DEEPER THAN
LIGHT THERAPIES.19-23, 31
Light therapies do not lift, they treat specific skin conditions like age spots, unwanted hair, and vascular lesions.
These technologies reach different depths, depending on the type of treatment, and are not suitable for all skin types.

DEEPER THAN
RADIO FREQUENCY.24-28, 32
Radio frequency treatments do not lift but may be used in combination with other technologies to treat skin laxity, fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, and relaxed muscles.
These types of treatments lack precision since bulk heating is a diffuse energy delivery, and the temperature it reaches is not optimal for neocollagenesis, resulting in the need for multiple treatment sessions.

DEEPER than any other FDA-cleared non-invasive lifting treatment with real-time visualization
Ultherapy is the only microfocused ultrasound device with real-time visualization, enabling treatment personalization.
Ultherapy allows for energy delivery precisely at 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm at optimal, consistent coagulative temperatures of 60–70°C, initiating collagen and elastin denaturation and synthesis for effective, reproducible, long-lasting results.1-3, 5-7, 13

PERSONALIZED AND PRECISE
ENERGY DELIVERY AT THREE DEPTHS.
PERSONALIZED
Among individual patients, skin layer thickness and depths, and distribution of tissue layers vary greatly depending on factors like:
- Age
- Smoking history
- Gender
- Body area
- Skin type
- BMI
Treating at the right depth is key to enabling safe and effective, long-lasting results. Only with Ultherapy PRIME®'s real-time visualization, can you precisely identify the collagen-rich tissues and select the optimal depths at 1.5mm, 3.0mm or 4.5mm to deliver the treatment where it is most beneficial. Ultherapy PRIME® is the only FDA-cleared ultrasound technology with real-time visualization that allows you to reach the dermis and fibromuscular layers, including the SMAS.1-8, 12
PRECISE
Ultherapy's transducers deliver consistent and precise energy into the tissue, promoting safer and more effective results. Its precision allows for controlled tissue targeting and evenly sized and spaced TCPs, leaving healthy tissue in between to enable accurate energy delivery and reproducible results.9, 10, 12
See Proven Results →HOW ULTHERAPY PRIME® WORKS
Ultherapy PRIME® uses microfocused ultrasound with visualization to non-invasively treat the same deep tissue planes as a modern facelift. Similar to a magnifying glass focusing sunlight, ultrasound energy precisely targets dermal and subdermal tissues. Heat is generated only at the treatment site; intervening tissues and the skin's surface are unaffected. Target tissue is heated to approximately 65°C, triggering immediate collagen denaturation and collagen synthesis. As part of body's wound healing response, long-term collagen remodeling delivers a gradual, natural-looking lift. Results can last a year or more.1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 13
