Ultherapy PRIME

What is Ultherapy PRIME?

As we reach our 20s, collagen production starts to decline, with our bodies producing 1% less collagen each year thereafter. This leads to decreased skin laxity; eventually, we experience saggy skin, wrinkles and fine lines.

Saggy skin is often associated with ageing, but this doesn’t have to be the case. Various treatments are available that help reverse signs of ageing by encouraging the natural formation of collagen and elastin.


Ultherapy Prime is a non-invasive medical-grade treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound technology to lift and tighten the skin. It uses real-time imaging of the skin layers, which facilitates treatment accuracy. Specifically, clear visualisation enables doctors to direct the ultrasound energy to the correct layers and specific areas of the skin.

Ultherapy Prime targets the deep foundational layers of the skin, including the SMAS layer (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System), the same layer addressed during a surgical facelift. This produces natural-looking results, promoting collagen production and enhancing skin elasticity.

Ultherapy PRIME is an enhanced version of the Ultherapy machine. In this version, patients can expect:

  • Good results are achieved through clear image visualisation that makes it easier for your doctor to target skin layers accurately.
  • Reduced pain and minimised swelling due to less unnecessary stimulation of surrounding skin tissues.

Rest assured, Ultherapy Prime is FDA-approved, non-invasive, and medical-grade. It is a clinically proven treatment backed by over 120 publications and 56 clinical studies. 

Benefits of Ultherapy Prime:

  • Tightened skin, typically achieved via a surgical facelift in the past
  • Fewer fine lines and wrinkles
  • Toned face and contoured jawline
  • Increase in collagen production

What Areas Can Ultherapy PRIME Treat?

Ultherapy PRIME is suitable for addressing specific cosmetic issues in the face and neck and targeting delicate areas, including:

1. Eyebrow Area

The skin around the eyes is delicate and can often show the first signs of ageing. The brow area can also be affected by natural ageing. This can cause:

  • Mild hooding of the eyelids means a bit of extra skin is hanging over your upper eyelids. 
  • Crow’s feet or fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes.
  • Drooping brows reduces the visibility of the upper eyelids.
  • Loss of brow definition means the shape of your eyebrows isn't as clear as it used to be.  

Ultherapy Prime delivers focused ultrasound energy to improve skin firmness around the eyes and brows, lifting and tightening the skin in this area.


2. Cheeks and Jawline

Changes in the cheeks and jawline can result in a less youthful appearance over time. Common concerns include:

  • Mild sagging of the cheeks, leading to changes in facial contours.
  • Nasolabial folds refer to lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
  • Jowls, which are loose, sagging skin and flesh that hangs below the jawline, can blur the distinction between the face and neck.
  • Loss of definition, reducing overall facial sharpness.

Ultherapy Prime lifts and tightens the skin in these areas, improving firmness and definitio


3. Neck  

The neck is susceptible to signs of ageing, often showing:

  • Sagging skin under the chin can contribute to a double chin's appearance.

Ultherapy Prime targets these areas to enhance skin elasticity.


4. Lip Area

The lips and nearby structures can develop fine lines and drooping with age. Ultherapy Prime is suitable for addressing the following:

  • Vertical lines around the lips, sometimes called “smoker’s lines.”
  • Mild drooping of the mouth corners, which can alter facial expression.

Focused ultrasound technology encourages skin tightening in this area.


5. Décolletage

The décolletage (skin on the neck, chest, and shoulders) is another area prone to skin laxity and fine lines. Ultherapy Prime may help with:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles caused by sun exposure or ageing.

This treatment supports collagen production to address concerns in this area.

How Does Ultherapy PRIME Work?

Ultherapy PRIME is a non-invasive treatment designed to tighten and lift the skin by using micro-focused ultrasound energy. It delivers energy into the deeper layers of the skin, bypassing the surface. This stimulates the production of collagen, a vital protein for maintaining skin firmness. The process triggers the skin’s natural ability to regenerate and improve elasticity over time.

Ultherapy PRIME targets multiple skin layers, including the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS), often addressed in surgical facelifts.


How Long Does Ultherapy PRIME Last?

The effects of Ultherapy PRIME generally last up to a few years, depending on individual skin type, lifestyle, and the rate of natural ageing. Over time, as collagen production declines naturally, the results may diminish.

Regular maintenance treatments can help sustain the outcome. Doctors may suggest a follow-up session after several months for some patients to address specific skin concerns.


What to Expect During an Ultherapy PRIME Treatment in Singapore

  • Consultation: A detailed assessment with the doctor ensures the treatment is tailored to your skin needs.
  • Preparation: The targeted area is cleaned, and an ultrasound gel is applied.
  • Treatment Process: The doctor uses the Ultherapy PRIME device to deliver ultrasound energy to specific layers of the skin. Depending on the areas treated, the session can take 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  • Comfort: While the treatment is generally tolerable, patients may experience a warm sensation as the energy penetrates deeper layers.
  • Post-Treatment: Most patients can resume daily activities immediately after treatment. There is no downtime, with any redness or sensitivity subsiding within a few hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Avoid After Ultherapy PRIME?

For optimal recovery and results, avoid the following for at least three days after treatment:

    • Harsh skincare products containing exfoliating ingredients or vitamin A compounds, such as Retin-A or retinoids. Instead, use a gentle cleanser and a light moisturiser to soothe the skin.

    • Prolonged sun exposure or treatments like laser or radiofrequency may irritate the skin.

Always consult with your doctor for personalised post-treatment care instructio

Are There Any Side Effects to Ultherapy PRIME?

Ultherapy PRIME is a noninvasive treatment with mild and temporary side effects. Common reactions include:

    • Redness: Slight redness may occur immediately after the session but usually subsides within a few hours.

    • Swelling or Tenderness: Some patients may experience mild swelling or tenderness in the treated areas, which resolves within a day or two.

There is no significant downtime, and patients can generally return

How Long Until I See Ultherapy PRIME Results?

Ultherapy results develop gradually as collagen production increases. Visible improvements, such as tighter skin and enhanced facial contour, are typically noticeable after a few months. Collagen production usually continues for up to several months, leading to further enhancements in skin tone and firmness over time.

What Is the Ideal Age for Ultherapy PRIME?

Ultherapy PRIME is recommended for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who still have some degree of elasticity. It is commonly chosen by patients in their 30s to 50s as a preventive or corrective measure for early signs of ageing. However, suitability varies, and a consultation with a doctor is essential to determine if it aligns with your needs.

How Many Ultherapy PRIME Sessions Should I Go For?

The number of sessions can vary based on the individual’s skin condition and goals. For some, a follow-up session may be advised several months after the initial treatment to enhance results further.

Is Ultherapy PRIME FDA-Approved?

Yes, Ultherapy PRIME is FDA-approved. It is an ultrasound-based lifting treatment approved for skin tightening. Its certification assures patients of its safety and efficacy when performed by a trained doctor.
