Ultherapy in Markham
Ultherapy combines real-time ultrasound imaging with focused ultrasound energy to support gradual lifting and tightening without surgery.
What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment that uses ultrasound imaging to view tissue layers and focused ultrasound energy to treat selected depths below the skin. The controlled energy creates small thermal treatment points that start a natural healing response and support new collagen formation over time. It is designed to improve mild to moderate skin laxity while leaving the surface of the skin intact.
At Premium Clinic in Markham, an Ultherapy consultation begins with your concerns, treatment area, health history and expectations. The treatment may be considered for the brow, lower face, jawline, under-chin area, neck or upper chest, depending on an individual assessment. It does not replace a surgical facelift, and the degree and timing of visible change vary from person to person.
Adults with mild to moderate skin laxity who want a non-surgical option may be candidates. Skin condition, health history, medications, implants and treatment goals are reviewed before a recommendation is made.
Many people begin with one treatment. The recommended number of sessions, treatment depth and follow-up schedule are personalized after assessment.
How does Ultherapy work?
The Ulthera System combines imaging and therapy in one device. Imaging helps the provider visualize the skin and underlying tissue before energy is delivered. Focused ultrasound then reaches targeted depths, where it produces precise points of heat below the skin’s surface. The body’s repair process responds by gradually remodelling collagen.
Because the response develops over time, changes are not immediate. Some people notice early improvement, while further lifting or firmness may appear gradually over the following months. Results, comfort and longevity vary with age, skin quality, treatment area, energy settings and individual biology.
What happens during an Ultherapy appointment?
- Consultation and assessment: We discuss the change you want, review relevant medical information and determine whether Ultherapy or another option is appropriate.
- Treatment planning: The area is cleansed and mapped. Ultrasound gel is applied so the handpiece maintains contact with the skin.
- Imaging and energy delivery: The provider views the tissue layers and delivers focused ultrasound energy in planned lines at selected depths. Sensations can include brief heat, tingling or tenderness.
- Aftercare: You receive guidance based on the treated area and your skin response. Most people can return to usual daily activities soon afterward.
Recovery, side effects and safety
Ultherapy is non-surgical and does not require incisions. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, tingling, sensitivity or bruising can occur. Less common risks may include welts, numbness, burns or nerve effects. A qualified consultation is important because focused ultrasound treatment is not suitable for every person or every area.
Tell the clinic about pregnancy, open wounds or active skin conditions in the area, implanted electrical devices, metal in the treatment area, recent procedures, medications and any medical condition that could affect healing or sensation. Your provider will explain expected benefits, limitations, alternatives and risks that apply to you before treatment.
Ultherapy results and follow-up
Ultherapy aims for gradual, natural-looking improvement rather than an immediate surgical-style change. The collagen response may continue to develop over several months. How long an improvement remains visible differs by person because normal aging continues. Follow-up helps assess your response and whether maintenance or a complementary treatment fits your goals.
If your main concern is facial or neck laxity, compare Ultherapy with other options in our Skin Lifting & Tightening Program or explore treatments for poor jawline definition. A consultation can help distinguish when focused ultrasound, radiofrequency or a different approach is the better match.

Who is a good candidate for Ultherapy?
Ultherapy may suit adults with mild to moderate skin laxity who want gradual improvement without surgery. Suitability depends on the treatment area, skin condition, health history, medications, implants and goals, so it is confirmed in consultation.
Which areas can Ultherapy treat?
Depending on assessment and the device’s authorized uses, treatment may be considered for the brow, lower face, jawline, under the chin, neck and upper chest. The appropriate area and depth are selected individually.
How long does an Ultherapy treatment take?
Appointment length depends on the size and number of areas treated and the plan selected after assessment. The clinic can give you a more specific estimate during your consultation.
Is there downtime after Ultherapy?
Most people can return to routine activities soon after treatment. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, tingling, sensitivity or bruising may occur, and aftercare is tailored to your response.
When might I see results?
Ultherapy supports a gradual collagen response, so changes may develop over the following months rather than appearing all at once. Timing and the degree of improvement vary by individual.
How many Ultherapy sessions will I need?
Many people begin with one treatment, but the right plan depends on skin laxity, the area treated, your response and goals. Follow-up is used to assess progress and discuss maintenance if appropriate.
Can Ultherapy be combined with other treatments?
It may be combined with compatible treatments when the sequence and timing are planned carefully. Your provider will consider your goals, skin, recent procedures and recovery needs before recommending a combined plan.
