Ultherapy Prime

Focused ultrasound lifting that reaches the deep SMAS layer.

What it is

Ultherapy Prime is the latest generation of Ultherapy, a micro-focused ultrasound (MFU) lifting treatment. It is the only non-surgical lifting technology that reaches the SMAS layer — the same structural layer addressed in surgical facelifts.

How it works

Focused ultrasound energy is delivered to precise depths (typically 1.5mm, 3.0mm and 4.5mm), with real-time imaging that lets the practitioner see exactly which layer is being treated. The thermal points created at depth trigger a collagen-building response that lifts and tightens skin over time.

Who it’s for

It is popular with patients who notice sagging along the jawline, brow or neck and want meaningful lifting without surgery. Treatment planning matters — the number of lines and their placement should be designed around each individual face, not sold as a fixed package.

What to expect

A full-face session takes around 60–90 minutes. Some tenderness or mild swelling can occur for a few days. Lifting develops progressively over two to three months and typically lasts a year or longer.

Recovery & aftercare

No bandages or recovery period are needed. Mild swelling, tingling or tenderness can persist for a few days to a few weeks, but normal activities can resume straight away.

FAQ

How is Ultherapy different from Thermage?
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to reach the deeper SMAS layer, while Thermage uses radiofrequency for the dermis — the two are complementary.

How long until I see lifting?
Results develop gradually over two to three months as new collagen forms.

Is one session enough?
Typically yes, with treatment repeated roughly once a year to maintain the result.
