Ultherapy® is a revolutionary non-invasive approach for lifting lax skin in various areas, including the neck, brow, and jawline. It uses ultrasonic energy to penetrate the dermis, triggering a heating effect in the deeper layers where collagen is produced.
Collagen is a vital protein in our skin that provides elasticity and structural support. As we age, natural collagen production decreases, leading to skin sagging and laxity. Ultherapy® heats and contracts the existing collagen to stimulate the body’s healing response—and the production of new collagen. The result? As the body’s healing mechanisms kick in, your skin gradually lifts and tightens simultaneously.
Results are visible after just one treatment. However, everyone is unique and can react differently to this procedure.
*The treatment outcome will vary for each individual. The results shown above are for illustrative purposes only.
Ultherapy® at Project Skin MD® Ottawa utilizes cutting-edge ultrasound technology to lift and tighten the skin. This innovative approach uses ultrasound waves to precisely penetrate the deeper structural layers of the skin, like the foundational tissue where collagen is produced, without compromising the skin’s surface.
Ultherapy® at our Ottawa clinic can safely and effectively treat the face, eyebrows, décolleté, neck, and chest. Depending on your desired outcome, as discussed during your personalized consultation, we can treat the entire face or target a specific area. For optimal results, we can also explore Ultherapy® with a combination of other medical cosmetic treatments, like dermal fillers, to restore volume loss while tightening.
We’ll work together to reach your desired outcomes, starting with a thorough assessment of your skin’s laxity and the specific areas for treatment.
We’ll cleanse and mark the targeted area to guide the precise delivery of your Ultherapy® treatment.
A layer of ultrasound gel is applied to the skin to ensure efficient transmission of ultrasound waves to the targeted tissue.
The Ulthera® DeepSEE technology allows us to visualize the deeper skin tissue for the accuracy and safety of the treatment. This examination helps avoid sensitive facial areas and ensures the energy reaches the appropriate skin depths.
The Ultherapy® device administers focused ultrasound waves to specific depths in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural production of new collagen. The treatment can take 30 to 90 minutes. The snapping sensation and intense heat can be uncomfortable for some, so we may advise that you take Tylenol or Advil beforehand.

The length of the treatment varies depending on the targeted area and your personalized plan. For example, while face and neck areas can take anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes, chest treatments usually take 30 minutes.
Drink lots of water in the days leading up to your treatment and avoid excessive alcohol and caffeine—hydrated skin responds the best to this procedure.
After treatment, you may experience mild tingling, swelling, or tenderness. You may also have a flushed appearance or slight bruising, which can be concealed with mineral makeup. These side effects are temporary and won’t impact your routine.
Yes. There is no downtime after Utherapy®, and you can resume all daily activities immediately.
While instant collagen contraction may be visible, most patients see optimal lifting after three to six months. These results generally last one to two years.
While not intolerable, Ultherapy® can feel uncomfortable when the device is applied because the heat and bursts of energy contribute to a snapping sensation.
