Ultherapy PRIME
Known as a gold standard in non-invasive skin lifting, this innovative procedure uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to stimulate the body's natural collagen production, providing a gradual and natural-looking lift to areas such as the face, neck, brow, chin, and décolletage.
Ultherapy PRIME is the leading FDA-cleared non-surgical treatment using advanced high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin.
What is Ultherapy PRIME
Imaging-guided lifting.
Ultherapy PRIME treatments incorporate patented DeepSEE® ultrasound imaging, which allows practitioners to visualise the deep layers of the skin during the procedure. This procedure makes it possible to have highly customised treatment tailored to your unique skin concerns and delivers noticeable results without disrupting the skin's surface.
Ultherapy PRIME offers reliable and alternative solutions for those experiencing moderate skin laxity or looking to maintain their youthful appearance without going for surgery. With minimal downtime and no recovery period required, it's the perfect non-surgical solution for a natural, rejuvenated appearance.
How Ultherapy PRIME works
Down to the SMAS layer.
Ultherapy PRIME uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to reach the deep layers of the skin, particularly the dermis and the foundational Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS) layer. This approach distinguishes it from other non-invasive treatments that primarily address the skin's surface.
The patented DeepSEE® technology incorporates a real-time visualisation of the skin's layers during the procedure. Due to that the practitioners are in a position to accurately target specific areas, ensuring precision and safety throughout the treatment.
The focused ultrasound energy generates heat at precise depths, reaching temperatures optimal for collagen denaturation and subsequent neocollagenesis. As a result of this thermal effect, the body initiates a natural healing response, leading to the formation of new collagen and elastin fibres.
Over time, the newly produced collagen and elastin fibres work to lift and tighten the skin, reducing the appearance of sagging skin and enhancing overall firmness. Patients typically observe improvements within two to three months, with continued enhancement up to six months post-treatment.

Treatments with Ultherapy PRIME
What the device is used for.
Ultherapy PRIME is a non-surgical treatment designed to address a range of aesthetic concerns. It provides a gradual and natural enhancement to the skin.
Ultherapy PRIME helps to lift and tighten the upper and lower face, including the brow area, restoring definition and reducing the appearance of drooping skin. This creates a more youthful appearance while maintaining a natural look.
For those experiencing skin laxity or loose skin around the neck and chin, Ultherapy provides a non-invasive alternative to a neck lift, effectively lifting and firming these areas without downtime.
The treatment addresses the delicate skin on the décolletage, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging while improving overall skin texture and firmness.
Ultherapy is fully customisable to suit individual needs, focusing on areas with moderate skin laxity or where signs of ageing are most prominent. During an initial consultation, your practitioner will assess your skin tissue and create a personalised plan to achieve the best results.

Comparing Ultherapy PRIME to previous Ultherapy models
What changed with PRIME.
Ultherapy PRIME represents the latest innovation in non-invasive skin lifting and tightening technology, building on the foundation of its predecessor with significant advancements. While both versions harness micro-focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production, Ultherapy PRIME delivers a more refined and patient-centred experience.
One of the key distinctions of Ultherapy PRIME is its enhanced precision. This upgraded version utilises advanced imaging and delivery systems, allowing practitioners to target specific layers of skin with greater accuracy. This improvement not only enhances treatment outcomes but also reduces discomfort during the procedure. Additionally, Ultherapy PRIME incorporates advanced comfort management technology, making the experience significantly more tolerable for patients compared to earlier models.
Ultherapy PRIME introduces a more tailored approach to skin rejuvenation. Its advanced settings allow for customisable treatment depths and energy levels, ensuring that each session is optimised to the individual's unique skin needs and concerns. This marks a major improvement from the previous version, which had a more generalised approach to treatment areas.
Efficiency is another area where Ultherapy PRIME excels. With quicker treatment times and reduced recovery periods, patients can enjoy the benefits of collagen stimulation with minimal disruption to their daily routines. The new system's streamlined process ensures faster delivery of results without compromising efficacy, setting it apart from its predecessor.
Ultherapy PRIME reflects a significant leap forward in aesthetic technology, offering a superior alternative to previous models. Patients can expect enhanced comfort, precision, and customisation, making it the ideal choice for achieving natural, long-lasting lifting and tightening results.

Frequently asked questions
Ultherapy PRIME FAQs.
Ultherapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin. It is FDA-cleared and targets the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating natural collagen production for long-lasting results.
Ultherapy delivers micro-focused ultrasound energy to the deep layers of the skin. This process triggers the body's natural collagen-building process, helping to firm and tighten skin gradually over time.
Ultherapy is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who are seeking a non-surgical skin lifting solution. An initial consultation is recommended to determine if it's the proper treatment for your needs.
For most patients, just one treatment is sufficient to achieve noticeable improvements for a year. However, follow-up sessions may be recommended based on individual goals and the degree of skin laxity.
Yes, Ultherapy PRIME complements other aesthetic treatments, such as dermal fillers. While Ultherapy focuses on lifting and tightening the deeper layers of the skin, fillers can address volume loss, creating a more fresh and natural look.
Ultherapy PRIME is a non-invasive treatment, meaning there is no downtime. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the session, making it a convenient choice for those with busy lifestyles.
Ultherapy PRIME works by stimulating your own skin to produce more collagen and elastin. That will make the skin firm and will provide youthful-looking improvements over time. This natural process ensures long-lasting results that reflect your own skin's rejuvenation.
Ultherapy treatment stands out as it uses advanced ultrasound technology to target deep layers of the skin, such as the SMAS layer, where collagen production is stimulated. Unlike other non-invasive skin tightening treatments that work on the surface, the ultrasound treatment in Ultherapy delivers precise energy to the foundational layers, ensuring effective lifting and tightening without downtime.
The Ultherapy procedure is unique because it incorporates patented DeepSEE® ultrasound imaging, allowing practitioners to visualise the skin's deeper layers during the ultrasound treatment. This ensures the energy is delivered precisely to where it will be most effective, enhancing both safety and results for a customised skin rejuvenation experience.
