insight: While many centers in Nisantasi focus on aesthetics, Memorial Sisli Hospital provides a clinical safety net. It is a large facility with 252 beds and 13 operating rooms. A JCI-accredited hospital like Memorial often meets higher medical standards than smaller standalone boutiques.
Patient Consensus: Patients stress how important it is to confirm that a licensed physician performs the procedure. They advise asking for recent photos. They also suggest confirming exactly which facial zones the quoted price covers.
What is Ultherapy and is it available in Istanbul?
Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical treatment. It uses micro-focused ultrasound to lift skin on the face, neck, and chest. The procedure is widely available in Istanbul at JCI-accredited hospitals and specialized aesthetic centers. It offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional facelifts by targeting the deep SMAS tissue layer.
- Technology used: Focused ultrasound energy stimulates natural collagen production in deep structural skin layers.
- Typical duration: Procedures are done on an outpatient basis with 0 days of hospital stay.
- Price range: Treatments in Istanbul typically cost from $700.
- US savings: Patients save around 80% compared to the US average of $3,400.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Many clinics offer general HIFU treatments, but premier Istanbul facilities like Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital and Quartz Hospital provide authentic Ultherapy. For the best results, look for specialists like Dr. Nur Afsar who hold official Ulthera Academy certifications. High-volume clinics often bundle these sessions with text-based consultations to make sure the protocol matches your skin density.
Patient Consensus: Patients value the professional coordination and attentive care in Istanbul. Some note, however, that clearing language barriers makes the experience smoother. Most recommend confirming the specific device and the number of ultrasound shots included before starting the procedure.
How many sessions of Ultherapy do I need?
Most patients need only one Ultherapy session to get visible skin lifting and tightening. Some patients may notice immediate effects. But the full result takes 3 to 6 months as ultrasound energy stimulates new collagen. Doctors usually recommend touch-up treatments every 1–2 years to keep the results.
- Treatment frequency: A single session is enough for mild to moderate skin laxity and sagging.
- Age factor: Patients over 65 may benefit from a second session within 6 months.
- Result timeline: Initial lifting starts after about 4 weeks, and peak results appear at 6 months.
- Maintenance schedule: Yearly or every-other-year touch-ups help slow natural aging and collagen loss.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Data from Istanbul clinics like Memorial Bahçelievler and Quartz Hospital show that premium packages often combine face and neck treatments into one 90-minute session. Some US providers suggest multiple sessions. But Turkish specialists like Dr. Leyla Arvas focus on one high-intensity treatment. This maximizes collagen response and reduces the risk of facial fat loss.
Patient Consensus: Patients say the results are gradual and subtle, not instant. Many mention the procedure can be quite painful. That's why most people choose a single session.
How long does an Ultherapy session take in Istanbul?
An Ultherapy session in Istanbul generally takes 30 to 90 minutes depending on the targeted zones. A brow lift takes only 30 minutes. A full face and neck treatment in JCI-accredited clinics usually takes 60 to 90 minutes.
- Anesthesia preparation: Numbing cream adds 40 to 45 minutes of prep time.
- Ultherapy Prime protocol: The Ultherapy Prime protocol reduces active treatment time to about 40 to 50 minutes.
- Treatment areas: Face procedures average 45 to 60 minutes for most international patients.
- Hospital stay: This is an outpatient procedure with no hospital stay or required downtime.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Ultherapy is non-invasive. However, session duration often depends on the specific protocol, such as the 600-shot Ulthera Prime. Quartz Hospital treats over 6,500 patients a year. It offers expert consultations with Dr. Nur Afsar, who holds advanced Ulthera Academy certifications. This specialization means treatments are efficient without compromising the deep tissue tightening results patients expect.
Patient Consensus: Patients value the lack of downtime. They emphasize that the full lifting effect usually develops over 3 to 6 months. Some patients note that pain tolerance can affect session length. They may need more breaks during the ultrasound application.
