Ultherapy® in Canton, MA for a Non-Surgical Skin Lift
As we age, the skin naturally loses collagen and elasticity, which can contribute to sagging, fine lines, and a less defined appearance around the face and neck. If you want to improve skin firmness without undergoing surgery, Ultherapy® in Canton, MA, may be an option.
At Dream Spa Medical, Ultherapy® is used as a non-invasive treatment to help improve the appearance of lax skin on areas such as the face, neck, and décolletage. The treatment uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate the body’s natural collagen-building process, helping create firmer, smoother-looking skin over time.

Ultherapy Before & After
How Ultherapy® Works
One of the distinctive features of Ultherapy® is its use of ultrasound imaging. This technology allows your provider to visualize tissue beneath the skin and identify the appropriate treatment depth before delivering the energy.
Ultherapy® then uses focused ultrasound energy to create controlled thermal effects in targeted tissue. This process stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen and may gradually improve skin firmness and definition.
Unlike a surgical facelift, Ultherapy® does not require incisions or a lengthy recovery period. Results develop gradually as new collagen forms, with individual outcomes and longevity varying from person to person.
If you’re interested in Ultherapy® in Canton, MA, contact Dream Spa Medical to schedule a consultation and discover whether this non-surgical skin tightening treatment is right for your aesthetic goals.

Ultherapy isn’t a surgical treatment, so you won’t have to worry about any periods of downtime. However, the FDA-approved ultrasound process can result in some short-term side effects, like:
- Swelling
- Soreness
- Slight bruising
- Numbness
- Redness
- Tingling
At Dream Spa Medical, we pride ourselves on providing natural results. We do this by utilizing your body’s natural processes, like the production of elastin and collagen. Our commitment to natural-looking results may mean that the results take a bit longer to appear, but they will show gradually over time.
For many of our patients, the most prominent skin-lifting results appear around 3 months after the completion of their final Ultherapy session. It’s always important to note that every patient’s body is different, so you may notice Ultherapy’s effects sooner or later. You may also wish to schedule a second treatment for the best possible results.
Ultherapy is not a replacement for the traditional facelift. However, it does provide notable results, especially for those who aren’t interested in a surgical facelift. Your results may include a minimized double chin, better skin volume, smoother skin, and a younger appearance.
Ultherapy is a safe procedure, one that is FDA-approved to help reduce a double chin, fine lines, and wrinkles. It is also designed to lift and tighten skin for a refreshed appearance. The ultrasound method means that this treatment is precise. You won’t have to worry about our team members treating healthy tissue. If this all sounds good to you, then you should consider Ultherapy.
Ultherapy isn’t right for every patient. If you’re pregnant, this might not be the treatment for you. Additionally, if your skin laxity, lines, or wrinkles are particularly pronounced, then Ultherapy isn’t your best option. If you’d like to know more, schedule a consultation with our team.
Pre- and Post-Care Instructions for Ultherapy in Canton
- Women who are pregnant should not receive Ultherapy. If you are nursing and would like to pursue treatment, we ask that you consult your PCP for clearance.
- It is not mandatory to avoid sun exposure prior to your treatment. It is advised to be mindful of your sun exposure, as we do not want to treat overly compromised skin. We suggest always using a physical protectant SPF (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) and reapply throughout the day. We strongly recommend ISDIN Eryfotona Actinica and the ISDIN Mineral Brush for reapplying throughout the day.
- Please discontinue the use of all blood-thinning medications. This includes prescription medication that is indicated to thin the blood (please check with your physician prior to discontinuing any prescribed blood-thinning medication). We advise you to consider discontinuing Ibuprofen and fish oil 5 days prior to your procedure. This is not mandatory to perform the Ultherapy treatment, but it can lessen your risk of bruising.
- We suggest having your neuromodulator treatments performed either 2 weeks prior or 2 weeks after your Ultherapy procedure.
- Your provider will make a thorough plan with you as to what your rejuvenation journey will look like with Dream Spa Medical, keeping in mind that it is best to avoid Ultherapy treatments for at least 2 months after dermal filler injections.
- It is best for our female patients to schedule outside of their monthly cycle to avoid increased discomfort.
- We offer ProNox, a pain and anxiety coping treatment. Your provider can discuss further options with you if you require a more intensive pain reducing product.
- We advise taking 800mg of Tylenol 30 minutes prior to your appointment. We recommend avoiding anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen for at least 2 weeks after your treatment. NSAIDs of any kind increase the likelihood of bruising and interfere with the collagen stimulating process.
- You may consider Arnica tablet supplements 5 days prior to your appointment, to help reduce the possibility of prolonged bruising.
- We ask that if you are currently taking oral antibiotics or steroids, you stop taking the medication for 10 days prior to your appointment. If you have an upcoming appointment scheduled, we will be happy to reschedule.
- If you are currently taking or have taken Isotretinoin or any Accutane-type medications, we advise waiting at least 6 months before pursuing any cosmetic treatments.
- We always suggest hydrating as much as possible prior to any treatment at Dream Spa Medical. It is a great way to help your body to function at its best and will help to accelerate your healing time as well as enhance results.
- You can expect mild to moderate redness and a possible hive- or welting-like appearance on the skin. This should subside within 48 hours. Cool compresses may be applied to soothe the skin.
- Mild to moderate swelling can be expected. You can expect the swelling to subside within a week to 10 days.
- Tenderness to touch, tingling, and numbness are normal. This typically subsides in 3 to 4 weeks.
- Bruising is always a possibility. You may consider taking an Arnica oral supplement for 5 to 7 days post-treatment.
- If your forehead was treated, you may have a mild headache, stinging, or a hair-pulling sensation in your scalp following the treatment. When this occurs, it usually lasts less than 24 hours, but on rare occasions can continue to be sporadically bothersome for up to a week.
- You may immediately apply makeup following the treatment, and there are no post-procedure limitations on physical activity.
There are 2 phases of correction after Ultherapy. The first is collagen contracture, which is literally occurring as we perform the procedure. As a result, many patients will appreciate a subtle but distinct improvement in their appearance within a few days following the treatment. Ultimately, the more impressive correction is from collagen stimulation.
Your body responds to the controlled pinpoint thermal injuries placed in the deep tissue by creating new collagen fibers. Collagen fiber formation can take several months, so the final results from Ultherapy may take up to 6 months.
