Ultherapy®

Do you feel like aging is catching up on you, with fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging of the skin appearing everywhere? Do you want to nip it in the bud with a proactive but low-maintenance anti-aging treatment that delivers a succession of stunning results for months on end? 

Now, staying effortlessly young and beautiful as long as you can is possible, even without surgery! APT Medical Aesthetics proudly brings you the Ulthera skin tightening treatment.

What It Is

Ultherapy® in Oakville is the first and the only FDA-cleared and Health Canada-approved non-invasive procedure to non-surgically lift and tighten the skin to achieve aesthetic enhancements. 

Due to its proven track record of safety and efficacy, it has quickly become one of the most in-demand “lunchtime” cosmetic procedures, currently offered in more than 75 countries worldwide, with over 1.5 million treatments performed globally to date. It’s been hailed as the “Best Non Surgical Skin Tightener” in New Beauty’s Annual Beauty Choice Awards for seven years in a row. 

How It Works

The Ulthera device uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to create a thermal effect under the skin that essentially kickstarts the body’s natural process to make fresh collagen, a naturally occurring protein responsible for giving the skin its radiance and elasticity, which has long been associated with youthfulness. As you age, the body not only decreases the production of collagen but aging and environmental stressors also break them down faster. As a result, the skin loses its strength, and the early signs of aging become more prominent. 

What makes Ulthera skin tightening treatment stand out from other cosmetic procedures out there is that it goes deeper into the skin and takes advantage of the traditional ultrasound imaging, allowing practitioners to accurately see through layers of tissues and concentrate on areas that need more collagen boost to produce the most astounding results. 

Treatment Areas

Ultherapy® has the ability to non-invasively lift and tighten the skin, while visibly reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles on the following areas:

• Neck
• Brow
• Under the chin
• Décolletage 

Ultrasound energy is delivered to the treatment areas by exposing them to the Ulthera device at a precise depth to trigger the collagen-building process successfully. You may feel a warm sensation, which is relatively tolerable for most patients and last only for a few seconds at a time.

Ultherapy® is a perfect alternative for anyone who wishes to address wrinkles, and the slight sagging of the face but is not yet ready for a surgical facelift. Treatment is customized according to your specific beauty concerns.  

How to Prepare

The Ulthera skin tightening treatment is a straightforward, single session in-office procedure. A typical Ultherapy® appointment at our Oakville med spa takes anywhere between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the target area and the personalized treatment plan drawn for you by our experts. 

Because it’s a quick, non-surgical, and non-invasive cosmetic treatment, there is usually no major preparation required from patients. However, should there be any certain preparation steps that you should do specific to your case before the treatment, your clinician will discuss it with you during your initial consultation.

Results You Can Expect

The beauty of Ultherapy® is that it typically takes one treatment session to see a significant improvement and achieve your desired results. Nevertheless, some patients may benefit from a couple more sessions, depending on their skin’s laxity and how their body responds to ultrasound and the collagen-building process. 

You will notice subtle but definite changes in the skin’s firmness and overall appearance immediately after the treatment. However, you will appreciate the Ulthera skin tightening even more as dramatic enhancements become more obvious months post-treatment, which is a clear indication that the natural collagen boost is beginning to work its magic deep into the skin. As new collagen fibre takes months to develop fully, it may also take as long as six months for the final results of Ultherapy® to become more apparent. 

How long Ulthera’s results last vary from person to person. On average, it can last for as long as 2 years. However, since its main feature involves stimulating natural collagen production, the patient’s natural aging process and critical contributing factors, such as lifestyle choices and stress exposure, can impact how long one can enjoy the treatment’s visible benefits. To maintain its beautiful results, your doctor may recommend getting a follow-up Ulthera skin tightening treatment once a year.

Aftercare and Recovery

One of the many things our clients love about Ulthera is that there is virtually no downtime and no follow-up treatment measures necessary. There’s no need to file a leave from work or miss out on any exciting plans. You can safely have your treatment done any day you prefer and still have a fun-filled night out with your girlfriends or hop on your Zoom calls later.

Potential Complications

Ultrasound energy has an untarnished safety record and has been widely used in medicine for more than 50 years. Ultherapy® is deemed generally safe for most people. It currently has no known complication or serious side effects.

There may be a slight redness post-treatment that clears up on its own after an hour or two. In rare cases, patients may notice a bit of swelling or tingling and tenderness on the treatment area, but these are all temporary and would resolve on their own within a few hours.
