Ultherapy Prime

Non-invasive skin lifting with microfocused ultrasound and real-time visualisation — for the face, neck and décolletage.

What Is Ultherapy Prime?

Microfocused Ultrasound. Precision Lifting.

Ultherapy Prime is a non-invasive skin lifting treatment that uses microfocused ultrasound energy with real-time visualisation (MFU-V) to stimulate the body's natural collagen production. It targets the deeper structural layers of the skin — including the SMAS layer, the same tissue layer addressed during a surgical facelift — without incisions, needles or downtime. Developed by Merz Aesthetics, Ultherapy Prime features enhanced ultrasound imaging and faster treatment delivery compared to the previous generation.

How It Works

The Science Behind Ultherapy Prime

See — Real-Time Visualisation

Unlike standard HIFU devices, Ultherapy Prime features real-time ultrasound imaging that allows the treating doctor to visualise the layers of skin before and during treatment — ensuring energy is delivered to the correct tissue depth.

Plan — Personalised Mapping

Using the visual data, the doctor maps treatment zones based on each patient's unique anatomy and creates a customised energy plan — targeting the depths that matter for the individual's skin concerns.

Treat — Multi-Depth Delivery

Focused ultrasound energy is delivered at three precise depths — 1.5mm (superficial dermis), 3.0mm (deep dermis), and 4.5mm (SMAS layer) — creating controlled thermal coagulation points that trigger collagen and elastin production.

What It Treats

Ultherapy Prime Indications

Skin Laxity on the Face

Looseness or sagging of the skin around the cheeks, mid-face and jawline that develops as collagen and elastin naturally decrease with age.

Sagging Brow

A drooping or heavy brow that may contribute to a tired appearance. Ultherapy Prime is FDA-cleared specifically for lifting the skin on the brow.

Loss of Jawline Definition

Softening of the jawline contour due to reduced structural support in the deeper skin layers and early jowl formation.

Neck Laxity

Loss of firmness along the neck and under the chin — often one of the first areas to show visible signs of ageing and skin laxity.

Lines on the Décolletage

Fine lines, crepiness and textural changes on the upper chest area, which may benefit from deeper collagen stimulation.

Early Signs of Facial Ageing

Individuals noticing the first changes in skin firmness and elasticity who wish to support collagen production as a preventive approach.

Benefits

Why Consider Ultherapy Prime at MIRAE

Non-Invasive Procedure

Ultherapy Prime addresses skin laxity without surgery, incisions or general anaesthesia. Patients can typically return to daily activities immediately.

Targets the SMAS Layer

Reaches the deep structural layer of the skin (4.5mm) that is also addressed during a surgical facelift — a depth that many non-invasive devices do not reach.

Single-Session Treatment

Most patients undergo one session of approximately 45 to 60 minutes. Maintenance sessions may be considered annually to support ongoing results.

Real-Time Ultrasound Imaging

The built-in visualisation system allows the treating doctor to see beneath the skin surface and direct energy precisely to the intended tissue layers.

Gradual, Natural-Looking Change

Results develop progressively as new collagen forms over 2 to 3 months. The improvement appears natural because it comes from the body's own collagen production.

FDA-Cleared Indications

FDA-cleared for lifting the skin on the brow, neck and under the chin, and for improving lines and wrinkles on the décolletage — supported by clinical evidence.

Key Takeaway

Precision Lifting. Visible Results.

Ultherapy Prime uses microfocused ultrasound with real-time imaging to target the deep structural layers of the skin with precision. By stimulating the body's own collagen production at the SMAS layer, it may help improve skin firmness and definition in the face, neck and décolletage — without surgery or downtime.

At MIRAE Medical Aesthetics, every Ultherapy Prime session is performed by Dr Cherie Lau, with a personalised treatment plan tailored to each patient's anatomy and concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ultherapy Prime

Everything you need to know about Ultherapy Prime at MIRAE Medical Aesthetics.

What is Ultherapy Prime and how does it differ from standard HIFU?

Ultherapy Prime is a non-invasive skin lifting treatment that uses microfocused ultrasound with visualisation (MFU-V). Unlike standard HIFU devices, Ultherapy Prime features real-time ultrasound imaging that allows the doctor to see the layers of skin being treated and deliver energy with greater precision. The device targets specific depths — 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm — including the SMAS layer, which is the same structural layer addressed during a surgical facelift.

What areas can Ultherapy Prime treat?

Ultherapy Prime is FDA-cleared for lifting the skin on the brow, neck and under the chin, as well as improving lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. Common treatment areas include the forehead and brow for a subtle lift, mid-face and cheeks for improved contour, the jawline for definition, and the neck for skin laxity.

Is Ultherapy Prime painful?

During treatment, patients typically feel a warm sensation and brief pulses of energy as the ultrasound is delivered. Comfort levels vary between individuals and treatment areas. At MIRAE, pain management options are discussed during consultation and tailored to each patient to ensure a comfortable experience.

How long does a session take and how many sessions are needed?

A typical Ultherapy Prime session takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. Most patients undergo a single session. The number of sessions recommended depends on individual skin condition, degree of laxity, and aesthetic goals, which are discussed during consultation.

When will I see results and how long do they last?

Some patients notice initial tightening shortly after treatment, but the primary results develop gradually over 2 to 3 months as new collagen forms. Results may continue to improve for up to 6 months. The duration of results varies between individuals depending on skin condition, lifestyle factors, and the natural ageing process. Maintenance sessions may be considered to support ongoing results.

Is there any downtime after Ultherapy Prime?

There is no required downtime following Ultherapy Prime. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately. Some individuals may experience temporary effects such as mild redness, tenderness, tingling, or slight swelling in the treated areas. These typically resolve within hours to a few days.

Can Ultherapy Prime be combined with other treatments?

Ultherapy Prime may be combined with other treatments as part of a comprehensive approach, depending on individual needs and the doctor's assessment. Potential complementary treatments and appropriate timing between procedures are discussed during consultation.
