What is Ultherapy®Prime?
Ultherapy®Prime is an advanced, FDA-cleared, non-surgical facelift treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to boost collagen production deep within the skin. As the body produces new collagen, the skin tightens and lifts over time, creating a smoother, more defined appearance.
How the Procedure Works
Consultation
At Dr. Addison Aesthetics, your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. During this visit, Dr. Addison will evaluate your skin concerns and determine if Ultherapy®Prime is the right skin-lifting treatment for you.
The Treatment Process
- Optional topical anesthetic may be applied to ensure comfort.
- A handheld Ultherapy®Prime device delivers precise ultrasound energy to the targeted skin layers.
- The ultrasound energy stimulates collagen production, gradually tightening and lifting the skin.
- The procedure typically lasts up to 90 minutes only, depending on the treatment area.
- Patients may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation, but the treatment is well-tolerated.
Post-Treatment Recovery
- No incisions, no downtime – most patients can resume normal activities immediately.
- Some mild redness or tenderness may occur but typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours.
- The lifting and tightening effects develop gradually over two to three months as new collagen forms.
