What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a non-surgical facelift that utilizes ultrasound technology to target the structural and foundational layers of tissue without affecting the skin’s surface. Unlike radiofrequency or laser treatments, which primarily target the epidermis, Ultherapy penetrates deeper into the SMAS layer—the same tissue layer addressed in facial cosmetic surgery clinics.
The ultrasound imaging allows Ulthera specialists to visualize the tissue layers in real-time, ensuring precise treatment delivery and maximum collagen contraction and collagen restoration.
Ultherapy is offered in our Markham, Yorkville, North York and Toronto location.

Ultherapy Post-Treatment and Recovery: What to Expect
At Rejuuv Medi Spa, we understand that post-treatment care is essential for achieving optimal results from Ultherapy. While this non-surgical facelift requires minimal downtime, patients should still follow proper post-procedure guidelines to support the healing process and ensure long-lasting skin tightening effects.
Immediate Post-Treatment Effects
After Ultherapy, most patients experience mild and temporary side effects, including:
Redness – The treated skin may appear flushed or slightly red immediately after the procedure, but this typically resolves within a few hours.
Swelling – Some swelling is common, especially in areas where deeper layers of tissue have been targeted. This usually subsides within a few days.
Tenderness and Tingling – Patients often report a tight feeling or tingling sensation, which is a sign that collagen production has been activated. Mild tenderness may persist for a few days but is generally well-tolerated.
Discomfort – While Ultherapy is not known for significant pain post-treatment, some individuals may experience mild soreness or sensitivity in the treated treatment areas, similar to the feeling after an intense workout.
These side effects indicate that the ultrasound energy has begun stimulating collagen synthesis and that the body is naturally responding to the treatment.
Healing Process: What to Expect in the Following Weeks
Week 1:
Any lingering redness or swelling will continue to fade.
Patients may still experience minor tenderness, but this should not interfere with daily activities.
Skin may feel tighter and firmer, though visible changes are still developing beneath the surface.
Weeks 2–6:
The body’s collagen-building process continues, gradually strengthening the structural and foundational layers of tissue.
A noticeable improvement in skin texture and firmness begins to emerge.
Patients with mild to moderate skin laxity may start to see subtle lifting effects.
Months 2–3:
The most significant skin tightening and lifting effects become visible.
Improvements in jawline definition, neck tightening, and brow lifting become more apparent.
Skin texture, elasticity, and firmness continue to improve as new collagen and elastin mature.
Months 3–6:
Final results are achieved, with maximum collagen restoration and skin tightening effects.
The skin maintains a youthful appearance with increased elasticity and firmness.
Post-Procedure Guidelines for Optimal Recovery
To enhance the healing process and maximize the results of Ultherapy, patients should follow these post-treatment care recommendations:
Immediate Care After Treatment
✔ Avoid excessive sun exposure – UV rays can break down newly formed collagen and slow healing. Always wear SPF 30 or higher.
✔ Stay hydrated – Drinking plenty of water supports skin regeneration.
✔ Use a gentle skincare routine – Avoid harsh exfoliants or active ingredients like retinol for the first week.
✔ Do not apply makeup or heavy skincare products for at least 24 hours.
Managing Temporary Side Effects
✔ For redness and swelling – Apply a cool compress if needed, but avoid direct ice application.
✔ For tenderness and tingling – Use mild pain relievers if necessary, but most discomfort subsides naturally within days.
Maintenance Appointments and Touch-Up Treatments
While Ultherapy results last one to two years, maintenance appointments can extend the benefits and keep skin tightening effects at their peak.
Who Should Consider Touch-Up Treatments?
Patients with progressive skin laxity who want to maintain their results.
Individuals who notice gradual collagen depletion due to aging.
Those who wish to enhance their results further after six to twelve months.
Safety and Side Effects
Is Ultherapy Safe?
FDA-approved with strong clinical validation.
Performed by trained medical professionals at physicians’ clinics and medi-spas.
Minimal risks and complications compared to surgical alternatives.
Potential Side Effects
