Ulthera (Ultherapy) in Edmonton: Non-Surgical Lift
If you’re noticing early sagging along the jawline, softness in the neck, or a subtle “droop” around the brows, Ulthera (commonly known as Ultherapy) offers a non-surgical way to lift and firm skin using focused ultrasound energy. This treatment targets deep structural layers where collagen support is formed—helping you achieve a refreshed, natural-looking result without needles, incisions, or significant downtime. At Albany Cosmetic & Laser Centre in Edmonton, we customize every Ulthera session based on your anatomy, skin laxity, and goals so your outcome looks like you—just more rested, tighter, and more defined.
Ulthera Success Stories: Realistic Results, and Patient Photos
Clients often choose Ulthera because they want visible improvement without looking “done.” The most common feedback we hear is that the face looks subtly lifted, the jawline looks cleaner, and the neck appears smoother—especially in photos and side profile. Results develop gradually as collagen remodels, so changes typically build over weeks and months rather than appearing overnight.
During your consultation, we review your concerns (brow heaviness, jowls, crepey neck skin, under-chin laxity, décolletage lines), discuss what Ulthera can and cannot do, and outline a plan that matches your timeline. We can also review clinic patient photos (where available and consented) to help set clear expectations for improvement and the kind of “lift” that is realistic for your starting point.
Quick Summary of Ulthera Face Lift
Here’s a practical overview of pricing, comfort, how the technology works, and what you should do to protect your results between sessions.
Cost & Pricing
Ulthera is priced by the number of ultrasound lines used. Your quote depends on the area, laxity, and goals—most clients need one session, with optional yearly maintenance.
What To Expect
After cleansing, ultrasound gel is applied and we map treatment zones. You’ll feel brief warmth and pressure as energy is delivered. Treatment time is typically 45–90 minutes.
Mechanism of Action
Micro‑focused ultrasound heats targeted depths to trigger collagen remodeling, tightening existing fibers and building new support over weeks. Imaging helps place energy precisely where it counts.
Benefits & Results
Expect a natural-looking lift of the brow, jawline, and neck with smoother texture. Improvements build gradually, peaking around 2–6 months, and can last 12+ months for many clients.
Post-Treatment Care
You can return to most activities right away. Keep skin hydrated, use SPF daily, and avoid aggressive exfoliation for a few days. We’ll tailor skincare and follow-up to your plan.
Side Effects & Downtime
Downtime is minimal. Temporary tenderness, redness, swelling, or tingling can occur, especially along the jawline. Rarely, bruising or temporary nerve sensitivity may happen and resolves.

How Ulthera Works: Micro‑Focused Ultrasound Skin Tightening Without Surgery
Ulthera delivers micro‑focused ultrasound energy below the surface of the skin to targeted depths, creating controlled thermal points that stimulate collagen contraction and renewal. Because collagen is your skin’s “support scaffold,” strengthening it can improve laxity and create a lifting effect over time—especially through the brow, under the chin, and along the neck and jawline.
One of the key advantages of Ulthera is that it uses ultrasound imaging to help guide energy placement to the appropriate tissue depth. This supports precision and customization, which matters because the brow, jawline, and neck do not behave the same way—and neither do different skin thicknesses.

Ulthera vs. Other Non-Surgical Options: Choosing the Best Fit for Your Goals
Many Edmonton clients compare Ulthera with other tightening treatments and injectable approaches. The best option depends on what you want to change:
If your primary concern is laxity (skin “droop” or loss of firmness), Ulthera is often a strong fit because it focuses on deeper support layers and collagen remodeling. If your main concern is surface texture, enlarged pores, acne scarring, or fine lines, treatments like resurfacing or microneedling-based options may be more directly targeted. If volume loss is the issue (hollowing in cheeks or temples), dermal fillers may be more appropriate, sometimes combined with Ulthera for a balanced result.
If you’re deciding between a surgical facelift and Ulthera, the difference is scale. Surgery can create more dramatic repositioning. Ulthera is designed for subtle-to-moderate lift and tightening with minimal downtime, making it ideal for clients who want improvement but are not ready for surgery or do not want surgical recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ulthera the same thing as Ultherapy?
Yes. “Ulthera” is commonly used to describe the Ultherapy treatment/platform. In everyday use, people often say “Ulthera” when referring to the ultrasound lifting treatment that stimulates collagen to tighten and lift skin.
How many Ulthera treatments will I need?
Most clients start with one full treatment session. Depending on your degree of laxity, age-related collagen loss, and goals, a maintenance session may be recommended in 12–18 months. Your plan is individualized during consultation.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
Some clients notice a subtle tightening early, but the primary improvements typically develop gradually as collagen remodels—often over 2–6 months. Longevity varies, but many clients maintain results for 12 months or longer, with optional maintenance based on personal aging patterns.
Does Ulthera hurt? What does it feel like?
Sensation varies by area and individual sensitivity. Most people describe brief moments of heat, zapping, or deep pressure as energy is delivered. We focus on pacing, technique, and comfort strategies so you can complete treatment confidently.
What areas can be treated with Ulthera?
Common areas include the brow/forehead, under the chin, jawline/lower face, neck, and the décolletage (upper chest). The best areas for you depend on where laxity is present and where a lift will be most noticeable.
Who should avoid Ulthera?
Ulthera may not be appropriate if you are pregnant, have an active skin infection in the treatment area, have certain implanted medical devices, or have very advanced laxity where surgery is a better match. Your provider will review your medical history and confirm suitability before treatment.
