What is Ultherapy Prime?
Building on the legacy of its predecessor, Ultherapy, Ultherapy PRIME is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical treatment designed to lift and smooth the neck, under the chin, and brows, while reducing fine lines and wrinkles on the décolleté. This treatment uses ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production, resulting in tighter, more youthful skin.
Ultherapy PRIME is the only FDA-cleared skin-tightening and lifting device that features real-time visualisation. This technology allows your doctor to assess your skin before treatment and precisely deliver ultrasound energy to targeted areas. Through this customised approach, Ultherapy PRIME can deliver:
Precise and consistent energy to reach collagen-rich tissue layers
Visualise tissue targeting to avoid non-target tissues, such as bones and vessels
Thereby, minimising discomfort during treatment
What can Ultherapy Prime treat?
Ultherapy Prime is primarily used to treat signs of aging on the face, jawline, under chin, neck and brow. This includes sagging skin, wrinkles, fine lines, and drooping eyelids. It can also help improve the appearance of a double chin.
The procedure is especially effective for individuals who are experiencing early signs of aging or have mild to moderate skin laxity. It can also be used as a preventative measure for those who want to maintain their youthful appearance.
Additionally, Ultherapy Prime has been known to improve the overall texture and firmness of the skin, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Ultherapy Prime helps to trigger the body’s natural regenerative response, boosts collagen production to lift and tighten the skin, providing long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Most patients experience a gradual improvement over 2–3 months, with results that can last up to a year or more.
What makes Ultherapy Prime different from traditional Ultherapy?
Ultherapy Prime: The Upgrade
Enhanced Visualisation
Ultherapy Prime features a 35% larger screen and a 2x wider ultrasound field, offering clearer, more detailed real-time imaging of the skin’s layers — down to a depth of 8mm. This enhanced visualisation allows practitioners to accurately target key foundational layers like the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System), resulting in consistent outcomes.
Faster Treatment Time
Thanks to improved energy delivery algorithms and streamlined transducers, Ultherapy Prime cuts treatment time by approximately 20–40% compared to the legacy system. Full-face sessions now take just 45–60 minutes, down from 90–120 minutes.
Greater Comfort, Less Downtime
How it works:
- Both treatments utilise ultrasound technology to penetrate deep beneath the skin, triggering collagen regeneration without affecting the surface layer. This process gradually lifts and tightens the skin over time.
- Ultherapy Prime takes this further by using micro-focused energy to target deep skin layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production more effectively. This leads to enhanced skin renewal, lifting, and tightening from within.
Enhanced Features of Ultherapy Prime:
- Ultherapy Prime includes features such as a larger screen and real-time imaging, allowing for better visualisation and more in-depth delivery into the collagen-rich layers. These enhancements provide a more targeted treatment experience, ensuring precision and effectiveness.
Benefits:
- Ultherapy provides a holistic approach to anti-aging, addressing multiple areas in a single session, which can be advantageous for those seeking a complete facial lift.
- Ultherapy Prime offers enhanced performance and power, making it a more comfortable and quicker treatment than traditional Ultherapy. It excels in delivering a smoother experience tailored to individual skin needs, ensuring optimal results, especially in sensitive regions.
Considerations:
- Both treatments are non-invasive and require no downtime, making them a great options for busy individuals.
- Potential patients should consider their specific skin concerns and desired outcomes when choosing between the two. Consulting with a licensed practitioner can provide personalised advice to ensure optimal results.
How does Ultherapy Prime work?
Ultherapy Prime uses focused ultrasound energy to penetrate deep into the layers of the skin. This energy then stimulates the production of collagen, which is a protein responsible for keeping our skin firm and youthful-looking. As we age, our body produces less collagen, leading to sagging and wrinkles.
Ultherapy Prime helps to trigger the body’s natural regenerative response, boosts collagen production to lift and tighten the skin, providing long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Most patients experience a gradual improvement over 2–3 months, with results that can last up to a year or more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Both treatments use ultrasound energy to stimulate the skin’s natural collagen production, resulting in gradual skin firming. Ultherapy Prime has updated imaging and delivery features that allow for more targeted energy delivery to the deeper skin layers, making the treatment tailored to individual needs.
Ultherapy Prime works by encouraging your skin to produce new collagen, which helps restore firmness and lift gradually. Everyone’s response is a little different, so your results may vary depending on factors like age and skin condition.
It’s natural to wonder if Ultherapy is the right investment for you. The treatment works by stimulating your body’s own collagen to lift and firm the skin gradually, without surgery. Whether it feels “worth it” often depends on your goals, skin condition, and expectations. A consultation with your doctor can help you understand what results are realistic for you and whether Ultherapy is a suitable option.
It’s common to feel some warmth or tingling as the ultrasound energy is delivered. With Ultherapy Prime, the updated design aims to make the procedure comfortable, and many patients describe it as tolerable. If you’re concerned about discomfort, your doctor can discuss ways to help manage it.
Many people observe visible changes after a single session. Because collagen naturally breaks down with age, touch-up treatments are usually considered after 12 to 18 months. Your doctor will guide you on the timing that suits your skin.
Generally patients only need one session at a time, since collagen continues to build for several months after treatment. If a repeat session is needed, it is typically done after 12 to 18 months, depending on your skin and how it ages.
Ultherapy Prime delivers ultrasound energy into the deeper layers of the skin, where it stimulates collagen. Over the next few months, this can make the skin feel firmer and look lifted in areas such as the face, neck, and chest. The degree of change is different for each person, and your doctor can help set realistic expectations.
The number of shots, also called ultrasound “lines,” varies for each person. It depends on the area being treated and your skin’s needs. For example, treating just the eyebrows may require fewer lines, while the full face and neck would use additional lines. Your doctor will guide you on how many lines are suitable for you during consultation.
Ultherapy results are not permanent because our skin continues to age naturally. Generally people enjoy the lifting and firming effects for about 12 months or longer, and some may notice benefits lasting longer. To maintain results, touch-up sessions can be done as recommended by your doctor.
Patients enjoy the lifting and firming effects of Ultherapy for 12 months or longer. The exact duration varies from person to person, depending on age, skin condition, and lifestyle.
