Ultherapy PRIME®
"Microfocused Ultrasound Lifting for Firmer Skin and More Defined Facial Contours"
A non-invasive lifting treatment that delivers microfocused ultrasound energy to the dermis and fibromuscular layers, including the SMAS. DeepSEE® real-time ultrasound visualization allows the provider to view the tissue layers and plan a more precise, individualized treatment.
What Is Ultherapy PRIME®?
Ultherapy PRIME® is a non-invasive skin lifting treatment that uses microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) to deliver energy to precise depths within the dermis and fibromuscular layers, including the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS).
Personalized Treatment with DeepSEE® Visualization
Ultherapy PRIME® uses patented DeepSEE® real-time ultrasound visualization, allowing the provider to view the skin and underlying tissue layers during treatment. This helps confirm the appropriate treatment depth and supports a treatment plan tailored to the patient’s anatomy and skin condition.
How Does Ultherapy PRIME® Work?
Microfocused ultrasound energy creates precise thermal coagulation points within targeted tissue layers. This controlled thermal response initiates collagen remodeling and supports the production of new collagen and elastin, which may gradually improve skin firmness and laxity.
Why Is Real-Time Visualization Important?
Skin thickness and anatomical structures vary between individuals and treatment areas. DeepSEE® visualization helps the provider identify collagen-rich tissue layers and select an appropriate treatment depth, including 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, or 4.5 mm.
Which Areas Can Be Treated?
Ultherapy PRIME® may be used to address concerns involving the brow area, cheeks, jawline, under-chin area, and neck. The number of treatment lines and treatment depths are selected according to the treatment area, degree of skin laxity, and individual facial anatomy.
What Is Important for Natural-Looking Lifting?
A personalized treatment plan should consider the degree of skin laxity, tissue thickness, facial structure, and areas of volume deficiency. Treatment depth and energy placement should be carefully planned to support natural-looking lifting while avoiding unnecessary treatment of volume-deficient areas.

FAQ
What is Ultherapy PRIME®?
Ultherapy PRIME® is a non-invasive lifting treatment that uses microfocused ultrasound with visualization to deliver energy to targeted tissue depths within the dermis and fibromuscular layers, including the SMAS.
How is Ultherapy PRIME® different from the previous Ultherapy® platform?
Ultherapy PRIME® retains Ultherapy’s microfocused ultrasound and real-time visualization technology while offering an upgraded platform with faster processing, a larger high-resolution screen, an expanded ultrasound field, and clearer visualization.
What is DeepSEE® technology?
DeepSEE® is a patented real-time ultrasound visualization technology that allows the provider to view the skin and underlying tissue layers during treatment. It helps confirm tissue depth and supports more precise energy placement based on individual anatomy.
When can I expect to notice results?
Some patients may notice an initial tightening effect after treatment. Results generally develop gradually as collagen remodeling progresses and may become more noticeable over approximately two to three months.
How many treatments are recommended?
The appropriate treatment schedule varies according to skin laxity, age-related changes, and individual goals. Ultherapy PRIME® is generally performed as a single treatment, with maintenance treatment considered approximately every 6–12 months when appropriate.
What is Ultherapy PRIME® Eye?
Ultherapy PRIME® Eye is a treatment program designed for the brow and periocular area using a transducer and treatment depth selected according to the patient’s anatomy. It may help improve mild skin laxity around the brow and eye area.
