The Only FDA-approved Skin Lifting and Skin Tightening Non-Surgical Treatment

As we age, the skin on our facial and neck begin to sag because of facial volume loss and skin laxity changes. Ultherapy® is Health Canada and FDA-approved for skin lifting and skin tightening. It utilizes high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology to generate a thermal effect under the skin to the foundational layer (SMAS*) to stimulate collagen and elastin. This ultrasound treatment goes deeper than other non-invasive treatments (as deep as 4.5mm), being the first technology to allow visualization of targeted tissue during treatment. Through the ultrasound imaging, energy is delivered precisely to the targeted area. * SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System) is a tissue sheet of collagen, elastin fibres and fat cells.

Benefits that Ultherapy® brings:

Skin lifting: the only Health Canada and FDA-approved non-surgical treatment for skin lifting. While lasers and radio frequency (RF) provide good results in skin tightening, Ultherapy® is the only FDA-certified procedure for both skin lifting and skin tightening.
No surgery, non-invasive, no downtime. Unlike lasers, radio frequency, surgery, and other technologies, Ultherapy® bypasses the surface of the skin through ultrasound energy with focused imaging—to target just the right amount at the right depths and the right temperature.
Ideal for mild face & skin laxity and sagging.
Natural results. The proven results of Ultherapy® are clear, appearing over 2-3 months as new collagen works to lift skin. Results may improve over the following three to six months, and can last a year or more.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much time does the treatment take?

Ultherapy lasts about 60-90 minutes (full face and neck treatment), while treatment for the upper chest (or décolletage) takes approximately 30 minutes.

What is the procedure process?

After cleansing the skin and identifying the specific areas to be treated, our doctor will apply the ultrasound gel and place the smooth treatment applicator against your skin. To customize your treatment, our doctor will next visualize the best location for treatment through Ultherapy’s ultrasound imaging, in order to target the area(s) that will benefit you most.

During treatment, you will feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited under the skin, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initiated. Comfort levels can vary from person to person, but you may experience the sensation of heat and/or tingling while the energy is being delivered. Our doctor may recommend certain options to enhance your comfort during treatment.

What's the recovery time?

It requires no surgery and no downtime. Ultherapy bypasses the surface of the skin through ultrasound energy with focused imaging—to target just the right amount at the right depths and the right temperature. This means that you will be able to carry on with your everyday activities without a problem.

Your skin might appear flushed at first, but the redness should disappear within a few hours. Some patients experience slight swelling, tingling, or tenderness to the touch, but these are mild and temporary in nature.

Other, less common post-procedural effects may include temporary bruising or numbness on small areas of skin. As with any medical procedure, speak with our doctor in your follow-up visit.

What should I prepare before & after the treatment?

Before you undergo this treatment, please schedule a one-on-one consultation with our doctor so he can assess your skin, address your concerns, and determine if you are a candidate for Ultherapy. There are no pre- or post-treatment skin care requirements associated with Ultherapy, so once you book your personalized Ultherapy procedure, you can relax!

How is Ultherapy different from laser and RF treatments?

Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy – which has unique properties that allow it to bypass the surface of the skin to treat certain tissue depths. Ultherapy treats deeper (4.5mm) than lasers (100% deeper) and RFs (50% deeper).

Note: Lasers rely on light energy, and affect skin surface; general RFs go about 3mm deep.

How many Ultherapy treatments will I need?

We see improvements in our clients after one treatment. Our goal is to provide patients with the best desired results. Dr. Pinkhasik will monitor your progress and suggest follow up visits as necessary.
