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 individual results often appear over time, many patients see visible improvements after just one session. This highlights the significance of each patient’s unique skin type and regenerative capabilities.
*The treatment outcome will vary for each individual. The results shown above are for illustrative purposes only.
At our Vancouver clinic, our Ultherapy® treatments use cutting-edge ultrasound technology to achieve a lifting and tightening effect on the skin. This innovative procedure delves into the skin’s deeper layers to target structural tissues where collagen production occurs, ensuring the skin’s surface remains unharmed. To prioritize your comfort, we provide oral analgesics before your procedure.
It’s normal to feel tenderness in the affected area post-treatment. Aside from this, there is minimal to no downtime associated with Ultherapy®. Some individuals might notice bruising, which could persist for up to a week; however, this can be effectively concealed with makeup.
The full spectrum of benefits, including significant lifting and firming, typically unfolds over three to six months following your Ultherapy® session. This gradual improvement is part of the body’s natural collagen rejuvenation process.
Ultherapy® is used to treat the face, browline, jawline and neck.
During your personalized consultation, we can also tailor our approach to support your goals, such as lifting the eyebrows or defining the jawline. Further, we may recommend combining Ultherapy® with other cosmetic treatments to achieve a more holistic rejuvenated appearance.
We’ll arrange a consultation with our experienced physicians to assess your goals and put together a unique-to-you treatment plan.
To ensure precise delivery of the Ultherapy® device, we cleanse and mark the targeted area before treatment.
Ultrasound gel is applied to the skin to ensure transmission of ultrasound waves to the targeted area.
Alongside our Ultherapy® device, we use the patented Ulthera® DeepSEE technology as a cornerstone of our precision in administering these treatments. This technology enables us to see into facial tissues to 8 mm. From here, we can precisely target the optimal depth for ultrasound application, avoid delicate areas, and navigate around facial nerves. This level of accuracy enhances the procedure’s safety and maximizes its effectiveness.
Ultherapy® sessions at our Vancouver clinic vary from 30 to 90 minutes in length, depending on the area being addressed. Technicians use a combination of a traced-on grid and ultrasound imaging to tailor the treatment to your unique facial structure, allowing for targeted improvement.
Given the intense heat and snapping sensations experienced during the session, patients are advised to take Tylenol or Advil before their treatment to mitigate discomfort.
Pricing varies by treatment area, starting at $940 for a brow treatment.
We recommend repeating Ultherapy® treatment every two years. Potential combination treatments, such as alternating with Thermage®, may be recommended to help maintain results.
For our patients’ safety, individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding cannot receive Ultherapy® treatments.

The length of the treatment will depend on the area being treated and your individual treatment plan. For example, a face and neck procedure typically takes 60-90 minutes, while a chest treatment takes approximately 30 minutes.
A well hydrated skin always responds better to any procedure. Make sure to drink plenty of water in the days prior to your treatment and avoid alcohol or too much caffeine consumption.
Immediately following treatment, you may appear flushed, and experience slight swelling, tingling, or tenderness, but these mild side effects shouldn’t affect your daily routine.
There is absolutely no downtime following Ultherapy® treatment, and you can expect to return to all regular activities.
Some patients experience bruising and tenderness in the areas that were treated, which may last for up to 7 days. Rest assured that bruising is temporary, and can be concealed with mineral make-up; we would be happy to show you some great application tips!
An instant collagen contraction may be noticeable, and optimal lifting will occur after 3-6 months as new collagen is produced and existing fibers tighten. Results typically last one to two years.
Ultherapy® is not intolerable, but it can be uncomfortable in some areas. As the treatment is being delivered, you will feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths. The sensation only lasts while the ultrasound energy is being applied.
