Home » Ultherapy PRIME vs Ultherapy

Ultherapy PRIME uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to lift and firm the skin without surgery, needles, or downtime. A handheld device delivers ultrasound pulses below the surface, allowing visualization of skin layers in real time, so each treatment is tailored to you.
By targeting key depths, including the dermis and underlying connective tissues, Ultherapy PRIME stimulates natural collagen production over time, helping improve skin firmness and lift areas that have lost structure due to aging. It reaches deep layers similar to those targeted in a facelift, including the SMAS layer, where sagging often begins.
This non-invasive treatment supports a refreshed appearance with minimal interruption to your daily activities, giving the skin a firmer, more defined look over time.
