Is Ultherapy Worth It? Reviews And Cost
Cosmetic skin treatments offer an entire world of options for those who have looked in the mirror and started to notice the various signs of aging
Sagging cheeks, forehead skin that isn’t as tight and smooth as it used to be, baggy skin under the neck, and lines and wrinkles on the face and chest area—these all come with age, stress, exposure to the sun, as well as lifestyle choices such as smoking and using tanning beds. The good news is that many of these signs of ageing are reversible. Even better—you don’t need to resort to surgical procedures to smooth out wrinkles, tighten your skin, and look more youthful and refreshed. Ultherapy, a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment, can help you look years younger without a single incision or needle injection.

What Is Ultherapy?
For those unfamiliar with the treatment, Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology to target the layers just underneath the surface of your skin, stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. It does this through use of the perfect amount of heat to jumpstart collagen production without causing any burning, major swelling, or damage to the skin. In fact, Ultherapy is virtually painless and doesn’t require any downtime afterwards.
After Ultherapy, some patients will be excited to notice immediate results. The majority of the benefits, however, won’t be seen for 2 to 3 months after the treatment. During this time, the body is producing collagen, helping the skin plump up and fill out. This results in better skin tone, more definition to the face and neck, and a smoothing of wrinkles on the face, neck, and chest area.
Is It Safe?
Ultrasound technology has been used safely and effectively in the medical field for 50 years. As for Ultherapy, it has been approved by Health Canada and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use on the face and brow area as well as the neck and décolletage. It’s been used to achieve fabulous results more than half a million times the world over. Not only is Ultherapy safe; it really works.

What Do Patients Think About Ultherapy?
Some patients get Ultherapy because they have only mild sagging or minor wrinkles and they simply aren’t ready for a surgical procedure such as a full facelift or even a brow lift. A woman who went in because she had noticed that her jowls were becoming a bit saggy happily reported that she was noticing significant results beginning to happen just 1 week after her Ultherapy treatment. For another patient, tightening of the loose skin of her neck took almost 3 months, but was very noticeable once the collagen levels had built up enough to fill out her skin.
Other patients get Ultherapy years after a surgical cosmetic procedure to maintain the smoothing and facial definition that they achieved with their initial procedure. Even after a facelift, the ageing process still continues, so Ultherapy is a wonderful complementary therapy used to tweak the results of a facelift years down the road. One woman who started noticing a bit of drooping under her chin some time after her facelift began having Ultherapy treatments every 2 years and has been incredibly pleased with the tightening results.
How Much Does Ultherapy Cost?
The cost of Ultherapy depends on where you live. In Toronto, for instance, Ultherapy treatment can range from $1,000 to $5,000. If you’re treating only a small area (such as above your brows), the price can run between $750 and $1,000.
