Key Takeaways
- Ultherapy and HA skin booster treatments are commonly used on targeted facial areas based on skin condition and treatment goals.
- The jawline and lower face are often treated for skin laxity and contour-related concerns.

- The under-eye region requires careful treatment planning because of thinner skin.
- Neck and chin areas are frequently included due to visible collagen and elasticity changes.
Introduction
Facial aesthetic treatments are usually planned according to specific skin concerns rather than applying one treatment across the entire face. Different facial regions respond differently to collagen loss, dehydration, sun exposure, and repeated facial movement. Due to this, practitioners often customise treatment plans around areas that show earlier or more visible signs of ageing.
Two commonly discussed treatments are Ultherapy procedures and Hyaluronic Acid (HA) skin booster treatments. Although they work differently, both are frequently used in areas where skin firmness, hydration, and texture changes become noticeable over time. Some patients undergo one treatment only, while others combine both depending on their treatment objectives. Several parts of the face are commonly prioritised because they are more prone to skin laxity, fine lines, or uneven texture.
1. Lower Face and Jawline
The lower face and jawline are among the most commonly treated areas for Ultherapy procedures. Skin laxity around the jawline can gradually affect facial definition, especially near the jowl area and lower cheeks. This region is also heavily affected by collagen loss as people age.
Energy-based procedures are often selected for the lower face because they target deeper structural layers beneath the skin. Treatment planning in this area usually focuses on contour definition and skin firmness rather than surface-level concerns alone.
Simultaneously, some patients receive an HA skin booster treatment around the lower face to address dryness and uneven skin texture. Since the jawline area is constantly moving through speaking and chewing, maintaining skin hydration can also become part of long-term skin maintenance plans.
2. Cheeks and Mid-Face Area
The cheeks are another commonly treated area because they influence overall facial appearance significantly. Volume reduction, dehydration, and uneven skin texture often become more noticeable in the mid-face region over time. This area is also exposed regularly to environmental factors such as sunlight and air pollution.
Many treatment plans involving HA skin booster procedures focus on the cheeks because hydration loss can affect skin smoothness and elasticity. Patients with rough texture or visible pores may also seek treatment in this region.
Meanwhile, Ultherapy procedures may be applied around the upper cheek area when mild skin sagging becomes visible. Since the cheeks contain relatively thicker skin compared to the under-eye region, treatment depth and energy levels can often be adjusted more flexibly according to individual skin condition.
3. Under-Eye and Upper Face Region
The under-eye area is one of the most delicate parts of the face. Thin skin, repeated facial movement, and reduced oil production contribute to concerns such as fine lines, dryness, and tired-looking eyes. Due to these factors, treatment planning around the eyes is usually more conservative.
Some practitioners may use HA skin booster treatments in this area to improve hydration and reduce the appearance of dehydrated skin. Injection placement and treatment intervals are typically planned carefully due to the thinner skin structure.
Ultherapy and laser procedures, in some cases, may also extend to the brow or upper-face region. Mild lifting around the brows is one reason why upper-face treatment areas are sometimes included in broader treatment plans.
4. Neck and Chin Area
Although slightly beyond the face itself, the neck and chin area are commonly treated together with facial procedures. Skin laxity below the chin and across the upper neck can become noticeable due to collagen reduction, posture habits, and sun exposure.
Ultherapy procedures are frequently selected for these areas because they target deeper tissue layers associated with skin firmness. Meanwhile, HA skin booster treatments may help improve skin hydration and texture across the neck region, where dryness is common.
Treating the neck together with the face is often considered because differences between facial skin and neck skin can become more visible over time.
Conclusion
The jawline, cheeks, under-eye area, and neck are among the most common treatment areas for both Ultherapy and HA skin booster procedures. These regions often show earlier signs of dehydration, reduced elasticity, and skin laxity due to ageing and environmental exposure. While both treatments work differently, they are frequently used to address separate concerns involving firmness, hydration, and skin texture. Careful assessment of facial anatomy and skin condition remains important when determining suitable treatment areas.
