Experience Ultherapy®, the only FDA-cleared and Health Canada-approved non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound technology to lift, tone, and tighten the skin.
At Humphrey & Beleznay Cosmetic Dermatology in Vancouver, we use this advanced ultrasound technology to target the deep structural layers of the skin—the same foundational layers typically addressed in a surgical facelift. By stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, Ultherapy delivers a gradual, natural-looking lift to the brow, chin, neck, and décolletage without incisions, needles, or downtime.
Choosing Ultherapy means you can achieve noticeable results with minimal disruption to your daily life, making it an ideal choice for those seeking subtle, natural enhancements without the risks and recovery associated with surgery.
Ultherapy is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin on the face, neck, and décolletage. Unlike lasers, radiofrequency, surgery, and other invasive techniques, Ultherapy bypasses the surface of the skin to deliver targeted ultrasound energy at just the right depth to stimulate the body's production of collagen and elastin. The result is a natural, noticeable lift over time.
Unlike lasers, radiofrequency, or surgery, Ultherapy bypasses the surface of the skin entirely. It uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to deliver precise amounts of heat to the dermis and the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer. This targeted energy triggers a natural regenerative response under the skin, jumpstarting the production of fresh, new collagen and elastin.
Because Ultherapy incorporates traditional ultrasound imaging, Dr. Beleznay and our highly trained medical team can see the layers of tissue they are treating in real-time. This ensures the energy is delivered exactly where it will be most beneficial, providing a highly customized and effective skin tightening treatment.
An Ultherapy treatment typically takes between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated. During the procedure, ultrasound gel is applied to the skin, and the Ultherapy device is placed against the skin to deliver the ultrasound energy. Most patients experience mild discomfort during the treatment and we can provide pain management strategies as desired. After the treatment, there is little to no downtime, and you can return to your normal activities immediately.
While some patients notice an immediate initial tightening right after their appointment, the true results of Ultherapy are a gradual process. The most significant lifting and firming become visible over 2 to 3 months as your body builds new collagen. Results can continue to improve for up to 6 months and typically last for a year or more.
Because Ultherapy relies on your own collagen production, the results are incredibly natural—you will look like a more refreshed, youthful version of yourself.
Most patients only need one Ultherapy treatment to achieve their desired results. However, depending on the degree of skin laxity and your body’s biological response to the ultrasound energy, some patients may benefit from an additional treatment. Annual touch-up treatments are often recommended to maintain the results and keep pace with the natural aging process.
The length of the treatment depends on the area being treated but generally ranges from 30 minutes to 90 minutes.
There is typically no to minimal downtime with Ultherapy. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the procedure.
While some patients notice an immediate lift, the most significant results appear over a few months as new collagen builds in the skin.
The results of Ultherapy can last for a year or more, depending on the individual’s skin condition and aging process.
Patients may experience mild discomfort during the procedure as the ultrasound energy is delivered, but it is typically well-tolerated. We have pain management strategies available at Humphrey & Beleznay as well.
Yes, Ultherapy is FDA-approved and has been used safely in hundreds of thousands of treatments worldwide.
Ultherapy is a great alternative for those who are not ready for surgery or want to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery, but it does not replicate the results of a surgical facelift.
The cost of Ultherapy varies based on the size of the treatment area. During your consultation, we will provide a precise, personalized quote based on your specific anatomy and goals.
Yes. Ultherapy is often used as the foundational skin-tightening step in a comprehensive anti-aging plan. It can be safely and effectively combined with neuromodulators (like Botox), dermal fillers, and laser resurfacing to address multiple signs of aging simultaneously.
