Designed to firm and lift lax skin, Ultherapy® is a non-invasive treatment that helps tighten skin on the face, brows, jawline and neck. Using ultrasound technology to target the skin dermis layer, Ultherapy® heats the deep layers of skin where collagen is produced. The heating and contracting of existing collagen stimulates your body’s natural healing response, supporting the production of new collagen, which gradually lifts and tightens your skin.
While many see exceptional results from this treatment, it is important to note that each patient is unique and can react differently to the procedure.
*The treatment outcome will vary for each individual. The results shown above are for illustrative purposes only.
The innovative approach of Ultherapy® uses ultrasound waves to penetrate deeper into the skin’s structural layers, targeting the tissue where collagen is produced without compromising the skin’s surface.
At Project Skin MD Vancouver, your comfort is our priority. We administer oral analgesics before your treatment. You may feel tenderness in the target area immediately after, but you can resume your daily activities without any required downtime. Bruising may occur and last up to seven days, and optimal results will occur three to six months post-treatment as new collagen continues to form.
Ultherapy® is used to treat the face, browline, jawline and neck. During your personalized consultation, you and your provider will discuss your areas of most concern and put together an individualized plan to refine your contours. Ultherapy® can also be combined with other medical cosmetic treatments, such as dermal fillers, to tighten and restore volume in your skin.
During this consultation, our experienced technicians will evaluate the loose skin areas and discuss your specific concerns to better personalize your treatment. There is a snapping sensation and intense heat associated with the treatment, so we recommend taking Tylenol or Advil beforehand.
To ensure the treatment is precise, your technician will cleanse your skin and draw a temporary grid to target the treatment appropriately and ensure efficacy.
Before using the ultrasound device, your technician will apply ultrasound gel to the target area to ensure effective transmission of the ultrasound waves.
The patented Ulthera® DeepSEE technology in the Ultherapy® device lets us see the skin tissue to a depth of 8mm. This perspective helps ensure your technician is targeting the correct layers of skin while avoiding delicate facial areas such as the frontal bone and facial nerves.
Focused ultrasound waves will be administered at specific depths in the skin to stimulate your body’s natural production of new collagen. This will last between 30 to 90 minutes. Your technician will follow the temporary grid they have drawn, adapting the treatment as necessary.
Starting at $940 per treatment for a brow treatment. Pricing will depend on the specific facial or neck area where treatment is required.
For best and continued results, we recommend getting Ultherapy® treatments every two years. In addition, this procedure can be combined with Thermage® for a preventative, skin-tightening approach.
We do not offer this treatment to those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
