Ultherapy PRIME®
Next-Generation Deep Lifting and Tightening System with Micro-Focused Ultrasound
What is Ultherapy PRIME®?
Ultherapy PRIME® is a next-generation FDA-cleared non-invasive skin lifting and tightening treatment that uses advanced Micro-Focused Ultrasound with Visualization (MFU-V) to deliver deep lifting and rejuvenation for the face and neck without surgery or downtime.
This device can be used for:
• Full-face lifting
• Jawline tightening
• Lifting and tightening under the chin
• Brow and eye lifting
• Neck tightening
• Softening of chest lines
Ultherapy PRIME® is widely recognized as one of the gold standards in non-surgical anti-aging treatments.
Ultherapy PRIME® Before & After

How It Works:
Ultherapy PRIME® uses Micro-Focused Ultrasound technology to precisely deliver energy to different depths of the skin, including:
• 1.5 mm superficial dermis
• 3.0 mm dermal layer
• 4.5 mm SMAS layer, the foundational layer targeted in surgical lifting procedures
Ultrasound energy creates precise thermal coagulation points in the targeted tissue, triggering the body’s natural healing response:
• Immediate collagen contraction
• New collagen production
• Elastic fiber remodeling
• Strengthening of deeper support structures
Unlike many traditional energy-based treatments, Ultherapy PRIME® can directly target the SMAS layer without damaging the skin surface, creating a natural lifting effect from within.
Real-Time Visualization:
Ultherapy PRIME® is equipped with an upgraded real-time ultrasound imaging system that allows providers to better visualize tissue layers and improve treatment precision.
Its advantages include:
• Clearly visualize the skin’s structural layers
• Precisely identify treatment depth
• Customize energy delivery
• Improve treatment safety and consistency
It is one of the only non-invasive lifting devices with real-time imaging guidance.
Concerns It Can Improve:
Ultherapy PRIME® can effectively improve the following concerns:
• Facial laxity and sagging
• Deepening nasolabial folds
• Loss of jawline definition
• Mid-face descent
• Mild brow or eyelid drooping
• Neck lines and loose skin
• Loss of skin elasticity
After treatment, the skin gradually becomes firmer, facial contours appear more defined, and the overall appearance looks naturally more youthful.
Results & Timeline
• Immediately After Treatment
• A subtle tightening sensation and slight contour refinement may be noticed.
• After 2–3 Months
• Collagen production continues, and the face gradually appears more lifted.
• After 3–6 Months
• Lifting results typically reach their peak.
• Duration
• Results typically last 12 months or longer, depending on the individual.
