The ultimate in skin tightening with Ultherapy®: Experience the collagen-boosting power

The effects of gravity and the loss of the components that provide structure to the skin can take a considerable toll on the appearance of your face. Fortunately, Ultherapy^® fights these signs of aging. When in the hands of our highly skilled and qualified providers at drs skincare in Hamilton, Ontario, Ultherapy^® combats laxity and restores youthful, balanced, smooth contours. 

Basics 

Ultherapy^® is an energy-based, non-surgical way to tighten skin on the lower face and so much more! The “magic” is in the ultrasound energy. Carefully applied in a highly controlled manner, the energy produces heat to trigger collagen production. This protein is among those parts of the skin that function to provide structure and support. It is made naturally by the body. However, collagen production falls off each year after around the age of 20. As such, structural supports decline, and you may notice increasingly wrinkled and saggy skin. By “remodelling” collagen in the deep layers of tissue, Ultherapy^® provides a positive “lift” to define loose contours and smooth folds. 

Candidates

Ultherapy^® is typically used in the following areas:

• Forehead – Non-surgical brow lift
• Eyebrows
• Upper Face
• Lower Face
• Full Face
• Jowls
• Chin
• Neck
• Chest aka “decolletage”

Typically, an individual can expect a gradual lift over a 3-6 month period.  It is important to understand that results take time to develop and can vary from subtle to noticeable.  Individuals looking for drastic results may want to consider surgery.

In many cases, we combine Ultherapy^® with other procedures such as bio-stimulatory products (Hyperdilute Radiesse and Sculptra) and other devices or lasers to further optimize results.

The process 

During a consultation, we decide what to treat.  

When treatment starts, a sensation of warmth and tenderness is common during the procedure. Generally, the process is tolerated well, so no anesthetic is needed for comfort. Oral pain medication such as acetaminophen or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is often given to help with discomfort.  

Ultherapy^® side effects may include temporary red inflammation, bruises, discomfort, burning pain and swelling at the treatment sites. 

Results at drs skincare 

Our talented and experienced providers facilitate improvements to wrinkles, lines, and laxity, often in a single treatment. As collagen is produced, those improvements are gradually noticeable. The best results are seen in around six months. No treatment, non-surgical or otherwise, can stop the process of aging. However, our team in Hamilton, ON, will work closely with you on skin care, maintenance treatments, and complementary products and procedures to sustain your healthiest, most rejuvenated look.
