What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy, or focused ultrasound, is a non-surgical corrective treatment approved by Health Canada . This technique uses ultrasound to stimulate tissues and generate the production of natural collagen to tighten and lift the skin of the face, jawline, neck, chin, and eyebrows.
This collagen stimulation, achieved through the ultrasonic energy of an ultrasound probe, provides a firming and smoothing effect without the need for plastic surgeons. This helps to diminish the signs of skin aging and achieve a healthy-looking complexion.

Personalized treatment

Are there any risks associated with Ultherapy?
No, Ultherapy is considered a safe treatment. However, in some rare cases, Ultherapy may present certain risks and side effects.
Potential risks include slight swelling, tingling, sensitivity to touch and, more rarely, numbness or the appearance of temporary bruising on small areas of the skin.
