Ultherapy is a revolutionary, non-surgical facelift alternative to tighten and lift the skin. Available for full face or lower face, safe, time-tested ultrasound technology makes Ulthera so innovative.

Specifically, ultrasound waves bypass the surface of the skin, depositing precise amounts of energy to clearly-defined depths under the facial skin.

As a result, the body jumpstarts the skin’s regenerative process from the inside out. This process stimulates new collagen and elastin production, as well as encourages cellular turnover for firmer, smoother skin.

Specifically, volume is restored to the face, and the skin is tightened and toned, improving the appearance of sagging cheeks, jowls, marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and loose skin around and under the chin.

With Ultherapy PRIME, the latest Ultherapy machine, treatments offer enhanced precision, customized facial lifting, and improved comfort for patients in the New York City area seeking non-invasive facial rejuvenation.

Read below for a more detailed explanation of Ultherapy Prime benefits, as well as the difference between Ultherapy PRIME and legacy Ultherapy systems.

Yes, Ultherapy PRIME is FDA-cleared for facial skin tightening.

Ultherapy PRIME takes the proven technology of Ultherapy and makes it faster, more precise and more comfortable. 

Using micro-focused ultrasound with real-time imaging (called Deep-See Technology), your provider can actively visualize where the energy is delivered, ensuring targeting treatment where you need it most.

Key advantages of Ultherapy PRIME for arms:

• One session, no needles, no scars — quick and convenient for busy NYC lifestyles
• Safe for all skin tones — effective for everyone without pigmentation risk
• Improved comfort — pain scores reported at less than half of older devices
• FDA-cleared for nonsurgical skin tightening – with recent clearance for arms and abdomen

To summarize, Ultherapy PRIME offers results that are more predictable, more comfortable, and faster to achieve, than older machines while maintaining the unparalleled skin tightening results that has made Ultherapy the go-to non-surgical treatment in Manhattan, the Upper East Side and across New York City.

We tend to think of aging as wrinkly, sagging skin on the superficial layers of the face. However, these outward signs of aging are a sign of what’s happening in the deeper, foundational layers of the skin.

Over time, our bodies produce less collagen and elastin. As a result, our skin loses elasticity. Further, we lose fat in our face and our skin becomes thinner.

While these processes happen gradually, they eventually cause a cascading effect on the face.

The skin on the cheeks loses its firmness.

We experience mid-face volume loss in the cheek area. 

Our faces develop a loose, jowly appearance to the skin along the jaw and chin.

Our faces gravitate downward.

The result? The tell-tale signs of aging — deep wrinkles, facial hollows, under-eye bags, nasolabial folds, marionette lines and sagging or loose skin on the jawline or jowls.

Ultherapy face treatment works to counteract many of these signs of aging. And it’s is distinctively different from other non invasive beauty treatments, because it actually lifts the musculature from within the SMAS (subcutaneous musculoaponeurotic system) layer (where cosmetic surgeons cut). At the same time, it tones and tightens skin on the face.

The Ultherapy machine contains a handheld device that delivers ultrasound waves to predetermined areas across the face.

Essentially, these ultrasound energy waves bypass the surface of the skin, depositing tiny amounts of energy to clearly-defined depths under the facial skin.

Beyond this hand-held device, the Ultherapy machine also comes equipped with patented Deep See technology. Essentially, feedback from the skin is literally visualized on a monitor.

As a result, the practitioner can see deep beneath the skin’s surface. By using the feedback from the image on-screen, she can deliver precise amounts of energy to reach deep into the SMAS skin layers of the face at three different depths.

Only Ulthera PRIME can offer the advantage of being so targeted, while reaching so many deep, foundational layers of the skin.

As a result, it works to stimulate neocollagenesis and elastin remodeling by heating of the dermis. Gradually and naturally over time, there’s a noticeable lift and improvement to the skin texture on the face.  

You will see your facial skin look more lifted and rejuvenated gradually, most noticeably between 2-6 months after Ulthera treatment, as well as over the next year.

Ultherapy results look natural, because it works by targeting ultrasound waves into specific areas to trigger your body’s ability to produce collagen naturally. Ultherapy works beautifully for:

• Smoothing sagging skin and reducing facial laxity

• Tightening and lifting skin on the face, eyes, brow, cheeks, chin, and jowls for a non-surgical facelift

• Restoring volume loss to cheeks, undereye area, and nasolabial folds for a youthful, contoured appearance

• Improving skin’s texture and elasticity with collagen stimulation

• Minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines

• Repairing and rejuvenating skin’s appearance with advanced ultrasound skin tightening

• Works as either a full face treatment or lower face alone, ideal for brow lifts, jawline lifting, and neck tightening

Ulthera skin tightening can last up to five years.

However, it may be performed up to two times a year, depending on the treatment outcome you desire, as well as the laxity of your skin.

After six months, you can assess treatment results. A maintenance treatment is an option at this point. Essentially, you can repeat treatment as you age.

