What Is Ultherapy Prime in Burnaby?
Ultherapy Prime is a non-surgical treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound to heat tissue at set depths beneath the skin, prompting collagen renewal. At Skin Art MD in Burnaby (Metrotown), DeepSEE imaging helps plan treatment on the jawline, brow, neck and lower face. Changes build gradually over about three to six months.
We do not treat every face with the same template. Tissue laxity, facial proportions and your aesthetic preference are assessed first, then treatment lines are mapped with DeepSEE visualization so energy reaches the intended layers. Whether Ultherapy suits you is decided at a physician assessment.
Profile definition
Aimed at jawline transition and lower-face support.
Brow and upper face
Treatment near the brow can support the eye area.
Neck continuity
Neck laxity can be planned together with the face.
How Does Ultherapy Prime Work?
Ultherapy Prime combines imaging with controlled ultrasound energy delivery.
DeepSEE imaging
Imaging helps confirm tissue layers before each treatment pass.
Depth strategy
Protocols can combine 4.5 mm, 3.0 mm and 1.5 mm depths, depending on goals.
Structured line planning
Line count and direction are planned to match your anatomy.
Collagen renewal
Small points of thermal energy prompt gradual collagen renewal over the following months.

How much does Ultherapy cost in Burnaby?+
Cost depends on the areas treated and the planned lines. We do not publish prices online; the physician assessment confirms your plan and the cost.
Where can I get Ultherapy near Burnaby or Vancouver?+
Skin Art MD is at #101 – 4378 Beresford St, Burnaby (Metrotown), near Metrotown SkyTrain Station on the Expo Line. Hours are Tuesday to Sunday 10:00–18:00, closed Monday. Phone +1 (604) 639-2581.
Does Ultherapy hurt?+
Discomfort varies. Most people describe intermittent deep heat or tingling. Comfort options are discussed before treatment. Options such as a topical numbing cream or an oral pain reliever may be discussed, and comfort is checked throughout the session.
Ultherapy or Thermage, which is for me?+
They work differently. Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound at set depths; Thermage uses radiofrequency to warm the skin more broadly. A physician assessment decides, and some plans stage both.
How long do Ultherapy results take to show?+
Changes are gradual: some people notice early tightening within weeks, with more visible change around three to six months. Results vary.
Will Ultherapy make my face look hollow?+
Ultherapy works on structural layers rather than adding or removing volume. Mapping is planned around your anatomy, and the physician discusses expectations first.
Can I have Ultherapy if I have fillers?+
Usually yes. Your injection history is reviewed and treatment zones are mapped accordingly.
How long does an Ultherapy Prime session take?+
A session typically takes 60–90 minutes for the face and neck. A single smaller area, such as the brow or under-chin, takes less time. The length depends on the areas mapped at your assessment, and treatment lines are planned from your anatomy and goals rather than a fixed template.
Is there downtime after Ultherapy?+
Most people resume normal activities the same day. Temporary redness or tenderness is possible. Slight swelling, tenderness or tingling can last from a few days to a few weeks. Use gentle skincare and daily sunscreen until redness and tenderness settle.
How many Ultherapy treatments will I need, and how long do results last?+
Usually one session is planned, and some people choose a repeat session about once a year to maintain the result. Results commonly last around one to two years, depending on your biology, skin quality and ageing. The physician discusses a realistic plan at assessment; individual results vary.
Is Skin Art MD in Burnaby accessible by transit, and are consultations available in Mandarin or Cantonese?+
Yes. The clinic is near Metrotown SkyTrain Station on the Expo Line, and consultations are available in English, Mandarin and Cantonese.
What are the possible side effects of Ultherapy?+
Common effects are temporary redness, swelling and tenderness. Less commonly, bruising or temporary numbness or tingling can occur, and rarely a temporary nerve-related effect has been reported. The physician reviews risks and who should not be treated, and explains what to do if something concerns you, before you decide.
