Ultherapy PRIME
San Jose

Non-Surgical: Ultherapy PRIME is a non-surgical procedure, so there’s no incisions, anesthesia, or use of other invasive methods. As such, Ultherapy PRIME improves sagging skin and appearance without the complications associated with surgical procedures.

Customizable: Ultherapy PRIME is conducted under ultrasound guidance, allowing the cosmetic surgeon to visualize the lower layers of the skin. The doctor accurately and precisely targets the regions in need of cosmetic improvements, personalizing the treatment to your specific needs. No two Ultherapy PRIME procedures are the same.

No Side-Effects: Surgical procedures always have a risk of side effects or complications related to the anesthesia or your body’s response to the surgery. However, Ultherapy PRIME doesn’t lead to any complications. At most, you may experience some mild tingling or tenderness in the treated regions.

No Downtime: You can resume all your daily activities immediately after treatment. You may experience some mild discomfort or redness, but there’s no recovery period.

Natural-Looking Results: The effects of the procedure gradually kick in over several weeks or months. As such, there’s no sudden transformation announcing that you’ve had cosmetic surgery. Instead, you gradually start looking and feeling a lot better.

Longevity: Ultherapy PRIME triggers your body’s collagen-producing response deep within the skin, effectively halting the aging process. The effects of Ultherapy PRIME may last for up to two years.

Our Palo Alto Ultherapy PRIME treatment can take a half hour up to three hours depending on how many areas you wish to treat. Our board-certified facial plastic surgeons pass a handheld device over the areas to be tightened. They can see an image on a screen of the layers of tissue while you are treated, ensuring that your treatment is delivered to the most beneficial levels of the skin.

You will see results immediately, as the areas that were treated will be tighter. This will continue to improve further as your body produces more collagen.

After about six months, you will decide if you need a second treatment to achieve the results you want. Most patients return for Ultherapy PRIME once per year to maintain the tightened appearance.

We believe the best anti-aging regime addresses collagen remodeling at all levels of the skin. Whether it’s the deep, targeting energy delivery of Ultherapy PRIME, the bulk heating at the mid-depths of Thermage, and/or the surface refinement and collage stimulation of Fraxel or Microneedling. We can help you determine which combination treatment protocol would be right for you to help you look your best now and into the future.

Who is a suitable candidate for Ultherapy PRIME?

The ideal candidate for Ultherapy PRIME is someone with lax or loose skin wanting to restore their skin’s tightness and youthful vigor. You’re a suitable candidate if you have loose skin around your neck and chin, if you'd like jawline tightening, and if you have fine lines and wrinkles on your neck, chin, jowls, décolletage, and brow line. Ultherapy PRIME is generally used by those who are 30 and older, but it’s also suitable for people in their 20s who want to keep their skin tight and taut as they grow older. Ultherapy PRIME doesn’t provide the same results as a surgical facelift, but it’s ideal for those who want limited facial lifting without the mental, physical, or financial stress of undergoing a complete surgery.

What is the general cost of Ultherapy PRIME?

The cost of Ultherapy PRIME depends on several factors, including the areas being treated and the amount of treatment necessary. There’s no one-size approach for Ultherapy PRIME since it has to be customized to each individual’s specific needs. At Cheng Plastic Surgery & Medspa, our cosmetic surgeons consider your expectations and goals to curate the ideal Ultherapy PRIME treatment plan before discussing the cost of treatment.