Ultherapy facelift results can last up to five years; however, we typically recommend a maintenance session at the one year mark — to be determined in consultation with your provider.

How long it lasts depends on the genetic predisposition to aging and lifestyle factors of the patient.

Likewise, there’s no permanent skin tightening solution, due to the natural aging process.

Ulthera has been scientifically proven to significantly lift, tighten and smooth wrinkles on the face non-surgically in just a single, one-hour procedure with no downtime.

At the end of one study, 82.1% of the subjects had qualitative, significant improvement, and 75.0% saw improvement in their face and/or neck as early as day ninety.

For the ideal candidates with mild to moderate skin laxity, the average amount of lift was exceptional, at 45.2 mm.

Ulthera reaches the same, deep foundational layer addressed in cosmetic surgery — without the significant risks, pain and downtime associated with going under the knife.

It’s a great nonsurgical alternative, especially for people not ready for surgery or for those looking to extend the benefits of a facelift.

Unlike traditional facelift surgery, Ultherapy is non-invasive, requires little to no recovery time, and stimulates natural collagen production to gradually lift and tighten the skin.

Patients can target specific areas such as the brow, cheeks, jawline, lower face, and neck, achieving a youthful, contoured appearance without the scarring, anesthesia, or extended downtime associated with surgical procedures.

Ultherapy is ideal for those seeking safe, effective, non-surgical facial rejuvenation with long-lasting results.

Ultherapy recovery comes with no downtime, because it bypasses the epidermis, while treating skin laxity of the face.

Unlike traditional surgical facelifts, Ulthera lifts and tightens skin naturally, with no scarring and no recuperation time.

Ultherapy risks, bad results and problems are less common than a cosmetic facelift. Therefore, patients are free to return to normal activity following treatment.

This is a place where the Ultherapy PRIME system shines compared to traditional Ultherapy. The system is designed for improved comfort, with reported pain scores less than half of older devices.

Ultherapy pain is usually not reported during treatment; however, comfort levels are individual. Any pain or discomfort during treatment usually dissipates quickly. Our experienced and licensed technicians are highly-trained in how to make the procedure as pain-free and comfortable as possible.

Additionally, patients may opt for pain relieving measures, such as Pro Nox during treatment.

Most patients report that any mild discomfort experienced due to the heat of the Ultrasound energy is worth the benefit that Ultherapy treatment provides for the skin.

Most Ultherapy side effects from the treatment should not be cause for alarm. Specifically, symptoms are usually minor and should subside in minimal time, as a normal part of the healing process. Further, they may be alleviated with simple measures, such as Ibuprofen.

Immediately following treatment, your skin may appear flushed, which usually subsides within several hours. Additionally, it is normal to experience mild tenderness, bruising and swelling after Ulthera for up to a week. Further, tingling, soreness, numbness and tenderness (especially under the jowls) may occur for up to two to three weeks.

Ultherapy PRIME is the first ever FDA cleared, non-invasive skin lifting device for use on areas of the face such as brows, jowls, eyes as well as other areas of the body. The system recently gained FDA clearance for use for stomach skin tightening and arm skin tightening.

Treatment Areas Include:

• Brow lifting for a more youthful appearance

• Jowls for improved jawline definition

• Eyes, including subtle enhancement of the lower eyelids

• Full face for overall skin tightening and lifting

• Neck for reduction of loose skin and “turkey neck”

• Décolleté for smoother, firmer skin

• Stomach to address loose abdominal skin

• Arms to tighten upper arm skin

• Knees for improved skin laxity

It’s simple: Ultherapy PRIME restores sagging skin — no matter where it’s done on the face and body.

For example, Ultherapy for eyes can provide a subtle improvement to the lower eyelids. Further, a non-surgical brow lift can take years off your face.

It’s important to note the difference between Ultherapy Full Face Treatment and Ultherapy Lower Face Treatment.

Specifically, the Ultherapy Full Face includes the brow, under eyes, cheeks and jowl / jawline. On the other hand, Ultherapy for Jowls / Jawline concentrates on the lower part of the face. Essentially, Ultherapy Full Face is a nonsurgical facelift, while Ultherapy Jowls Treatment is a nonsurgical lower facelift.

And did you know that Ultherapy works on other parts of the body besides the face? Clients report improvements of skin laxity when used to treat the neck, décolleté, stomach and knees.

Additionally, it’s important to note that many people who are considering full face Ulthera treatment are also good candidates for other areas.

Specifically, it’s a great idea to add an Ultherapy Neck treatment to the full face treatment, since, generally speaking, the neck shows age as much as the face. Both areas can be easily done in one session at our Manhattan Medical Spa.

How much Ulthera treatment costs depends on the laxity of the skin to begin with, as well as the extent of the treatment area.

For example, the cost for full face will be more than for an Ultherapy brow lift or Ultherapy Lower Face treatment.
