Ever had one of those moments staring in the mirror, thinking your face could use a little lift? Yeah, me too. Between Calgary’s dry weather, stress, and the inevitable march of time, our skin can lose its glow… and sometimes a bit of that “snatched” shape.
One of the solutions I found for that was High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). It’s not invasive, but it gives you that instant lift, thus the moniker “lunchtime facelift.”
But I’m quite picky about who touches my skin, so I didn’t go to the first clinic that popped up in my Google search. Instead, I researched. I talked to locals, dug through forums, and compared the track record of top clinics in the city.
After much search, I finally got a list of the best clinics for HIFU treatment in Calgary. And of course, I’m sharing that list here to help you turn saggy into snatched!
How much can you expect to pay for HIFU treatment in Calgary?
The average cost for a full face and neck HIFU treatment in Calgary is between $3,000 to $4,500 CAD. You can also target specific problem areas like the brow or upper lip for $500 to $1,000 CAD.

1. YYC Botox & Fillers

Most of the friends I asked about where they get beauty treatments pointed me to YYC Botox & Fillers. After looking into the clinic, it’s easy to understand why.
For starters, they offer an extensive selection of services, from HIFU to NAD+ Boosters.
Their HIFU treatment is especially popular because they use the latest HIFU machine to stimulate collagen production in the face. The results last long too, something lasting up to 18 months.
I also heard from several clients that the clinic’s staff are among the most professional you can find in Calgary. Clients love that they explain procedures properly, which helps to alleviate the anxiety of undergoing them.
YYC’s services might be on the pricier side, though, which is the only disadvantage that I saw. But if you don’t mind paying a premium to get premium services, then YYC is definitely a top contender on this list.
I’m really happy with the results and would definitely come back.
“I had a really good experience here. The staff took their time to explain everything clearly and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. The treatment itself was gentle and I never felt rushed. What stood out most was how genuinely caring everyone was before, during, and after my appointment. It’s rare to find a place that listens this closely and follows up to make sure everything is going well.”

This is the only botox/filler/skin treatment place I will ever go to.
“My go-to specialist is Doctor Xu, and she has been amazing for the past 3 years. I have 0 complaints about her work, and she is also incredibly reasonable and empathetic. I would also comment more recently that the nurse/injector Alexis is also a dream and super supportive. She trained with Dr. Xu and helped me stay calm during some of my more painful/anxiety inducing injections. Thanks again to the YYC Botox Team.

Business hours:
- Monday to Friday: 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM
- Saturday:10:00 AM to 4:00 PM

Alexis Medi Spa stood out for how thorough their process is. They start every session with a consultation with one of their aestheticians who not only analyses skin but also asks questions to better understand their clients’ skincare routine.
They then come up with a custom treatment plan for each patient. For HIFU treatments, they use a state-of-the-art machine that delivers powerful ultrasound energy that stimulates collagen production.
That’s probably why many of the clients I talked to noticed a huge difference in my face from the first session. Some even shared that they received compliments for looking younger after just a couple of sessions.
Alexis Medi Spa’s team is also professional and accommodating. Clients shared that they always took the time to talk to them to really understand their problems.
Some of them even said their aesthetician followed up with them after the procedure to ask how they felt and whether they had any questions, which was a sweet gesture.
We felt comfortable and well taken care of
“My Mom and I had a treatment with Alex today, and she was amazing. She is very kind, caring, and knowledgeable. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made personalised plans for both of us. We felt comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend her.

Alexis is a professional who is phenomenal at her job
“The results from her work are incredible, and they are visibly seen as promised. Prices are reasonable, and she ensures that you are satisfied with your treatment. Alexis is motivated, dedicated, and has willingness in her to help you reach your goals with treatment. If you are looking for promising and effective results, I would strongly recommend Alexis Medi Spa!”

