Is Ultherapy worth the trip from Vancouver to Burnaby?
That depends on your goals, and a physician assessment decides whether Ultherapy suits you. Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to heat deeper skin layers and prompt gradual tightening. Skin Art MD is a physician-led skin clinic at Metrotown in Burnaby, reached from Vancouver on the Expo Line. The session itself can take 60 to 90 minutes.
People in Vancouver asking about Ultherapy are usually weighing three things: whether their degree of skin laxity suits an ultrasound treatment, how long the visit takes, and whether the journey is worth it. The assessment is where those questions are answered for your own face.
Ultherapy is generally discussed for mild to moderate laxity, such as a lowering brow line, a softening jawline, or looseness under the chin and neck. Some people feel tightening soon afterwards, while visible change builds gradually and is typically more apparent around three to six months as the skin responds. More pronounced sagging may call for other approaches, which the physician will talk through with you.
What a visit involves
Plan on a visit that includes the assessment as well as the treatment itself.
Book your visit
Book online or call +1 (604) 639-2581. Say that you are coming from Vancouver and which language you prefer, and plan around opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 18:00.
Physician assessment
A physician looks at where and how much the skin has loosened, reviews your medical history, and checks for reasons to wait or choose differently, such as open wounds or severe cystic acne in the area, an implanted metal device, or pregnancy.
Treatment
Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup and skincare products. Ultrasound is delivered with imaging guidance. You may feel heat or a deep tingling at specific depths, and the team can talk through comfort options beforehand.
Heading home
Most people resume normal activities the same day. Temporary redness, mild swelling, tingling or tenderness are possible and usually settle over hours to a few weeks.
Can I go back to work in Vancouver the same day?
Honest expectations make it easier to plan the rest of your day.
The same afternoon
Most people return to normal activities the same day. Some notice warm skin or mild redness for a few hours.
If your job is client-facing
Temporary redness or swelling can show. If you have an important meeting or event, mention it at your assessment so the timing can be planned around it.
Skincare and sun
Keep skincare gentle for the early days and use daily sun protection. The team gives you aftercare instructions specific to your visit.
How results develop
Some tightening may be felt soon after treatment, and visible change builds gradually, typically becoming more apparent around three to six months. Results vary from person to person.

Questions from Vancouver Clients
How do I get to Skin Art MD from Vancouver?+
Take the Expo Line SkyTrain to Metrotown Station. The clinic is at #101 – 4378 Beresford St, Burnaby, BC V5H 0H6. TransLink's trip planner shows the route from wherever you start in Vancouver.
Can I return to work in Vancouver after Ultherapy?+
Most people resume normal activities the same day. Temporary redness, swelling, tingling or tenderness can occur, so if your work involves a lot of face-to-face contact, ask at your assessment what to expect.
How long should I set aside for the visit?+
The treatment can take 60 to 90 minutes depending on the areas treated, plus time for the assessment and your travel. The physician confirms the plan at the visit.
When will I see a difference?+
Some people feel tightening soon after treatment. Visible change builds gradually and is typically more apparent around three to six months. Results commonly last around one to two years, depending on your biology, skin quality and ageing, and individual results vary.
What are the clinic hours, and how do I book?+
The clinic is open Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 18:00, and closed Monday. Book online or call +1 (604) 639-2581, and mention if you would like Chinese-language support.
Does Ultherapy hurt?+
Discomfort varies. Most people describe intermittent deep heat or tingling as energy is delivered. Comfort options, such as a topical numbing cream or an oral pain reliever, may be discussed before treatment, and comfort is checked throughout the session.
How many treatments will I need?+
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. The physician discusses a realistic plan at your assessment, based on your degree of laxity; individual results vary.
Who should not have Ultherapy, or should wait?+
Treatment is not offered during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or over active infection, open wounds or severe inflammatory acne in the area. Certain implanted devices or metal in the treatment area, recent procedures or injectables in the same area, and very advanced laxity where surgery may be discussed all need the physician's review first.
What are the possible side effects?+
Common effects are temporary redness, swelling and tenderness; slight swelling, tenderness or tingling can last from a few days to a few weeks. Less commonly, bruising or temporary numbness can occur, and rarely a temporary nerve-related effect has been reported. The physician reviews the risks with you first.
Can I have Ultherapy if I have fillers?+
Usually yes. Bring your injection and procedure history to the assessment so the physician can map treatment zones and timing around it. Ultherapy works on structural layers rather than adding or removing volume, and the physician discusses what to expect before treatment.
