Powerful and more precise ultrasound lifting: Ultherapy PRIME
Two Ultherapy PRIME systems on site
Merz Aesthetics Ultherapy PRIME
A non-incisional lifting treatment that focuses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) down to the SMAS layer to create micro-coagulation points, thereby inducing collagen regeneration and tissue rearrangement.
The procedure is performed while checking the skin-layer structure of the treatment area down to a depth of up to 8 mm with Deep SEE™ real-time ultrasound imaging, and three dedicated tips — DS 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm and 4.5 mm — allow precise energy delivery tailored to the characteristics of each area.

Ultherapy PRIME How it works
Ultherapy PRIME works by focusing multiple beams of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) on a single point beneath the skin to create micro thermal coagulation points (TCP).
The ultrasound energy creates coagulation points at 60–70°C, and because the energy is focused on a specific depth only — much like a magnifying glass concentrating light — it acts selectively on the deeper layers of tissue without damaging the skin's surface.
POINT01
Precise real-time monitoring
Deep SEE™ technology allows the structure of the skin layers to be checked in real time down to 8 mm, so energy can be delivered precisely to the target depth.
POINT02
Treatment tailored to each area
Using three dedicated tips — DS 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm and 4.5 mm — treatment can be tailored to each area, from thin areas such as around the eyes to areas needing firmness such as the jawline and cheeks.
POINT03
Improved stability and energy delivery efficiency
Compared with the previous Ulthera, the precision of energy control and treatment stability have been enhanced, allowing more consistent and efficient energy delivery.

Precautions
- Immediately after the procedure, temporary redness, swelling or bruising may appear, depending on the individual.
- It is best to avoid potentially irritating activities such as massage, sauna and strenuous exercise for a while.
- It is important to support skin recovery with sufficient sun protection and moisturizing care.
- Light cleansing and makeup are possible on the day of treatment, and we recommend using a mild cleanser.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
These are the questions we are asked most often during consultations. Answers may vary depending on your individual skin condition.
How is it different from the previous Ulthera?
With Ultherapy PRIME, treatment is performed while viewing the skin layers down to a depth of 8 mm with Deep SEE™ imaging, and energy is delivered at different depths for each area using 1.5 · 3.0 · 4.5 mm tips. Precision and stability have improved.
Is it painful?
Creating thermal coagulation points can cause a dull ache, so you can choose cream anesthesia or sleep anesthesia. After treatment, there is usually only mild swelling or soreness for one to two days.
When do results become visible?
You feel a mild tightening right after the procedure, and the results build gradually over the 4–12 weeks during which collagen regenerates, being most noticeable around 3 months. A repeat treatment is usually discussed at around 12 months.
How is the number of shots decided?
We design the treatment area by area according to the location of the sagging, skin thickness and the layer structure confirmed by ultrasound. The shot count is decided during the consultation among 300, 400, 500 and 600 shots, and we follow the principle of genuine products in full amounts.
If your jawline is beginning to lose definition, now is the right time.
