About Ultherapy™

Ultherapy is a non-surgical solution designed to combat the early signs of aging, particularly lax skin, due to the natural aging process and sun exposure. It effectively tightens and lifts sagging skin on the cheeks, lower face, and jaw, targeting deeper skin layers without disrupting the skin’s surface. This Health Canada-licensed procedure is uniquely tailored to lift skin in areas such as the neck, eyebrow area, under the chin, and décolletage while also reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

1. What is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy, also known as Ulthera, is a non-invasive and innovative treatment that employs ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin naturally while stimulating collagen production. This procedure is renowned as the Gold Standard and is both safe and time-tested, requiring no surgery and offering minimal downtime.

Ultherapy is an ideal treatment for those seeking to firm and tighten loose skin on the face, neck, and under the chin, as well as for individuals with lines and wrinkles on the chest. Additionally, it is an excellent choice for younger patients who want to maintain their collagen levels to avoid the need for future procedures.

4. How does Ultherapy work?

Ultherapy employs cutting-edge focused ultrasound technology to enhance skin appearance. This technique penetrates deep beneath the skin’s surface, targeting underlying muscles and stimulating collagen production, resulting in firmer and tighter skin. The treatment directs gentle heat deep under the skin, lifting and tightening without any surface disruption. Furthermore, Ultherapy encourages the creation of new collagen, aiding in the maintenance of youthful skin.

5. How is Ultherapy performed?

During the procedure, a handheld device is used to deliver ultrasound waves to the subcutaneous tissue, the innermost layers of the skin. This creates thousands of tiny attachment points beneath the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, promoting tissue regeneration. Ultherapy can reach depths of 1.5 mm, 3 mm, or 4.5 mm, depending on the patient’s goals, making it effective for smoothing and firming the face, neck, and décolleté.

6. How long does Ultherapy treatment take?

Ultherapy treatment typically takes between thirty minutes to an hour.

7. What is recovery like after Ultherapy?

Recovery after Ultherapy is relatively minimal and painless. Patients may experience temporary flushing or slight redness during and after the treatment, which usually fades within a few hours. In some cases, there may be mild swelling, tingling, or tenderness to the touch, but these symptoms are manageable and generally resolve quickly.

8. How soon will I see results?

Ultherapy results are not immediate and may take several weeks or even months to become fully visible. While some initial results, such as subtle lifting and tightening, may be noticeable immediately, the final and full results will become evident after approximately three months as new collagen improves skin tone and elasticity.

9. How long do results last?

Ultherapy can last indefinitely with proper maintenance and follow-up appointments. It is recommended to undergo Ultherapy once a year as part of a regular skincare routine to enjoy long-lasting and consistent results.
