Question 1

What is Ultherapy?

Accepted Answer

Ultherapy is the only non-invasive treatment cleared by the FDA for lifting the skin on the neck, chin, and brow, and improving lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. Ultherapy uses microfocused ultrasound to lift and tighten loose skin over time, without any downtime. We are excited to offer this treatment in our health and beauty clinic, along with our orther professional botox and filler treatments.

Question 2

Is Ultherapy Safe?

Accepted Answer

Ultherapy is a proven treatment with a well-established safety profile. It is currently marketed worldwide in more than 75 countries, with over 1.5 million treatments performed globally to date. In addition, ultrasound energy has a proven track record, with use in the field of medicine for more than 50 years. Ultherapy is one of the only laser treatments to be approved by Health Canada  and generally produces great results with minimal discomfort and downtime. While you may experience some redness after the procedure, this is a normal side effect and will subside in a few days.

Question 3

How is Ultherapy different from other laser skin tightening procedures?

Accepted Answer

Ultherapy uses sound energy—tried-and-true ultrasound—which has unique properties that allow it to bypass the surface of the skin to treat depths not matched by any other non-invasive cosmetic device. Ultherapy ultrasound stimulates collagen production in the skin’s foundation, resulting in a clinically significant lift of tissue over two to three months. Some lasers rely on light energy, which cannot reach deeper skin layers. Typically, laser treatments also only treat superficial skin and are not FDA-cleared to lift skin. Ultherapy is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses time-tested ultrasound technology to stimulate the formation of new collagen deep below the skin’s surface. The production of new collagen takes time, so results can become more apparent over two to three months, even up to six months. The procedure takes about 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area treated, and there is no downtime afterward. It is also the only non-invasive procedure to use ultrasound imaging, which allows practitioners to actually see the layers of tissue targeted during the treatment and ensure the energy is deposited precisely to where it will be most beneficial.

Question 4

What can Ultherapy Treat?

Accepted Answer

Ultherapy is a versatile non-surgical laser skin treatment that can be used on your face, neck, and chest. It is used to stimulate your body’s natural ability to heal itself and create more collagen. This reduces the appearance of lines, wrinkles, loose skin and more, producing natural, long-lasting results. Results generally last about two years, depending on your skin.

Question 5

How many treatments does Ultherapy take?

Accepted Answer

The majority of patients only need one treatment; however, some may benefit from more than one treatment, depending on how much skin laxity they have and their body’s own biological response to the ultrasound and the collagen-building process. Follow-up Ultherapy treatments each year may help maintain results.

Question 6

How long do Ultherapy benefits last?

Accepted Answer

Since the procedure stimulates a person’s own collagen production, how long the results last depends on the individual. While results appear over two to three months, they can last up to a year or more. The treatment produces new collagen on the inside, but the individual’s natural aging process will dictate how long that translates into visible results on the outside. Future touch-up treatments can help provide more control over the aging process, which varies by individual.

Question 7

Are you a good candidate for Ultherapy?

Accepted Answer

A good candidate for Ultherapy is someone with some degree of laxity, to the point of looking, and often feeling, less firm. Loose skin under the neck and under the chin, or lines and wrinkles on the chest, are signals a patient might be a candidate. Typically, people in their 30s and older who have mild to moderate skin laxity are candidates. While Ultherapy is not a replacement for a surgical facelift, there are many people who want some facial lifting but are not ready for surgery, whether mentally, physically, or financially. There also are younger people who want to stay ahead of the game, as well as patients wanting an aesthetic maintenance option.
