The new generation of ultrasound facelifts
What is Ultherapy Prime?
The Ultherapy Prime is a more modern and targeted version of Ulthera technology, a non-invasive aesthetic medicine device using micro-focused ultrasound to lift and firm the skin. Specially designed for delicate areas of the face, it offers a comfortable treatment while guaranteeing a lifting effect and effective stimulation of collagen.
Principle of operation
Technology
The Ultratherapy Prime emits micro-focused ultrasound capable of deeply entering to the SMAS, the same layer as that worked in facelift surgery.
Action
The energy delivered creates controlled micro-heat points, triggering a neocollagenesis (production of new collagen). The skin gradually lifts in the following weeks, without incision or social eviction.
Result
According to several studies, the effects of Ulthera would amount to 70% of the result obtained thanks to a surgical facelift.
Indications
Light to moderate release of the face
- The eye contour (eyelids, tired look)
- The oval of the face and the beginning of the double chin
- The tightening of the neck
- The neckline
Contraindications
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Infection, inflammation or active skin disease on the area
- Wearing an active electronic implant (pacemaker, neurostimulator...)
- Coagulation disorders or taking strong anticoagulants
- Wounds, recent scars or presence of metal in the area
- Severe autoimmune diseases affecting the skin
A prior consultation makes it possible to verify the eligibility for treatment.
Results and follow-up
The first effects of tension are visible immediately after the session and are optimal between the 3rd and 4th month post-treatment, while the skin produces its new collagen. The skin is firmer, the features are redesigned and the face gains in tone in a natural way. The results can last 12 to 18 months, depending on the hygiene of life and the quality of skin.
A single session is sufficient in most cases, but a personalized treatment plan is established according to the patient’s goals. No recovery time is necessary: the patient can resume his activities immediately after the session.
