At our Calgary Wildwood location, Ulthera treatments provide non-invasive tightening using focused ultrasound energy. This advanced technology is perfect for smoothing and firming areas like the face, neck, and décolleté.
The procedure stimulates the deep layers of your skin, creating tiny attachment points that regenerate tissue and restore elasticity. The surface remains unaffected, and results develop naturally over time. Some redness or sensitivity may occur but requires no recovery period.
Ulthera has earned international acclaim, including recognition from plastic surgeons, for delivering facelift-like effects without invasive surgery. It is ideal for progressive and natural-looking skin tightening.
Ultherapy is a leading non-invasive treatment licensed by Health Canada that lifts, tightens and firms the skin without surgery. Backed by 88 patents and 46 clinical studies, Ultherapy has earned a strong international reputation, particularly among specialists in plastic and aesthetic medicine. It is also the most popular corrective procedure at Dermapure, with visible results typically appearing within 6 to 12 months after treatment.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Treatment prices vary based on your individual needs and the specific procedure performed. To learn more about pricing, we invite you to contact your clinic or schedule a consultation with our experts.
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.
Women who are pregnant or nursing should postpone this procedure.
Ultherapy is carried out mostly over the entire face, on eyebrows, neck and chest areas. These areas are most often affected by loss of tone and respond well to ultrasound therapy. Depending on your needs, it is also possible to treat the entire face or just a targeted area of the face; the jawline can be targeted to redefine facial contours, while the eye area can be targeted to lift eyebrows, smooth fine lines and “open-up” the eyes. Ulthera is normally used in combination with dermal fillers to create a more visible rejuvenating effect. Ultherapy is used to treat sagging skin, while hyaluronic acid injections are used to treat facial hollows.
