Ultherapy PRIME® uses micro-focused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) to target the deep foundational layer of tissue — the same SMAS layer that surgeons address in a surgical facelift. The difference is precision without incisions. Ultrasound energy is delivered at exact depths (1.5mm, 3mm, 4.5mm) to stimulate collagen and trigger a genuine lifting response over time.
Ultherapy PRIME® is the latest generation platform, featuring real-time imaging so your provider sees exactly where energy is being placed — not a blind treatment. FDA-cleared for non-surgical lifting of the brow, chin, neck, and décolletage.
Ultherapy PRIME® Eye Treatment targets the brow area, lifting drooping eyebrows for a more refreshed, open appearance.
Ultherapy PRIME® uses a regular head for the mid and lower face — lifting the jawline, tightening the neck, and improving the décolletage. Your provider will recommend the right option during your free consultation.
Your treatment begins with imaging — your provider views the tissue layers in real time to map the optimal treatment plan. Sessions run 60–90 minutes. You'll feel brief, intense bursts of heat at each treatment point — this sensation lasts only a fraction of a second per pulse and is the sign that energy is being delivered at the correct depth. Topical numbing is available and recommended.
Mild redness and tenderness resolve within hours. You can return to full activity the same day.
Unlike Botox (immediate) or fillers (same-day), Ultherapy works gradually as new collagen forms. Most patients notice an initial response in the weeks following treatment, with full lifting apparent at 3–6 months.
Results last 12–18 months on average. A booster session at 12 months is the most common maintenance approach. Combining Ultherapy with Morpheus8 addresses different tissue depths for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Individual results may vary. Before and after photos represent actual patient outcomes. Results are not guaranteed.
All three are FDA-cleared ways to tighten and lift skin without surgery — but they work differently and suit different goals. Here's how they compare.

How to choose: Morpheus8 for texture, scars, or deeper remodeling; Thermage FLX for overall firming in one comfortable session; Ultherapy PRIME for a non-surgical lift — it's the only one of the three FDA-cleared to lift the brow, chin, and neck.
