How it works
Ultherapy Prime builds on Ulthera, the established standard in non-surgical skin lifting, with a further developed MFU-V platform — micro-focused ultrasound with real-time visualisation.
High-intensity focused ultrasound energy is delivered into the skin at the optimal temperature for collagen regeneration, around 60–70°C, creating thermal coagulation points that lift the tissue.
Three transducers, matched to your skin
Ultherapy Prime has three transducers — 1.5mm, 3.0mm and 4.5mm — so it can respond to different skin thicknesses and different treatment aims.
The depth is chosen during treatment according to the thickness and condition of your skin.
What the upgraded imaging adds
The ultrasound field is twice the size of the previous generation, giving a more stable, clearer image with less noise — so the target layer can be identified more precisely.
Imaging depth reaches up to 8mm. Where the skin is thick, or where ageing has progressed, this allows the treatment to be placed accurately.

Aftercare
- 1.
Light makeup is possible on the day of treatment, but we recommend leaving it until the following day.
- 2.
Swelling or discomfort can appear in the treated area, varying by individual, and can last three to seven days.
- 3.
For about a week afterwards, it is better to avoid alcohol and smoking, and anything that raises the skin's temperature — vigorous exercise, saunas and steam rooms.
- 4.
Apply regenerative cream or moisturiser thoroughly so the skin does not become dry.
- 5.
Apply sunscreen carefully whenever you go out, to protect the skin.
