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

What Is Ultherapy? 

Ultherapy treatment 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” skin tightening and anti-aging 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 Does It Works 

Ultherapy skin tightening treatment 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. It takes away years off your age and by giving you a well-defined jawline, sculpted cheeks, and a youthful face overall.

Ultherapy offers the anti-aging benefits of a facelift, fillers, or Botox cosmetic injection but more subtle. 

Ultherapy Oakville Treatment Areas 

Ultherapy treatments have the ability to non-invasively lift and tighten loose skin, while visibly reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles around the face and neck, including:

• Neck
• Brow
• Cheeks 
• Under the chin
• Décolletage (the skin in the neck and upper chest area)

Get toned and sculpted all over by complementing your body contouring procedure with our Ultherapy skin tightening treatment.

Ultrasound energy is delivered to the treatment areas by exposing them to the Ultherapy treatment 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 lasts only for a few seconds at a time.

The Ultherapy skin tightening treatment 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 plastic surgery procedure like facelift or to get fillers or Botox cosmetic injections. Ultherapy treatments are customized according to your specific beauty concerns. Paired with a laser skin resurfacing procedure and an anti-aging skin care regimen using medical-grade skin care products, expect the benefits of Ultherapy to work wonders for your overall skin health.

How to Prepare 

The Ulthera skin tightening treatment is a straightforward, single session in-office procedure done in the privacy of our clinic. 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 Ulthera is a quick, non-surgical, and non-invasive cosmetic procedure, there is usually no major preparation required from our Oakville 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, results may vary. 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 procedure. However, you will appreciate the Ultherapy 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 skin tightening treatment to become more apparent. The before and after photos of our Ultherapy patients speak for themselves.

How long Ultherapy’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. 

You’ll keep people guessing about your age with Ulthera. To maintain its beautiful results, your doctor may recommend getting a follow-up Ultherapy skin tightening treatment once a year.

Ultherapy Aftercare and Recovery 

One of the many things our patients love about Ultherapy treatment 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.

For best results, maintain an effective anti-aging skin care routine religiously with a special focus on sun protection. Since it breaks down collagen and other essential building blocks of the skin, sun damage can contribute to loose skin and is the primary culprit behind the early signs of skin aging. Staying out of direct sunlight and incorporating sunscreen with SPF 30 applied on the face and neck in your everyday skin care is one of the best ways to take care of your skin and extend the effectiveness of your Ultherapy skin tightening results.

Potential Complications 

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

There may be a slight redness or swelling post-treatment that clears up on its own after an hour or two. In rare cases, a patient 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.
