Ultherapy Body
Precision Ultrasound Lifting at Targeted Tissue Depths
Ultherapy Body deploys micro-focused ultrasound to deliver thermal energy at precise 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm tissue planes — stimulating deep collagen without surface heating, needles, or surgery. Lift and firm naturally with one Physician-Led treatment.
Ultherapy Body Treatment
Unlike radiofrequency devices that heat tissue from the surface inward, Ultherapy Body deposits focused ultrasound energy at discrete tissue depths — 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm — triggering collagen synthesis precisely where structural lift originates.

Depth-Targeted Lifting
Interchangeable micro-focused transducers place thermal energy at 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 mm tissue planes for genuine structural lift.
No Surface Heating
Ultrasound focal points bypass the epidermis entirely — skin surface stays cool while deep dermis and SMAS are stimulated.
Décolletage & Body Coverage
The shallow 1.5 mm transducer extends treatment to delicate décolletage and thin-skin areas where RF bulk heating is not well suited.
How MFU Differs from RF Body Devices
Ultherapy Body creates discrete thermal coagulation points at specific tissue depths using micro-focused transducers — a fundamentally different mechanism from monopolar RF bulk heating, which warms a broad volume from the surface down.
Three depth transducers
Interchangeable 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm heads independently target superficial dermis, deep dermis, and SMAS layer.
No skin-contact heating
Energy skips the epidermis entirely — the thermal effect occurs only at the ultrasound focal point, not at the skin surface.
Real-time ultrasound imaging
DeepSEE® visualization confirms actual tissue layer depths before each pulse, so energy lands at the intended plane.
HIFU collagen remodeling
Discrete focal thermal points trigger neocollagenesis over 2–3 months, progressively lifting and firming treated tissue from within.

Why Choose Our Clinic
Experience professional care with expert medical oversight and precise ultrasound depth targeting.
Depth-calibrated transducer selection
Dr. Jiang selects the appropriate 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, or 4.5 mm transducer for each body zone — ensuring ultrasound energy reaches the correct tissue plane, not just surface layers.
Physician-Led MFU system
Genuine Ultherapy hardware with verified transducer heads and full DeepSEE® imaging capability — not generic HIFU imitations lacking real-time tissue visualization.
Décolletage-inclusive planning
Our shallow-transducer protocols extend treatment to the upper chest and delicate areas where high-energy RF devices may not be appropriate.
Complementary to RF and injectables
MFU addresses deep structural lifting while RF or neuromodulator treatments address surface texture — layered protocols available when clinically appropriate.
Target Body Zones
Ultherapy Body's interchangeable transducers allow depth-matched treatment across body zones — from delicate décolletage at 1.5 mm to deep abdominal dermis at 4.5 mm.
Abdomen
The 4.5 mm transducer may address post-pregnancy or post-weight-loss laxity at the deep dermis and SMAS layer.
Upper Arms
Targets loose tricep-area skin at 3.0 mm depth to help lift and firm without surface heating.
Inner Thighs
Shallow transducer protocols may improve skin tone and reduce laxity in thinner inner-thigh skin.
Outer Thighs
Depth-targeted MFU may progressively improve outer thigh contour and firmness over 2–3 months.
Knees
The 1.5 mm transducer addresses crepey skin around the knees — a delicate zone well suited to focal ultrasound.
Flanks
Focused ultrasound energy deposited at depth may help tighten flank skin and improve waistline definition.
Your Body Transformation Journey
Our comprehensive treatment protocol ensures optimal results.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
Comprehensive body assessment, photography, and tissue-depth mapping
Review of medical history, any implants, and current health status
Avoid blood-thinning medications for 5-7 days prior
Discontinue retinoids and exfoliants 3-5 days before
Arrive with clean, treatment-area skin free of lotions or oils
Treatment Session
Skin Preparation
Cleanse treatment area and apply ultrasound coupling gel to ensure clean transducer contact and accurate imaging.
Ultrasound Mapping
DeepSEE® real-time imaging confirms tissue layer depths before selecting the correct transducer head for each zone.
Energy Delivery
Focused ultrasound pulses deposited systematically at calibrated 1.5, 3.0, or 4.5 mm depths across all target zones.
Treatment Completion
Final imaging review and tailored post-treatment care instructions specific to each treated zone.
Recovery & Results
Resume normal activities immediately — no surface heat restrictions apply as with RF treatments
Mild tenderness or transient redness at treatment sites, typically resolving within hours
Use prescribed moisturizers and broad-spectrum sunscreen on treated areas
Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for 24-48 hours
No saunas, hot tubs, or intense heat exposure for 1 week
**Individual results vary. Multiple treatment sessions may be recommended for optimal outcomes.
Frequently Asked
How long does Ultherapy Body treatment take?+
Treatment time varies by area and the number of depth passes required, typically ranging from 30–90 minutes. Using multiple transducer heads (1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 mm) to cover different tissue planes influences overall session length.
Is Ultherapy Body painful?+
Patients often feel brief, sharp heat sensations as each ultrasound focal point fires — different from the diffuse warmth associated with RF treatments. Topical numbing or analgesics can be applied beforehand to improve comfort.
How many treatments are needed for body tightening?+
Many patients see meaningful improvement after one session, as MFU deposits a high density of collagen-stimulating focal points per pass. Larger body areas or more advanced laxity may benefit from 2 sessions spaced 3–6 months apart.
When will I see results from Ultherapy Body?+
Unlike RF devices that contract existing collagen immediately, Ultherapy results emerge as new collagen forms at the stimulated tissue depths — typically 4–6 weeks for initial lift, 2–3 months for peak improvement, with gradual enhancement continuing to 6 months.
Can Ultherapy Body be combined with other treatments?+
Yes — MFU addresses structural depth-lifting while RF devices handle surface remodeling, so they may complement rather than duplicate each other. Combining with injectables or body contouring treatments can also be appropriate; we design layered protocols when clinically indicated.
How much does Ultherapy Body cost in Richmond BC?+
Ultherapy Body pricing at RAAC Richmond depends on the number of body zones treated and the transducer depth passes required — a knee-tightening protocol differs meaningfully in scope from full-abdomen or multi-zone arm and thigh treatment. Dr. Charles Jiang reviews your specific laxity concerns and designs a targeted transducer plan at consultation, so pricing is confirmed once your treatment zones and session count are determined.
