ULTHERAPY PRIME builds on the established safety profile of ULTHERAPY with over 50 clinical studies, and over 3 million treatments completed worldwide.

ULTHERAPY PRIME is the only skin-lifting and sculpting device with real-time visualisation. This enables the practitioner to assess your skin before treatment and deliver energy in the precise depth required. Through this technology, the treatment can be personalised to your unique skin anatomy, resulting in effective results.

With ULTHERAPY PRIME, there is usually minimal downtime. After your treatment, you can resume you normal activities immediately, following the instructions of your practitioner.

Since your treatment stimulates your body’s own collagen production the results may vary on each individual person. You may see some initial lift, but the visible results will take place from 3-6 months, as the growth of new collagen and elastin replaces old tissue targeted by the treatment. A single ULTHERAPY PRIME treatment can give a lasting effect for over a year in some people, and your practitioner will advise on the likely outcomes for you.

Discomfort usually only lasts while ultrasound energy is being delivered, however there can be some tenderness for up to a couple of weeks following treatment. Some patients also experience mild redness immediately after treatment. This, too, should pass over a couple of hours to a couple of days. Speak to your practitioner to discuss your comfort options.

These are both important building blocks within our skin. Collagen is a protein that is abundant in our skin and is important in providing strength and stability. It is produced by special cells (called fibroblasts) but over time our skin loses some of its collagen, contributing to skin laxity and sagging. Elastin is a highly elastic protein in skin and allows many tissues in the body to resume their shape after stretching or contracting. Elastin helps skin to return to its original position when it is poked or pinched. Again, as we age, our skin loses some elastin which also contributes to sagging and laxity. Since our faces are constantly subjected to movement and pressure (when we smile, sleep, talk, shout, cry, laugh or sing) the loss of elastin and collagen really can take its toll.

As a result of the natural ageing process our skin becomes less elastic. A good ULTHERAPY PRIME candidate has mild to moderate skin laxity where the skin begins to look less firm or tight. Examples include a lowered brow, loose skin on the neck, sagging under the chin, and lines or wrinkles on the chest. ULTHERAPY PRIME results in a gradual lift, leaving patients looking refreshed. The only way to really know if you are a good candidate for ULTHERAPY PRIME is to discuss any concerns you have around skin laxity with your practitioner, who can advise on the most suitable treatment option for you.

The length of the treatment will depend on the area being treated and your individual treatment plan. A face and neck procedure can take approximately 60–90 minutes, while a brow lift or décolletage treatment can take approximately 30 minutes.
