×Ultherapy PRIME + Thermage FLX
Signature
Ulthera + Thermage
Lifting that pairs ultrasound for the deep layers with radiofrequency for the skin layers in one plan
Two Ultherapy PRIME systems on site
Merz Aesthetics · Solta Medical Ulthermage (Ultherapy PRIME + Thermage FLX)
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.
A non-invasive skin tightening treatment that delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy into the dermis to contract collagen fibres while also inducing regeneration.
If sagging (the SMAS layer) is the main concern, Ultherapy comes first; if thinning skin, fine lines and elasticity are the concern, Thermage takes priority. When both concerns are present, we design a combination.

Ulthermage 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.
Thermage FLX works by delivering radiofrequency (RF) energy into the skin.
The skin's own electrical resistance generates heat deep in the dermis, while the epidermis is simultaneously protected by a separate cooling system, so thermal stimulation is delivered selectively to the collagen tissue in the deeper layers without damaging the skin's surface.
Energy
Two types of energy, used together to match each layer
- Ultrasound
Ultrasound
Premium ultrasound lifting performed while viewing the SMAS layer on ultrasound imaging
Ultherapy PRIME
- Radio Frequency
Radiofrequency (RF)
The standard in lifting that regenerates collagen across multiple dermal layers with radiofrequency
Thermage FLX
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
Individually tailored energy adjustment
A system that measures skin impedance in real time during the procedure is applied, allowing the energy level to be adjusted precisely to each person's skin condition and the characteristics of each area.
POINT03
Combination plan with Ultherapy
Ultherapy for sagging (the SMAS layer), Thermage for thinning skin and fine lines. When both concerns are present, we design a combination.

Ulthermage
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.
- Skin may become temporarily sensitive after the procedure, so please refrain from using irritating skincare products.
- In rare cases where pain, swelling or redness persists for a long time or worsens, you should consult the medical team.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
These are the questions we are asked most often during consultations. Answers may vary depending on your individual skin condition.
Which is right for me, Ultherapy or Thermage?
If sagging (the SMAS layer) is the main concern, Ultherapy comes first; if thinning skin, fine lines and elasticity are the concern, Thermage takes priority. When both concerns are present, we design a combination.
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.
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.
How are the shots configured?
The face is configured at 300 · 600 · 900 shots and the eye area with a 450-shot eye tip; we design the intensity and shot count for each area based on skin thickness, direction of sagging and sensitivity.
Can I go about my normal daily activities on the day of the procedure?
Yes. You can wash your face and wear makeup the same day, and there is virtually no downtime. For a few days, please avoid irritating skincare products and saunas.
If your jawline is beginning to lose definition, now is the right time.
