Tips for Preparing for Your Ultherapy Treatment at DRS Skincare
Thinking about Ultherapy to lift, tighten, and refresh your skin? You’ve come to the right place. This non-invasive ultrasound treatment delivers real, lasting results — no surgery, no significant downtime. At DRS Skincare in Hamilton, Ontario, Dr. Rahul Shukla and his team specialize in helping patients look and feel their best. Here’s everything you need to know to prepare for your upcoming Ultherapy session.
How Does Ultherapy Work?
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production deep beneath the skin’s surface. It’s highly effective for lifting and tightening skin on the face, neck, and décolletage. Because it’s non-surgical, there’s minimal downtime and very little risk — but like any treatment, a little preparation goes a long way toward getting the best results.
How Do You Prepare for Ultherapy Treatment?
- Schedule a consultation first. Before anything else, book a consultation with Dr. Shukla and his team. This step ensures Ultherapy is the right fit for your skin type, concerns, and goals — and gives you personalized guidance ahead of your appointment.
- Protect your skin from the sun. In the weeks leading up to your treatment, avoid excessive sun exposure. Sunburned or irritated skin can make the procedure less comfortable and compromise your results. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily to keep your skin in the best possible condition.
- Arrive with clean, product-free skin. On the day of your appointment, cleanse your face thoroughly and skip the makeup and skincare products. A clean canvas allows the Ultherapy device to work at maximum effectiveness.
- Review your medications with your provider. Some medications and supplements can increase skin sensitivity. Let your provider know what you’re currently taking so they can advise whether anything needs to be temporarily paused before your session.
What Can I Expect During and After My Ultherapy Session?
The treatment typically takes between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated. During the session, you may feel mild warmth or a light tingling sensation as the ultrasound energy reaches deeper tissue layers — this is normal and well tolerated by most patients. Your provider at our office will ensure you’re as comfortable as possible throughout.
Afterward, you may notice temporary redness or mild swelling, which resolves quickly, and most patients return to their normal routine the same day. Full results develop gradually over several weeks to months, as collagen production takes time. Be patient — the outcome is worth it.