3. Faces Skin Clinic
Address: #2230 68 St. NE #201
Contact Details: +1 587 524 4005
Business hours: 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM daily
Faces Skin Clinic may be one of the lesser-known clinics on this list, but they truly wowed with their impeccable brand of service.
What really impressed me when I walked into their clinic was how they accommodated me right off the bat. I just booked an appointment, and they started by analysing my skin to know if HIFU is the right treatment for me.
The technicians at this clinic are highly trained, so you can be confident they know exactly what they’re doing. In fact, most of their clients say they come back here because of how well they’re treated by the clinic’s specialists and technicians.
Faces also takes pride in having medical-grade ultrasound machines that not only guarantee the best results but also the safety of their procedures.
Perhaps the only downside to visiting Faces is that their location is not as easily accessible as the other clinics on this list. But if you don’t mind taking the trip, it’s definitely worth your time.
The whole team here in this skin clinic is so fantastic!
“They even accommodated us even if it is short notice coz we are actually tourists here in Alberta. Sarah is very professional and she made sure we are well taken cared of. Zinah did a wonderful skin care treatment for hydrafacial and did an excellent job for both me and my spouse’s HIFU treatment. Overall, it was a highly satisfactory experience, looking forward for great short and long term results! All the best and more success to your business! Thank you for the wonderful and impeccable service!

I had a great experience with the technician.
“Zinah who assisted me was incredibly friendly, patient, and professional throughout the entire visit. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I understood the work being done. Her positive attitude and approachable manner made the whole process easy and stress-free. I truly appreciate the quality of service and the care she showed. Highly recommended! Thank you so much Zinah and looking forward on my next visit.

4. New Skin YYC Laser & Skincare

Contact Details: +1 587 857 5407
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM
- Saturday: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
- Sunday: 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM
I love New Skin YYC Laser & Skincare for several reasons. For one, I love their minimalist interiors, which bring a sense of calm and put me in the mood for my HIFU treatment.
New Skin is also home to a team of board-certified injectors, licensed aestheticians, and laser technicians. I feel really reassured that they have professionals who really know what they’re doing, whether it’s laser hair removal or HIFU treatment.
I was also impressed that you can choose your practitioner when booking. This means that if you’re already comfortable with one of their technicians, you can choose them for every single appointment.
New Skin is also an expert in both HIFU and RF microneedling techniques.
In fact, they’re one of only a few clinics in Calgary to carry both the Exion RF and Morpheus8 microneedling devices. These are two of the most revolutionary machines for aesthetic procedures today.
She is my secret weapon for maintaining my skin’s health and radiancy.
“Shout out to Mackenzie at New Skin YYC. She is my secret weapon for maintaning my skin’s health and radiancy, especially during the dry winter months. I’ve just finished the first of three micro needling sessions. She takes great care of my skin and is a pro at what she does. Here’s a pic of my skin directly after the session. Can’t wait to see my skin glow in a couple of weeks.”

Loved my experience at New Skin YYC Medical Spa!
“The spa has a great ambience, and Eillish was wonderful. She took time to understand my concerns, gave me honest advice, and recommended a treatment that actually worked – I noticed a real difference in my skin. She even followed up afterward to check on my healing, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be back!”

5. Natology Medi Spa
Address: Addison House 507 18 Ave SW
Phone: +1 403 764 3600
Business hours:
- Tuesday and Friday: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM
- Wednesday and Thursday: 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM
- Saturday: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
- Closed on Sunday and Monday
What separates this clinic from everyone else on this list is that it not only focuses on medical aesthetics but also on functional wellness. This is because their owners believe that beauty should be holistic and that it should come from the inside out.
Natology specialises in a wide range of beauty treatments, backed by science and performed by experts.
Their HIFU treatment is especially a hit because of how it helps to reduce the early signs of ageing. His procedure also works on all skin types, and you don’t need to undergo surgery just to address the sagging on your face.
Natology also combines its HIFU with signature facials and chemical peels to give you snatched, glowing skin, especially in your late 30s.
This is why it’s not surprising that some of their clients have been going to the clinic for more than 5 years.
Hands down my fave place to go!
“The team is welcoming, professional and knowledgeable in skincare, health and wellness. I have been seeing Natasha for over 5 years and I have never felt so comfortable in my skin without makeup. I get many compliments on how great my face looks and I owe it all to her. I trust her recommendations on products for aftercare/homecare.”

Natology is amazing!
“Not only are the services phenomenal, but the customer service as well. I have had to reschedule a lot of my treatments at Natology, and the staff have been beyond accommodating, and make me feel so welcome every time. It’s hard a clinic like this where the services are A+, and the staff members are all exceptional.”
