The story
Looking for a lift without incisions, stitches or downtime?
A softer jawline, heavy cheeks or a double chin can make the face look older than you feel. Many people want a lifting option that fits around a busy schedule.
Ultherapy uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to deliver heat to the deep SMAS layer. That heat triggers collagen renewal and firming without surgery. Treatment is guided by live ultrasound imaging.
Ultherapy Prime is the upgraded system with a more ergonomic handpiece and steadier energy control. A session takes about 30–40 minutes, and some people choose repeat sessions to maintain the lift.
