Ultherapy Edmonton

Ultherapy is a non-invasive ultrasound treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Edmonton. The device uses focused ultrasound energy delivered at controlled subcutaneous depths of 1.5 mm, 3 mm and 4.5 mm, combined with DeepSEE imaging that allows the specialist to visualize the underlying tissue layers and place the energy precisely where it can support collagen regeneration.

Ultherapy can help support tightening and lifting of the face, brow, jawline, neck and décolleté over time, with the upper layers of the skin remaining intact. Visible results typically develop gradually over six to twelve months as new collagen forms, and the treatment may be received on its own or as part of a personalized plan that pairs it with complementary in-clinic options such as injectable treatments or medical-grade skincare protocols, depending on individual goals.

Because every patient’s skin, concerns and medical history are different, Ultherapy at our Dermapure clinics in Edmonton always begins with a personalized consultation. Together with your specialist, you will assess whether Ultherapy is the most appropriate option for you and discuss a realistic treatment plan, the expected results and the possible side effects.

What to expect during your session

Step 1

Personalized assessment

Identifying one’s level of skin laxity is an essential step in treatments like Ulthera. Its purpose is to determine skin needs and prioritize corrective over preventive measures, as well as to establish your expectations. The current state and age of the skin will affect how it reacts to ultrasound. An individual evaluation will help determine a final diagnosis. We are completely transparent in our approach and only recommend candidates who can truly benefit from this procedure.

Step 2

Mark the area

After cleansing the skin, the technician uses a specially adapted pencil and ruler to trace a temporary grid over the treatment area. This grid is used as a guide throughout the procedure.

Step 3

Apply ultrasound gel

As with all ultrasound devices, a thin layer of ultrasound gel must be applied onto the skin and maintained throughout the procedure to ensure adequate contact. This allows ultrasound waves to penetrate the skin for accurate viewing.

Step 4

Echographic examination

Patented Ulthera DeepSEE technology facilitates the viewing of skin tissue to a depth of 8 mm. A handpiece featuring an ultrasound imaging module is positioned on the skin so the technician can accurately view the subcutaneous layers of the skin for a treatment that is both safe and effective. This echographic examination assesses the depth at which the ultrasound can be performed and highlights problem areas to help the technician avoid the forehead’s frontal bone, manoeuver easily around facial nerves, and treat cheeks close to the bone at a depth of 4.5 mm.

Step 5

Start the procedure

The procedure typically lasts between 30 and 90 minutes—the time needed to produce the energy bursts that stimulate production of new collagen. Guided by the traced-on grid and ultrasound imaging, the technician adapts the treatment to your physiognomy, sometimes focusing on crow’s feet, neck lines, or “jowls”. The intense heat and snapping sensation can make the procedure uncomfortable for some. Patients are advised to take Tylenol or Advil before the procedure.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

We recommend that an Ulthera treatment be repeated every two years. In addition to strengthening the subcutaneous anchor points, scientific studies show considerable thickening of the skin in the areas treated with micro-focused ultrasonic energy, thereby reversing the natural thinning of the epidermis associated with aging. Ulthera can be alternated with Thermage—Ulthera is a corrective treatment, while Thermage is a preventive treatment. Also, it is highly recommended to perform 4 treatments of Venus Freeze/Venus Legacy per year to maximize the effects of the radiofrequency therapy throughout the year and thus to continuously stimulate the production of superficial collagen. Once the desired effects are achieved, the results will last so long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Contraindications

Women who are pregnant or nursing should postpone this procedure.
