Ulthera® treatment
If you want to lift, tighten, and firm fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin around the face and neck, Ulthera® is a fantastic option for you. With 88 patents and 46 clinical studies supporting the effectiveness of this treatment, ultherapy is trusted by medical professionals around the world. It is also licensed and approved by Health Canada.
Ultherapy is the most popular anti-aging procedure offered at Dermapure Vancouver, designed to treat visible signs of aging while slowing the skin’s aging process over time. Our patients typically begin noticing results from this procedure within 2 to 6 months after their first treatment: ultherapy is a gradual process that is designed to produce very natural results, making it a fit with our holistic approach to highlighting patients’ unique beauty.
We will begin by identifying your level of skin laxity to determine your needs, prioritize corrective measures, and establish realistic expectations. Since the state and age of a patient’s skin will affect how it reacts to ultrasound, these personalized evaluations are essential for determining whether someone is a good candidate for ultherapy.
After cleansing the skin, a Dermapure technician will use a ruler and washable pencil to trace a grid over the treatment area, which will guide the physician throughout the procedure.
As with any ultrasound procedure, a thin layer of ultrasound gel must be applied to the skin. This allows the ultrasound waves to properly penetrate the skin.
Ulthera®’s patented DeepSEE technology allows our physicians to view the layers of your skin up to 8 mm below the surface. This examination is performed using a handheld ultrasound imaging tool and is meant to assess the depth at which the treatment can be performed. It also helps the technician avoid your forehead’s frontal bone, maneuver easily around facial nerves, and treat cheeks at a depth of 4.5 mm.
The duration of the procedure varies from person to person, though it typically takes between 30 and 90 minutes. At that point, your skin will be stimulated to produce new collagen. Guided by the traced-on grid and ultrasound imaging, the physician will treat your chosen areas, whether you are looking to target crow’s feet, neck lines, wrinkles, or skin laxity around the jaw.
We are proud to offer competitive pricing for ultherapy treatment. Depending on the area you wish to treat, the cost of this procedure varies, starting at $1,575 per session for the upper facial area (including crow’s feet, eyebrow lift, and dark circles). For a more detailed breakdown of ultherapy prices in Vancouver, we recommend booking a free consultation with one of our specialists.
Dermapure Vancouver recommends booking an ultherapy treatment once every two years to maintain your results. Studies have shown that ultherapy can actually help thicken the skin over time, reversing the skin thinning process that leads to wrinkles, fine lines, and laxity.
Women who are pregnant or nursing should not undergo ultherapy. Postpone this type of treatment until your situation changes.
If your skin appears less firm than it once was, you may be a good candidate for ultherapy. This treatment is designed for mild to moderate skin laxity, which can manifest as loose skin under the neck, under the chin, or lines and wrinkles on the chest. If you aren’t sure whether ultherapy is right for you, book a free consultation with Dermapure Vancouver to evaluate your anti-aging concerns in-depth.
Many patients begin this type of treatment in their early thirties, when the first signs of aging start becoming apparent. However, some people are considered to be good candidates as early as 25 years old. Around this time, your body begins producing less collagen, which causes fine lines and wrinkles to form. Treatments like ultherapy are therefore recommended, maintaining your skin’s firmness and stimulate collagen production with the help of technology.
The cost of treatment starts at $1,500 per session.
This procedure uses ultrasound technology to gradually lift and tighten loose skin, without any downtime or significant side effects. Microfocused ultrasound waves generate a thermal effect under the skin, encouraging your body’s natural collagen-producing processes by targeting its deepest layers.
Ultherapy appointments can last anywhere between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the area that is being treated.
Ultherapy is most commonly used to reduce signs of aging on the face, neck, eyebrows, and décolleté, including crow’s feet, loose skin, fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles.
Since ultherapy is a gradual skin tightening process, most patients begin noticing the effects within two to six months following their first treatment. Results can last for 1-2 years, depending on the patient’s unique skin and aging process. This type of procedure is recommended as part of an annual or bi-annual skin rejuvenation maintenance program.
Most patients are able to immediately resume their regular activities after their treatment. Some people experience temporary redness or minor swelling around the treated area within 24 to 48 hours.
To enhance your overall results, you may elect to receive complementary treatments: ultherapy can be combined with injectables such as neuromodulators and dermal fillers to enhance the effects of your skin tightening procedure.
