Ultherapy PRIME

Ultherapy PRIME uses real-time imaging while delivering microfocused ultrasound at target depths. Small coagulation points induce collagen remodeling during recovery for sagging and firmness.

Similar-looking sagging can involve different skin/fat thickness and tissue position. Assessment and imaging guide scope, depth and lines.

Ultherapy PRIME is a successor platform retaining the earlier Ultherapy's DeepSEE real-time imaging and microfocused ultrasound principles. Earlier Ultherapy also has imaging to view beneath the skin.

PRIME improves the screen, image presentation, processing speed and usability, supporting tissue assessment and treatment planning. Actual duration, pain and results vary with area, line count, settings and skin.

• When blurred jawline or lower-face sagging concerns you
• When brow-area sagging makes the eyes look heavy
• When skin feels loose and less firm
• When you want to discuss nonsurgical lifting

Hollows from volume loss must be distinguished from sagging. Low-fat or already hollow faces need careful scope/need decisions. Severe sagging requires explaining nonsurgical limits.

Focused ultrasound creates small thermal coagulation points at target depths. Collagen remodels during tissue recovery, allowing potential changes in firmness and sagging.

1.5/3.0/4.5mm are focal depths. Even 4.5mm does not always mean fascia in every person/area. Imaging confirms tissue position before depth selection.

DeepSEE images help confirm target tissue location and handpiece contact. Imaging does not eliminate adverse-effect risk; scope, settings and skin response still need assessment.

Line count follows skin and scope. Equal counts can mean different treatment according to allocation by depth and location.

WayB explains depth/distribution alongside total shots, planning sufficient care while avoiding unnecessary overlap and unwanted volume changes.

1. Assessment & Consultation: Distinguish sagging/hollows; assess skin, history and goals.
2. Photography & Area Marking: Photograph for comparison and mark areas and zones to avoid.
3. Pain Management & Preparation: Prepare according to sensitivity and apply ultrasound gel.
4. Imaging & Treatment: Deliver energy while checking depth/contact with real-time imaging.
5. Follow-up Guide: Check immediate response and explain recovery precautions/contact symptoms.

EVE MUSE may inform surface assessment, symmetry and progress comparisons. Internal tissue is assessed with Ultherapy PRIME ultrasound images.

Duration depends on shots and scope. Visit estimates also include consultation, preparation and anesthesia.

Immediate tightness or change may include swelling and is not the final result. We assess skin/contour changes over about 2–3 months.

One session may last about 1 year or longer, with variation from skin, weight and lifestyle. We plan repetition after early/later response rather than fixed dates.

• Temporary redness, swelling, heat and tenderness may occur.
• Numbness, tingling or expression changes may occur; report unexpected symptoms.
• Avoid strong massage, irritating care and excessive heat during recovery; maintain moisturizing and sunscreen.
• Intervals from injections, laser or threads depend on type, area and recovery.
• Tell us important events at consultation. Recovery speed varies.

Contact us for blisters/weeping, worsening redness/pain, one-sided sensory/expression changes or unexpected hollows/contours. Worsening symptoms need assessment without waiting for a set recovery period.

Viewing Beneath the Skin

Ultrasound images show thickness and tissue position. We consider visible contours and underlying structure together.

Planning by Area

We set needed scope, depth and lines, separately assessing thin/low-volume areas and prior filler/surgery sites.

Treatment with imaging and response checks

We check contact and target depth. Tell us promptly about major discomfort; sensitivity and response guide procedural adjustments.
