Is Ultherapy PRIME safe?
Ultherapy PRIME builds upon the legacy of the original Ultherapy device as a non-surgical skin lifting treatment. It is US FDA-cleared and has a strong clinical body of evidence with more than 120 peer-reviewed publications. In addition, more than 3 million Ultherapy treatments have been performed worldwide.
What does the treatment feel like?
It is normal to feel a sensation of heat and/or tingling during the procedure, but comfort levels vary from patient to patient. These sensations, however, are only present while the ultrasound energy is being delivered on the surface of the skin. Your aesthetic doctor will discuss your tailored treatment plan with you.
How is Ultherapy PRIME different from other skin lifting procedures?
Unlike other conventional skin lifting technologies, Ultherapy PRIME:
- Has vivid real-time imaging – this enables providers to go deeper to reach the right layers and deliver a truly, personalized lift.
- Treats different skin depths – the platform has patented DeepSEE® transducers that can treat various depths. These include the superficial dermis (1.5mm), deep dermis (3mm), and SMAS/platysma (4.5mm), and can extend to 8mm.
- Offers long-lasting results – it works with the body’s collagen-building process for visible and natural-looking results that can last for a year or more (depending on the patient).
- Promote safe and effective results – thanks to real-time imaging, the providers can evaluate the patient’s unique needs and select optimal depths to help make sure the treatment is safe and effective.
- Innovative technology – the new platform offers faster processing performance with improved features (than the original Ultherapy device). It offers the same natural and lasting results you love, all in just one session.
How soon will I see the results?
Initial improvements in the skin’s tightness and texture may be visible after the treatment, but full results take about two to three months to develop. It is important to keep in mind that since the procedure stimulates the body’s own collagen, results can vary from patient to patient.
How long do the results of Ultherapy PRIME last?
Most patients see significant results after just one session. One Ultherapy PRIME treatment can also deliver lasting effects for a year or more. A consultation with our aesthetic doctor will determine the number of treatments you need based on your individual profile.

Can Ultherapy PRIME replace a surgical facelift?
Ultherapy PRIME cannot replicate the results of a surgical facelift. It is, however, a good choice if you are not ready for surgery or want to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery. It is also a clinically proven non-invasive alternative for those who are not willing to go under the knife.
Is there downtime?
There is no downtime with Ultherapy PRIME. As it is a non-surgical treatment, you can return to your normal activities after the procedure following the instruction of your practitioner or aesthetic doctor.
Are there any side effects?
You may feel slight redness or tenderness following the treatment, but this is temporary and should subside after a few days. A consultation with an aesthetic doctor can help you learn what to expect before, during, and after the procedure.
