As we age, it’s common to notice our facial skin losing its firmness and vitality. This natural process is largely due to a decrease in collagen production, which can lead to a tired, sagging appearance. Traditionally, surgical facelifts have been the go-to solution for those seeking a significant lift, yet the invasive nature of surgery and the downtime required are factors many wish to avoid. Fortunately, Dermapure offers a breakthrough solution that allows you to achieve a facelift without surgery—introducing Ultherapy, a non-invasive treatment that lifts and tightens the skin without incisions or needles.
Approved by Health Canada, Ulthéra® technology at Dermapure provides targeted treatment to lift the neck, face, cleavage, and even the delicate areas around the eyebrows and eyes. By stimulating the body’s own collagen production through focused ultrasound waves, Ultherapy offers a natural, gradual lift that enhances your contours and revitalizes your appearance. But what makes this innovative treatment stand out in the world of facelifts, and how does it redefine what’s possible in non-surgical skin rejuvenation?
How Does Ultherapy Work?
The Ulthéra® treatment uses micro-focused ultrasonic waves to achieve a lift similar to a surgical facelift—but without incisions. At Dermapure, this advanced technology allows technicians to target precise subcutaneous layers of the skin, thanks to a specialized ultrasound probe. By scanning the deeper layers, the technician identifies areas for targeted treatment, emitting focused ultrasound energy at three specific depths (up to 4.5 mm). This depth reaches the same layer where plastic surgeons would operate during traditional facelift surgery.
The ultrasonic waves produce heat, creating thousands of tiny attachment points that trigger tissue contraction. This controlled thermal response activates the production of new collagen fibers, which rejuvenates the skin’s structure and enhances its firmness.
A typical Ultherapy session lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. While the treatment is non-invasive, some patients experience temporary discomfort; taking Tylenol prior to the session can help increase comfort levels. Following the treatment, minor side effects like redness, slight bruising, or skin sensitivity may occur but usually subside within a few days.
What Benefits Does Ultherapy Offer?
Ultherapy offers a natural-looking lift and rejuvenation of facial and neck contours without any surgery or injections. Key benefits include:
- Enhanced Contours: Noticeably improved definition along the jawline and neck.
- Reduced Double Chin: A smoother, more refined profile.
- Lifted Eyelids and Brows: A refreshed appearance, particularly around the eyes.
- Smoother Neckline: Improved texture and tightness across the neck and chest.
Most patients see noticeable results immediately following treatment, with optimal improvements appearing over the next 2 to 3 months as collagen production intensifies. For long-lasting results, a single treatment every two years is recommended. Unlike some laser treatments, Ulthéra® is safe and effective for all skin types, without limitations related to pigmentation or sun exposure.
With Ultherapy, patients can achieve the benefits of a facelift without the downtime or potential complications associated with surgery. It offers a safer, less invasive option for those hesitant about traditional surgical procedures, providing a refreshed and youthful look in a natural, gradual way. The era of lengthy recovery and weeks of facial swelling is over; with Ultherapy at Dermapure, facial rejuvenation has never been so accessible and patient-friendly.
Other Non-Surgical Facelift Solutions at Dermapure
At Dermapure, achieving a youthful, lifted appearance doesn’t require surgery. Our advanced treatments provide effective, non-invasive solutions that target skin laxity, smooth wrinkles, and redefine facial contours—all without the need for incisions. Here’s a look at our top facelift alternatives:
1. The Soft Lift Approach
For those seeking a non-surgical option, the Soft Lift offers a comprehensive solution by combining the volumizing effects of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers with the neuromodulators. By working together, these two components help to restore facial balance.
- A Complete Approach: The Soft Lift brings together the benefits of fillers and neuromodulators to address aesthetic goals comprehensively, enhancing the face’s natural features.
- Natural and Immediate Results: Patients see a subtle yet noticeable rejuvenation shortly after treatment, with an effect that complements their unique facial structure.
- Long-Lasting Revitalization: The Soft Lift provides enduring results that help patients feel confident and refreshed.
2. Microneedling with Radiofrequency (RF): Targeted Tightening from Within
Microneedling RF combines the collagen-stimulating effects of microneedling with radiofrequency energy, targeting the skin’s deeper layers to boost elasticity and firmness. This treatment is ideal for patients looking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles while tightening loose skin on the face and neck.
- Skin Firming and Lifting: Addresses skin laxity and refines facial contours.
- Texture and Tone Improvement: Helps smooth fine lines and improve skin texture.
- Enhanced Collagen Production: Stimulates deeper collagen growth for a firmer, more lifted appearance.
3. Laser Skin Resurfacing for Enhanced Elasticity
Laser skin resurfacing is a powerful option to improve the skin’s overall tone and elasticity. By removing damaged outer layers and stimulating collagen growth beneath, laser treatments encourage the skin to rebuild itself, leaving a smoother, tighter appearance. This is especially beneficial for those with fine lines, mild sagging, and pigmentation issues.
- Smoother, Firmer Skin: Reduces fine lines and improves skin texture.
- Even Skin Tone: Addresses pigmentation and discoloration.
- Collagen Renewal: Encourages long-term firmness by stimulating new collagen.
4. Thread Lift: A Non-Surgical Lift with Immediate Effects
The thread lift is an effective alternative to surgery for lifting sagging skin. With biodegradable threads placed under the skin, this procedure provides instant lifting for areas like the cheeks, jowls, and neck. Over time, the threads dissolve, stimulating collagen production and adding firmness to the treated areas.
- Instant Lift: Achieve a naturally lifted look right after the procedure.
- Collagen Boost: Encourages collagen production for ongoing skin firmness.
- Minimal Downtime: Resume normal activities shortly after treatment.
