HOW ULTHERAPY PRIME WORKS
Ultherapy, especially the advanced Ultherapy PRIME platform, is a unique non-invasive treatment that uses time-tested ultrasound technology combined with real-time imaging to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production and create a customized lifting effect tailored just for you.
Ultherapy PRIME works beneath the surface of the skin, delivering focused ultrasound energy to safely target the same foundational tissue layers addressed in a surgical facelift without surgery or downtime. Compared to old Ultherapy systems, PRIME offers a treatment session that is up to 20% faster and more efficient, while delivering the same trusted lifting and tightening results, all in a single session.
Ideal for individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity or loss of elasticity, Ultherapy does not replicate the results of a surgical facelift. However, it is a clinically proven, non-invasive alternative for those who are not ready for surgery but still want visible lifting and tightening benefits.

Differences between Ultherapy PRIME vs Ultherapy
Before & After
Prep+ Aftercare
To ensure patients experience the best results that Ultherapy Prime offers, they will be advised of the following pre-treatment advice:
PREPARATION
- Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup.
- Stay well-hydrated and avoid strong sun exposure for one week prior to your appointment.
- Refrain from chemical peels or laser treatments for two weeks before your session.
- Wait at least 4-6 weeks after any injectable treatments, such as neuromodulators, dermal fillers, or bio-remodelling, before undergoing Ultherapy Prime.
Allow at least 4-6 months after other skin lifting and firming treatments, such as Ultrafomer MPT or Thermage FLX) before undergoing Ultherapy Prime.
WHAT TO EXPECT
What to Expect During Treatment
After cleansing the skin and identifying the areas to be treated, your Ultherapy Prime practitioner will apply ultrasound gel and place a smooth treatment applicator against your skin.
Your practitioner will then use Ultherapy Prime unique real-time imaging to assess your skin and precisely deliver ultrasound energy into your collagen-rich layers.
During the procedure, you may feel a gentle warming or tingling sensation as the ultrasound energy is delivered, indicating that the collagen-building process has begun.
Comfort levels and treatment duration may vary depending on your individual plan.
Ask your practitioner about your customised Ultherapy Prime treatment plan for the best experience and results.
AFTERCARE
Aftercare Instructions for Ultherapy Prime
After receiving Ultherapy Prime treatment, it’s important to follow these aftercare instructions carefully to ensure optimal results and avoid complications.
Below are the key guidelines to follow:
1. Skin Care
- Avoid Excessive Heat: For 2 days post-treatment, avoid activities that may heat the skin, such as hot tubs, Jacuzzis, saunas, or strenuous exercise.
Always use sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin. Apply sunscreen 20 minutes before sun exposure, then reapply every 2 hours. - Hydration: Keep your skin well-hydrated with a gentle, soothing moisturiser to minimise dryness or irritation.
- Gentle Cleansing: Use a mild, non-abrasive cleanser to wash your face. Avoid harsh exfoliants or products containing retinol or active acids for at least one week post-treatment.
2. Activity Restrictions
- Avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, or intense exercise that causes heavy sweating for 48 hours after treatment.
- Light facial massage is acceptable if needed, but avoid deep tissue massages or pressure on the treated areas.
3. Potential Side Effects
- Redness: Mild redness may occur and typically resolves within a few hours.
- Swelling or Bruising: Some slight swelling or bruising can appear but should subside within a few days.
- Tightness or Tingling: A mild tightening or tingling sensation may be felt — this is normal and part of the collagen renewal process, usually fading within a few days.
4. Makeup
You may apply makeup the day after treatment if there is no irritation or discomfort. Avoid heavy or full-coverage makeup for the first 24 hours.
5. Follow-Up Appointments
Your practitioner may schedule a follow-up appointment to assess your results and ensure proper healing. Please attend this session to track your progress and results.
6. Long-Term Care
- Maintain a consistent skincare routine with SPF protection to prolong your results.
- Results typically develop over 2–3 months, continuing to improve as collagen production increases.
7. Avoid Invasive Procedures
Avoid other invasive treatments such as Botox, dermal fillers, or laser resurfacing in the treated areas for at least 2 months post-treatment to prevent interference with your Ultherapy results.

Ultherapy® PRIME FAQs
The only treatment cleared by the FDA for lifting the brow, skin on the neck and under the chin as well as improve lines and wrinkles on the décolleté. With real time visualization, Ultherapy is the Gold Standard for nonsurgical skin lifting.
Ultherapy Prime builds on the established safety profile of Ultherapy, which is scientifically supported by more than 120 publications and over 3 million treatments in more than 80 countries worldwide. In addition, ultrasound energy has a proven track record, with use in the field of medicine for more than 50 years.
No. With nonsurgical Ultherapy Prime, there is no downtime. Atter your
treatment, you can resume your normal activities immediately, following the instructions of your practitioner.
Most Ultherapy Prime patients see meaningful results after just one session. Since your treatment stimulates your body's own collagen production, the results may vary. You may see some initial lift, but the ultimate results will take place over two to three months as the growth of new collagen and elastin develops. A single Ultherapy Prime treatment can give a lasting result that can last up to a year or more. Your practitioner will advise on the likely outcomes for you.
As ultrasound energy is delivered, you may feel the sensation of heat and/or tingling, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initiated.
Treatment comfort levels vary from person to person, and your practitioner will discuss your personalized treatment plan with you.
A good candidate for Ultherapy Prime is someone with some degree of laxity, to the point of looking, often feeling, less firm. Loose skin under the neck and under the chin, or lines and wrinkles on the chest, are signals a patient might be a candidate. Typically, those in their 30s who have mild to moderate skin laxity are candidates. While Ultherapy Prime is not a replacement for a surgical facelift, there are many people who may want some facial lifting but are not ready for surgery, whether mentally, physically, or financially. There are also younger people who want to "stay ahead of the game," as well as patients wanting an aesthetic maintenance option.
To maintain firm, lifted, and youthful-looking skin, we recommend one Ultherapy Prime® treatment every 9 to 12 months. Ultherapy Prime® specifically targets the deeper structural layers of the skin, delivering long-lasting, natural-looking lifting results.
