Ultherapy Prime
Ultherapy Prime, the advanced version of Ultherapy, is a non-invasive skin tightening and lifting treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy with real-time imaging to stimulate collagen production in specific, delicate facial areas. It is especially designed for better precision, comfort, and efficient results with minimal downtime, targeting regions such as the brow, under-eye, jawline, and mouth to refine fine lines and sagging skin.
What is Ultherapy Prime?
Ultherapy Prime is a next-generation version of Ultherapy, specialised for treating smaller and delicate zones such as around the eyes and mouth.
- It employs focused ultrasound waves at three depths: superficial skin, dermis, and the deep SMAS layer (the target of surgical facelifts).
- The upgraded system features a streamlined delivery, shorter treatment time, and a redesigned handpiece for enhanced comfort.
- It is FDA-approved and suitable for all skin types with no surgical recovery required.
How Ultherapy Prime Works
- Real-time imaging feature of Ultherapy Prime ensures the practitioner is targeting the correct tissue layers for each zone.
- Ultrasound energy reaches the foundational skin layers, stimulating natural collagen production deep within the tissue.
- This treatment offers dual effects; firstly, it immediately tightens from tissue contraction and provides progressive improvements as collagen rebuilds over months.
- It is safe and can be performed in-office with only topical numbing required; most patients find it comfortably tolerable.
Benefits of Ultherapy Prime
- It lifts and tightens the skin on the brow, jawline, neck, and décolletage, helping reduce fine lines, sagging, and wrinkles.
- Immediate visible firming, with continued improvement up to 20–30% right after treatment; best results appear over 2–6 months.
- No downtime, allowing rapid return to daily activities, including makeup and work.
- Long-lasting results with effects maintained for 12–18 months, often with annual repeat treatments for maintenance.
- Enhanced precision for delicate areas, superior comfort, and efficiency compared to the original Ultherapy.
