Ultherapy PRIME

What the Treatment Does

As we age, skin gradually loses firmness and elasticity, leading to sagging cheeks, early jowls, loose neck skin, and less defined facial contours. For many, surgical facelifts may seem invasive and require significant downtime.

Ultherapy PRIME treatment offers a non-surgical ultherapy face lift that uses micro-focused ultrasound with visualisation (MFU-V) to stimulate collagen regeneration deep within the skin. Unlike surface-level treatments, Ultherapy targets the dermis and superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), where skin laxity begins. By delivering controlled thermal energy, the treatment encourages the body’s natural healing response, gradually firming and lifting the skin while preserving natural facial expression.

Patients typically choose Ultherapy PRIME to achieve a subtle, natural improvement in facial contours without undergoing surgery, enjoying a treatment that is precise, safe, and minimally disruptive to daily life.

Treatment Areas

With ultherapy skin lifting, these areas can be treated safely to achieve natural-looking lifting and improved skin firmness without surgery.

Suitability

The Ultherapy PRIME treatment is suitable for individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity who are seeking a non-invasive approach to facial rejuvenation. Those who notice early sagging in the cheeks, jawline, or neck may find this treatment particularly beneficial.

This treatment is ideal for patients who prefer gradual, natural-looking improvements rather than dramatic, surgical-level changes. It is also suitable for individuals who value precision and safety, as the real-time ultrasound imaging allows practitioners to target deeper layers of the skin effectively while avoiding surrounding structures.

A thorough consultation with a qualified doctor in Singapore is essential to assess individual skin conditions and treatment goals, ensuring Ultherapy skin lifting is appropriate and aligned with patient expectations.

Step 1: Consultation & Assessment

The doctor evaluates your facial structure, skin laxity, and goals to create a tailored treatment plan.

Step 2: Skin Preparation

The area is cleansed, ultrasound gel applied, and a topical numbing cream may be used for comfort.

Step 3: Ultrasound-Guided Energy Delivery

Using real-time imaging, micro-focused ultrasound energy is precisely delivered to the dermis and SMAS at specific depths—commonly 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm depending on the treatment area. This controlled thermal stimulation triggers collagen regeneration for gradual, natural lifting.

Step 4: Targeted Lifting by Area

Energy is applied strategically to key areas: brow, cheeks, jawline, under-chin, and neck for a natural lift.

Step 5: Gradual Results

Collagen regenerates over 2–3 months, improving firmness, contour, and skin texture naturally.

Step 6: Follow-Up & Maintenance

Follow-up reviews ensure results are monitored, and maintenance treatments can sustain lifting effects.

How the Treatment Works

Ultherapy PRIME treatment lifts and tightens the skin using micro-focused ultrasound with real-time imaging. The process is structured in clear steps:

Risks & Side Effects

When performed by trained professionals, Ultherapy PRIME is generally well tolerated. Potential temporary side effects may include:

  • Redness or mild swelling
  • Tenderness, tingling, or mild soreness
  • Temporary numbness or sensitivity
  • Rare bruising or nerve irritation

Most side effects are short-lived and resolve without intervention. The doctor will explain risks and expected outcomes during consultation.

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery from Ultherapy skin lifting is minimal. Most patients resume daily activities immediately, although mild redness or tenderness may be present for a few hours to a few days.

Results appear gradually as the body produces new collagen, with improvements in skin firmness and lift typically observed over 2–3 months. The longevity of results varies by individual but often lasts up to a year or longer. Follow-up visits and professional guidance on post-treatment care help maintain optimal outcomes.
