Ultherapy PRIME lifts and firms skin from the inside out using focused ultrasound energy, with no surgery involved. Results build naturally over several months as your own collagen continues to strengthen and renew.
“I had my first Ultherapy PRIME treatment at Dr. Cheng’s office from their Ultherapist, Alex. I am almost 3.5 months out and looking forward to my follow up and photos. The treatment time for my neck, chin and cheeks was about an hour and a half. Alex did great and the discomfort was very manageable with their new gas system. ”
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.
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.
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.
You can resume all your daily activities immediately after treatment. You may experience some mild discomfort or redness, but there’s no recovery period.
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.
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.
Ultherapy PRIME® is meant for lifting the skin in the following areas:
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.
Ultherapy PRIME is a perfectly safe procedure with a proven track record. It’s performed in over 75 countries, with 1.5 million+ treatments administered globally. Furthermore, ultrasound energy has been used in medicine for over 50 years. All things considered, it’s completely safe.
Ultherapy PRIME is one of the only FDA-approved non-invasive cosmetic procedures capable of treating a turkey neck, i.e., a neck with excessively hanging skin tissues. Ultherapy PRIME jump start’s your body’s collagen production capabilities and tightens your skin tissues, drastically reducing the turkey wattle.
Ultherapy PRIME doesn’t add a filler but rather stimulates your body’s natural collagen production capabilities. As such, the longevity of the results varies from one individual to the next. In most cases, the treatment results gradually appear in two to three months, and they last for over a year. Your natural aging process will determine how long the freshly-produced collagen remains in your skin.
Ultherapy PRIME is a noninvasive procedure without downtime. You can resume all your daily activities and work immediately, without following any post-procedural guidelines.
Most patients only need one Ultherapy PRIME treatment. However, people with excessive sagging skin tissues and laxity may benefit from multiple treatments. You should ideally opt for one Ultherapy PRIME session per year to maintain the results.
