What Is Ultherapy PRIME?

Ultherapy PRIME is the latest advancement in non-surgical skin lifting and tightening, building on the clinically proven foundation of the original Ultherapy. Designed with enhanced precision and improved patient comfort, this next-generation system delivers more refined and customised lifting results.

Using microfocused ultrasound with real-time imaging, Ultherapy PRIME allows doctors to visualise the skin’s deeper structural layers before delivering energy. The upgraded imaging clarity and optimised energy delivery enable more accurate targeting, consistent collagen stimulation and personalised treatment planning.

Like its predecessor, Ultherapy PRIME is US FDA-cleared to lift and tighten the skin of the brow, chin, neck and décolletage. However, the PRIME platform enhances treatment precision and comfort through:

Advanced real-time ultrasound visualisation
Calibrated, consistent energy delivery
Improved treatment comfort
Tailored energy placement based on individual anatomy

Unlike many energy-based treatments that primarily focus on surface skin tightening, Ultherapy PRIME uses microfocused ultrasound with real-time imaging to precisely target deeper structural layers, including the SMAS layer, the same foundational layer addressed in a surgical facelift, without cutting or disrupting the skin’s surface.

By creating controlled thermal micro-injuries at precise depths, the treatment stimulates the body’s natural production of new collagen and elastin, leading to gradual lifting, firming and contouring over 2–6 months.

Areas That Can Be Treated

Lower face and jawline definition
Under the chin (submental lifting)
Neck tightening
Brow lift
Décolletage rejuvenation

Since its global introduction in 2008, Ultherapy has treated over one million patients worldwide. Clinical studies have shown up to a 42% increase in collagen types I and III synthesis in treated areas, the key structural proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity.

Ultherapy PRIME continues this established legacy with enhanced technology for more precise, comfortable and effective non-invasive facelift results.

The ultrasound energy is able to penetrate from 1.5mm, 3.0mm and up to 4.5mm underneath the skin without affecting the top most layer.

It targets both the dermis and foundational tissue layers where laxity begins.

What Makes Ultherapy PRIME Different?

Enhanced Real-Time Ultrasound Imaging - allows more precise energy placement at optimal depths.
Refined Energy Delivery - Consistent, calibrated ultrasound energy improves collagen stimulation efficiency.
Improved Comfort Experience - Technology upgrades and customised settings help make treatments more comfortable.
Personalised Treatment Protocols - Energy placement is customised according to facial structure, skin laxity and aesthetic goals.

Ultherapy PRIME is ideal for individuals seeking a non-surgical facelift alternative in Singapore, offering natural-looking lifting and skin tightening with minimal downtime and long-lasting collagen regeneration.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between Ultherapy and Ultherapy PRIME?

Ultherapy PRIME is the latest evolution of the original Ultherapy platform. While both use microfocused ultrasound with real-time imaging, PRIME features upgraded imaging clarity and more refined energy delivery.

This allows:

More precise targeting of treatment depths
Better customisation for different facial structures
Improved comfort during treatment
Consistent collagen stimulation

2. Who is suitable for Ultherapy PRIME?

Ultherapy PRIME is suitable for individuals experiencing:

Mild to moderate skin laxity
Softening jawline definition
Sagging under the chin
Drooping brows
Fine lines and wrinkles

It is safe for all skin types and can be combined with other aesthetic treatments such as injectables or skin rejuvenation procedures for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Patients with severe laxity may require additional treatments or combination approaches for optimal results.

3. What happens during an Ultherapy PRIME session?

A numbing cream is first applied to ensure comfort. Our doctor will use the ultrasound imaging system to visualise the skin layers in real time. The Ultherapy PRIME handpiece then delivers precise microfocused ultrasound energy at selected depths.

You may feel warmth or tingling sensations as the energy is delivered and this indicates collagen stimulation is occurring.

Treatment duration:

Full face & neck: approximately 90–120 minutes
Brow or small areas: approximately 30–45 minutes

4. Is Ultherapy PRIME painful?

Discomfort varies depending on individual tolerance. However, Ultherapy PRIME is designed with enhanced comfort compared to earlier-generation systems.

Most patients describe the sensation as brief warmth or mild tingling. Numbing cream is provided, and energy levels can be adjusted to ensure a tolerable experience.

5. What should I expect after treatment?

Ultherapy PRIME requires little to no downtime.

You may experience:

Mild redness
Slight swelling
Tenderness or tingling

These effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few hours to a few days. Most patients resume normal activities immediately after treatment.

6. When will I see results? How long do results last?

Some patients may notice a subtle lift immediately after treatment due to tissue contraction. However, the primary results develop gradually over 2 to 3 months as new collagen forms. Improvements may continue up to 6 months.

Results typically last 12–18 months, depending on individual aging processes and lifestyle. Annual maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain optimal lifting effects.

7. How many treatments are needed?

Most patients require one treatment session for visible improvement. Depending on skin laxity and desired outcomes, some individuals may benefit from a second session after assessment. Our doctor will recommend a personalised treatment plan during consultation.

8. Can Ultherapy PRIME slim the face?

Ultherapy PRIME tightens and lifts the skin, which can improve facial contour and definition, especially along the jawline and under the chin.

While it is not a fat-reduction treatment, the lifting effect can create a more sculpted and refined appearance.

9. Can Ultherapy PRIME be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Ultherapy PRIME works well in combination with:

Dermal fillers
Botulinum toxin
Skin boosters
Laser treatments

It is often used as the foundational lifting treatment in a comprehensive anti-aging plan.

3. Is the Treatment Painful?

The discomfort depends on your personal pain tolerence. But generally, it is very tolerable and most patients report minimal discomfort. Numbing cream will be provided and the intensity of the treatment can be adjusted to suit you.

4. What to Expect After the Treatment?

There may be slight skin redness and swelling right after the treatment. But the symptoms should disappear within a few hours. Some people may also experience some tingling or tenderness to the skin, but these are temporary and will subside in a week or two.

5. When Will I See Results? How Long Do the Results Last?

Right after the procedure, some patients will be able to see instant lifting of the skin. However, the full effects will typically be seen over two to three months.

Ultherapy stimulates a person’s own collagen production and depending on each individual, the results last between a year to 2 years. Yearly touch-up treatments are recommended to maintain a youthful and lifted face.

6. How Many Treatment(s) Will I Need?

Depending on each individual’s skin laxity and condition, the number of treatment ranges from 1-2 treatments in order to see visible results.
