Ultherapy PRIME

Get a truly personalized and lasting lift of the skin with Ultherapy PRIME. Offering real-time visualization for visible and natural-looking results, this goes beyond conventional procedures by tailoring the lift to your unique facial anatomy. It not only tightens sagging skin, but also improves its texture for a more youthful glow.

What is Ultherapy PRIME?

Ultherapy PRIME is a non-invasive treatment that delivers a personalized and lasting lift. It is the evolution of original Ultherapy, which is a US FDA-cleared device for non-surgical lifting of the skin on the brow, neck, chin, and décolletage. It kickstarts the body’s own collagen production to create a lift that is just for you.

Ultherapy PRIME enables doctors to see your unique needs to tailor a professional treatment for you. Just like the original device, it is also US FDA-cleared to lift your skin on the neck, under the chin, and on your brow, as well as smooth lines and wrinkles on the décolleté.

How does Ultherapy PRIME work?

Ultherapy PRIME uses microfocused ultrasound energy with enhanced real-time imaging to treat and target the same layers as a traditional face lift. It goes beneath the skin surface and works with your body's collagen-building process to restore the skin’s firmness and elasticity.

Ultherapy PRIME goes deeper with enhanced imaging technology that lets practitioners customize the treatment. This is beneficial for reaching the right skin layers where it will be most beneficial, stimulating the body’s collagen and elastin. It then leads to natural-looking results that gradually develop and can last a year or more.

Features include:

• US FDA-cleared ultrasound with vivid real-time imaging
• Long-lasting and natural-looking results
• Significant results after just one session
• 20% faster, treatment session compared with legacy Ultherapy
• A clinically proven non-invasive alternative for those who don’t want surgery

FAQs

Is Ultherapy PRIME safe?

Ultherapy PRIME builds upon the legacy of the original Ultherapy device as a non-surgical skin lifting treatment. It is US FDA-cleared and has a strong clinical body of evidence with more than 120 peer-reviewed publications. In addition, more than 3 million Ultherapy treatments have been performed worldwide.

What are the benefits of Ultherapy PRIME?

Microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) stimulates collagen and elastin production. This tightens sagging skin and smooths wrinkles on the neck and upper chest, resulting in a more lifted and energized appearance. Benefits include:

• Brow lifting – the treatment can help lift or elevate your brows for a more awake and refreshed look.
• Neck and jawline lifting – it provides firming and lifting of the neck, improving the appearance of jowls and sagging skin. This restores a more defined and youthful contour to the neck and jawline.
• Wrinkle reduction – it can improve skin texture by smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles on your neck and décolletage.
• Single treatment, lasting results – most patients only need one treatment to achieve desired results. The number of treatments required, of course, can still vary depending on the patient’s age, goals, and severity of skin concerns.

How does the treatment feel like?

It is normal to feel a sensation of heat and/or tingling during the procedure, but comfort levels vary from patient to patient. These sensations, however, are only present while the ultrasound energy is being delivered on the surface of the skin. Your aesthetic doctor will discuss your tailored treatment plan with you.

How is Ultherapy PRIME different from other skin lifting procedures?

Unlike other conventional skin lifting technologies, Ultherapy PRIME:

• Has vivid real-time imaging – this enables providers to go deeper to reach the right layers and deliver a truly, personalized lift.
• Treats different skin depths – the platform has patented DeepSEE® transducers that can treat various depths. These include the superficial dermis (1.5mm), deep dermis (3mm), and SMAS/platysma (4.5mm), and can extend to 8mm.
• Offers long-lasting results – it works with the body’s collagen-building process for visible and natural-looking results that can last for a year or more (depending on the patient).
• Promote safe and effective results – thanks to real-time imaging, the providers can evaluate the patient’s unique needs and select optimal depths to help make sure the treatment is safe and effective.
• Innovative technology – the new platform offers faster processing performance with improved features (than the original Ultherapy device). It offers the same natural and lasting results you love, all in just one session.

How soon will I see the results?

Initial improvements in the skin’s tightness and texture may be visible after the treatment, but full results take about two to three months to develop. It is important to keep in mind that since the procedure stimulates the body’s own collagen, results can vary from patient to patient.

How long do the results of Ultherapy PRIME last?

Most patients see significant results after just one session. One Ultherapy PRIME treatment can also deliver lasting effects for a year or more. A consultation with our aesthetic doctor will determine the number of treatments you need based on your individual profile.

Who is an ideal candidate for Ultherapy PRIME?

Good candidates include those who:

• Are displaying some degree of laxity
• Have loose skin under the neck and chin
• Have lines and wrinkles on the chest
• Have drooping eyebrows
• Are those in their 30s with mild to moderate laxity
• Want some facial lifting but are not ready for surgery
• Are looking for an aesthetic maintenance

Can Ultherapy PRIME replace a surgical facelift?

Ultherapy PRIME cannot replicate the results of a surgical facelift. It is, however, a good choice if you are not ready for surgery or want to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery. It is also a clinically proven non-invasive alternative for those who are not willing to go under the knife.

Is there downtime?

There is no downtime with Ultherapy PRIME. As it is a non-surgical treatment, you can return to your normal activities after the procedure following the instruction of your practitioner or aesthetic doctor.

Are there any side effects?

You may feel slight redness or tenderness following the treatment, but this is temporary and should subside after a few days. A consultation with an aesthetic doctor can help you learn what to expect before, during, and after the procedure.
