What is Ultherapy Prime?
Building on the legacy of its predecessor, Ultherapy, Ultherapy PRIME is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical treatment designed to lift and smooth the neck, under the chin, and brows, while reducing fine lines and wrinkles on the décolleté. This treatment uses ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production, resulting in tighter, more youthful skin.
Ultherapy PRIME is the only FDA-cleared skin-tightening and lifting device that features real-time visualisation. This technology allows your doctor to assess your skin before treatment and precisely deliver ultrasound energy to targeted areas. Through this customised approach, Ultherapy PRIME can deliver:
- Precise and consistent energy to reach collagen-rich tissue layers
- Visualise tissue targeting to avoid non-target tissues, such as bones and vessels
- Thereby, minimising discomfort during treatment
Each treatment is tailored to the patient’s unique needs, ensuring effective and safe results.
What can Ultherapy Prime treat?
Ultherapy Prime is primarily used to treat signs of aging on the face, neck, and chest. This includes sagging skin, wrinkles, fine lines, and drooping eyelids. It can also help improve the appearance of a double chin.
The procedure is especially effective for individuals who are experiencing early signs of aging or have mild to moderate skin laxity. It can also be used as a preventative measure for those who want to maintain their youthful appearance.
Additionally, Ultherapy Prime has been known to improve the overall texture and firmness of the skin, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
How does Ultherapy Prime work?
Ultherapy Prime uses focused ultrasound energy to penetrate deep into the layers of the skin. This energy then stimulates the production of collagen, which is a protein responsible for keeping our skin firm and youthful-looking. As we age, our body produces less collagen, leading to sagging and wrinkles.
Ultherapy Prime helps to trigger the body’s natural regenerative response, boosts collagen production to lift and tighten the skin, providing long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Most patients experience a gradual improvement over two to three months, with results that can last up to a year or more.
What are the benefits of Ultherapy Prime?
1. One Session, Long-Lasting Lift
Experience:
- Skin tightening and lifting
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improved skin firmness and elasticity
- Defined facial contours
Collagen, a natural protein, keeps skin firm and toned. As we age, collagen breaks down, leading to skin sagging and reduced elasticity. Ultherapy PRIME works with your body’s natural collagen-building process for gradual, natural-looking results that can last a year or more.
2. Precise and Customised Treatment
Ultherapy PRIME is the only FDA-cleared skin-tightening and lifting device that features real-time visualisation. This technology allows your practitioner to assess your skin before treatment and precisely deliver ultrasound energy to targeted areas. Through this customised approach, Ultherapy PRIME can deliver:
- Precise and consistent energy to reach collagen-rich tissue layers
- Visualise tissue targeting to avoid non-target tissues, such as bones and vessels
- Thereby, minimising discomfort during treatment
Each treatment is tailored to the patient’s unique needs, ensuring effective and safe results.
3. Non-Invasive with Minimal Downtime
Ultherapy PRIME is a non-surgical alternative to a facelift. By harnessing ultrasound energy, it stimulates collagen production deep within the skin, lifting and tightening areas that have lost firmness over time. This non-invasive procedure offers a refreshed, youthful appearance with minimal downtime, allowing patients to resume their daily activities shortly after the session.
What makes Ultherapy Prime different from traditional Ultherapy?
Purpose and Target Areas:
- Ultherapy is designed for overall skin tightening and lifting, targeting areas such as the face, neck, and décolletage. It uses ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production, resulting in firmer, more youthful skin.
- Ultherapy Prime, however, is a more focused version, specifically tailored for smaller, delicate areas like the brow, under the chin, and around the eyes, providing precision treatment where needed.
How They Work:
- Both treatments utilise ultrasound technology to penetrate deep beneath the skin, triggering collagen regeneration without affecting the surface layer. This process gradually lifts and tightens the skin over time.
- Ultherapy Prime takes this further by using micro-focused energy to target deep skin layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production more effectively. This leads to enhanced skin renewal, lifting, and tightening from within.
Enhanced Features of Ultherapy Prime:
- Ultherapy Prime includes advanced features such as a larger screen and real-time imaging, allowing for better visualisation and more in-depth delivery into the collagen-rich layers. These enhancements provide a more targeted treatment experience, ensuring precision and effectiveness.
Benefits:
- Ultherapy provides a holistic approach to anti-aging, addressing multiple areas in a single session, which can be advantageous for those seeking a complete facial lift.
- Ultherapy Prime offers enhanced performance and power, making it a more comfortable and quicker treatment than traditional Ultherapy. It excels in delivering a smoother experience tailored to individual skin needs, ensuring optimal results, especially in sensitive regions.
Considerations:
- Both treatments are non-invasive and require no downtime, making them excellent options for busy individuals.
- Potential patients should consider their specific skin concerns and desired outcomes when choosing between the two. Consulting with a licensed practitioner can provide personalised advice to ensure optimal results.
What can you expect during an Ultherapy Prime treatment?
- Consultation:
Before the procedure, you’ll have a consultation with a qualified practitioner who will assess your facial structure and discuss your goals. This ensures the treatment is customised to meet your specific needs. - Preparation:
Your skin will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure comfort during the session. - Treatment:
During an Ultherapy Prime treatment, a handheld device is used to deliver focused ultrasound waves to targeted areas on the face, neck, or chest. The procedure typically takes 30-90 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated. Some patients may experience mild discomfort during the treatment, but this can be managed with numbing cream. - Post-Treatment Care:
After the treatment, you’ll receive aftercare instructions. It’s important to avoid strenuous activity and follow all post-treatment guidelines to ensure optimal results.
