🌸 Quick answer
How is Ultherapy Prime different from standard Ultherapy? Ultherapy Prime uses micro-focused ultrasound at optimised depths with shorter lines and gentler energy, so it suits thinner, sensitive areas such as under the eyes, the brow and around the mouth. Like standard Ultherapy it heats the deep layers to build new collagen, but with less discomfort. It lifts and refines early laxity, needs no downtime, and the full result develops over 3–6 months.
What is Ultherapy Prime?
Ultherapy Prime is a next-generation version of Ultherapy designed for delicate zones and thinner skin. It delivers micro-focused ultrasound at carefully chosen depths and lower line intensity, so it can tighten sensitive areas — lower eyelids, brow, upper lip — with more comfort and less downtime.
Real-time imaging guides each pulse to the SMAS and deep dermis, and because ultrasound does not target pigment, Prime is suitable for most skin tones, including melanin-rich skin.
Areas it treats
- Lower eyelid laxity and crepiness
- Eyebrow droop (non-surgical brow lift)
- Fine lines around the eyes
- Upper lip and smile-line area
- Jawline refinement and early jowls
Why people choose it

Before & after: what changes
