FDA-cleared non-invasive ultrasound lift with DeepSEE™ real-time imaging, delivering energy to the SMAS layer to stimulate gradual collagen renewal, improve laxity and reshape contours.
Ultherapy® PRIME is a US FDA-cleared non-invasive ultrasound lifting treatment. Equipped with DeepSEE™ real-time ultrasound imaging, it helps the physician visualise the deeper layers of the skin during treatment and deliver energy with precision to the SMAS fascial layer and the dermis, helping stimulate progressive regeneration of collagen and elastic fibres, improve skin laxity and reshape contours. No surgery is required, and there is generally no specific downtime.
Combining ultrasound imaging with micro-focused energy, heat is delivered to different skin layers.
DeepSEE™ real-time imaging: the physician can monitor subcutaneous tissue in real time (to a depth of 6 mm), helping plan the energy path and avoid areas that should not be heated, improving the accuracy of treatment.
MFU-V micro-focused energy: ultrasound energy is focused on the SMAS fascial layer and the dermis, producing fine thermal coagulation points that help initiate the tissue’s self-repair mechanism and provide structural support.
Progressive collagen regeneration: heated tissue reorganises gradually; collagen production is a progressive process. The degree and timing of visible results vary with individual constitution; most people observe change within a few months.
Tips of different treatment depths are available. The physician plans them according to the client’s skin thickness and degree of laxity.
Targeting the SMAS fascial layer: energy is delivered to the deeper SMAS fascial layer, helping the visual lift of the jawline and overall facial contour.
Targeting the deep dermis: heating the deep dermis helps stimulate native collagen production and improve skin firmness.
Targeting superficial tissue: suitable for thinner skin or areas of superficial fine lines, such as around the eyes, for finer work.
Collagen renewal is gradual. Some notice subtle change early; clearer results often appear over weeks to months, depending on your skin and aftercare.
You may feel brief warmth or a dull ache when energy reaches the target layer. The physician can adjust settings and comfort measures to your tolerance.
Ultherapy focuses ultrasound at deeper SMAS for structural support and contour; RF typically heats a broader dermal volume for overall firmness and texture. A consultation can advise one or a combination.
PRIME upgrades DeepSEE™ imaging and the operating system so the physician can see tissue more clearly and place energy more precisely, often with a more comfortable session.
