Ultherapy PRIME®

Ultherapy Prime – medically proven skin tightening without invasive treatment


Ultherapy Prime represents the latest advancement in non-invasive skin lifting. The treatment uses precisely targeted micro-focused ultrasound energy to stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin in the deeper layers of the skin. The result is firmer, lifted tissue without needles, surgery or downtime.

The effects develop gradually over the following weeks and months as the skin becomes more structured, firm and defined. Ultherapy Prime is an excellent choice for treating the first signs of skin laxity and for maintaining firmness in the long term.

General

Ultherapy Prime is a modern option for anyone seeking improved firmness and definition without injections or surgical procedures. The treatment works by delivering focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the deeper layers of the skin – the same tissue layers targeted in surgical facelifts, but in a completely non-invasive way.

Who is the treatment suitable for?
Ultherapy Prime is ideal if you have started to notice early signs of skin laxity or if you wish to maintain a naturally youthful appearance. The treatment is suitable for all skin types and for adults of all ages who want improved skin firmness and clarity without recovery time.
Results and effects
The skin often feels immediately tighter, while deeper firming continues for several months as new collagen develops naturally. The best results are typically visible within 2–3 months and can last for a year or longer.

FAQ's

How does Ultherapy Prime work?

The treatment uses micro-focused ultrasound energy, which is precisely delivered into the deeper layers of the skin. This energy triggers a natural increase in collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer skin and a lifting effect without surgery.

Is Ultherapy PRIME® safe?

More than 3 million Ultherapy treatments have been safely performed worldwide, and the technology is FDA-cleared. Ultrasound has been used in medicine for over 50 years.
Results have been independently verified in over 110 studies and publications (including 60 peer-reviewed papers and 50 clinical studies). Ultherapy is therefore a reliably safe choice.

What does the treatment feel like?

You may feel brief warmth or a mild tingling sensation as the ultrasound energy is delivered into the tissue. These sensations are manageable and do not require numbing. Many clients describe the feeling as a sign that collagen is being activated.

Who is the treatment suitable for?

Ultherapy Prime is a great option for those noticing the first signs of skin laxity on the face or neck, and for anyone wishing to prevent visible ageing without injections or surgery.

When will I see results, and how long do they last?

You may notice a subtle tightening effect immediately after treatment, but the most visible improvement develops over the next 3–6 months as weakened collagen is replaced with new, stronger collagen. The collagen-boosting effect of Ultherapy has been scientifically proven.
Results can last a year or longer, as the treatment improves the skin’s structure gradually over time.

Is Ultherapy PRIME the same as HIFU?

Many people think HIFU and Ultherapy are identical, but they use different types of ultrasound.
In aesthetic medicine, two ultrasound technologies are used: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), primarily used for medical purposes
Micro-focused ultrasound (MFU), which delivers highly precise energy to specific layers of the skin
HIFU devices do not use real-time imaging. This means the practitioner cannot visualise the exact tissue layers being treated.

Can I return to work immediately after the treatment?

Yes. Ultherapy Prime requires no downtime. The skin may feel slightly warm or sensitive for a short time, but you can return to your normal activities straight away.

What is the recovery time?

Unlike many other treatments, such as laser or microneedling with radiofrequency, you can continue your usual routine immediately after Ultherapy.
Mild tenderness in the treated area can occur for a few days up to two weeks, which is a normal sign of tissue response.
We recommend avoiding heat-based activities – such as saunas, hot tubs and intense exercise – for a couple of days.
For the first week, use gentle, non-irritating skincare and avoid stronger products such as exfoliants, toners and acids.

What should I avoid before treatment?

A consultation with our nurse is required beforehand to ensure the treatment is appropriate for your skin.
There should be a minimum of 2 weeks after botulinum toxin treatments, 4–6 weeks after fillers and 6 months after thread lifting before undergoing Ultherapy.
