What is Ultherapy prime?
Ultherapy prime is a safe, non-surgical ultrasound treatment that counteracts the effects of time and gravity on your skin. (prime is newest version of ultherapy)
The face is made up of several layers, including the skin—the epidermis and dermis—followed by fat and muscle. Between the fat and muscle lies a collagen-rich supportive layer called the SMAS layers.
Ultherapy prime delivers focused ultrasound energy to the deeper fat and SMAS layers. By tightening and stimulating these underlying tissues, it can help lift areas such as the nasolabial folds, jawline, eye area, and neck, creating a natural, non-surgical facelift effect.
When will you see results? How long do they last?
You’ll usually start to notice the effects of Ultherapy prime within about a month. As new collagen continues to form over the next two to three months, the lifting and tightening effect gradually improves.
The results typically last around nine months on average. That’s why, at our clinic, we generally recommend having Ultherapy prime once a year and using other lifting treatments in between to maintain and enhance the results.
