What Is Ultherapy Prime?

Our experts often consult with patients who say they would like to look younger naturally, without the pain, expense, or recovery of surgery. Ultherapy Prime is able to do exactly this by way of ultrasound-guided delivery of heat to the skin’s greatest collagen reservoirs, thereby stimulating the synthesis of new collagen and amplifying the collagen remodeling process, making up for years’ worth of age-related loss.

Ultherapy Prime differs from similar technologies, including traditional lasers and radiofrequency devices, in that it can reach greater depths to deliver precise amounts of energy at controlled temperatures optimal for neocollagenesis. The focused ultrasound energy technology allows the provider to personalize your treatment. With the optimized Ultherapy device, we can visualize the depth of your collagen reservoirs at different levels in the skin at various anatomic areas such as the eye area, lower face, neck, or the thicker skin of the abdomen or knees and beyond. This, in turn, results in significant tissue and skin lifting over 3-6 months time.

Proven Benefits of Ultherapy Procedures

Youthful skin has abundant amounts of collagen, a structural protein that acts as its scaffold, or foundation. However, as we age, a breakdown in collagen production causes the skin to sag and droop. Ultherapy Prime can renew one’s more youthful appearance by tightening lax skin and slowing the aging process.

Ultherapy Prime is a safe, effective, and non invasive procedure performed in office. With this approach, there is no need to worry about stitches, scarring, or the risks associated with general anesthesia. Immediately after your appointment, you can get right back to your busy schedule with no limitations or restrictions. We like to describe it as a “lunchtime lift” because it is so brief and minimally disruptive. There is truly no downtime and, even right after your customized treatment, it is impossible to tell that any procedure was performed.

Dr. Marmur’s measure of whether a treatment really works is from patients and they not only love the Ultherapy treatment, but they also book new areas to have treated every year. Combine your Ultherapy Prime session with PRP or a chemical peel or any number of additional treatments to enhance your more youthful appearance.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Ultherapy Prime?

Ultherapy results are most effective for most patients who would like to reverse signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles and mild skin laxity. An ideal candidate does not have profound sagging or severely sun-damaged skin or does not want surgery and would like natural looking results. Other individual factors include your skin’s quality and the results you hope to achieve; however, we may recommend complementary procedures to make your skin look flawless. These may include, but are not limited to, dermal fillers, neurotoxins, laser resurfacing, and submental liposuction.

Ultherapy Prime is one of the top choice for skin tightening treatments for people who are concerned about premature aging who are looking for preventive solutions to rejuvenate their youthful appearance without the risks and downtime associated with surgery. Ultherapy is ideal for anyone seeking a subtle, natural, gradual improvement, so no one will suspect you’ve had “work done.”

What You Can Expect During and After Ultherapy Procedures

The Ultherapy treatment process only has mild side effects. As the focused ultrasound energy starts taking effect, you’ll feel a warming sensation. If you are worried about any discomfort, you can ask us to apply a topical numbing cream before starting the procedure. You may experience minor redness, tenderness, tingling, sensitivity, and swelling after your treatment but these effects are temporary and typically resolves on their own.

As new collagen grows, Ultherapy causes tissue to tighten over time. You’ll notice a difference from your forehead to your décolletage, without the hazards and healing time associated with surgery. You can expect ongoing, natural-looking improvements in your skin over the next three to six months, which can last a year or more. While Ultherapy treatment doesn’t provide the same drastic skin tightening enhancements as surgical facelifts can, it is an ideal solution for people who are unwilling to commit to a more aggressive and disruptive option.

Many of our patients enjoy outstanding skin tightening results after a single treatment. However, you may wish to get maintenance treatments or selective areas boosted every six to twelve months to slow the natural aging process. After your Ultherapy treatment, be careful to shield your skin from further damage by staying hydrated, avoiding tobacco products, and protecting yourself from UV exposure.

Ultherapy Recovery

Our MMSkincare Post-Laser Revive Bundle has been created for your ongoing post-treatment skincare.

  1. In the morning, wash gently with our Luscious moisturizing cleanser, and pat your skin dry.
  2. Then, apply Revive Serum using 2 to 3 pumps on your fingertips to warm the serum. Apply to the skin in gentle, round strokes over the upper and lower eyelids, forehead, temples, cheeks, upper lip, chin, neck, and upper chest.
  3. Turn on the Green LED MMSphere or the MMSPhere2Go, placing it 12 to 20 inches away from your skin. The 20-minute treatment improves collagen and elastin production, increases skin energy via ATP to build the skin barrier, and activates retinoic acid skin rejuvenation—all without harsh ingredients!
  4. Add Rescue Cream to all areas of dry skin. Apply SPF 30-50, selecting tinted or untinted from the Sheer Clear or Sasha Suncare mineral products.
  5. In the evening, repeat the cleansing process, then apply Repose Serum as above. Illuminate with the Red LED MMSphere. Use the Repose hydrogel mask 1 to 3 times a week to improve collagen and elastin, reduce inflammation, and even help you sleep better.

NYC Ultherapy Prime FAQs

Ultherapy is less costly than most cosmetic surgeries because you do not have to pay for prescription medications, hospital privileges, nor anesthesiologist and surgeon fees. The providers at Marmur Medical will give you a more accurate estimate of your Ultherapy cost based on your skin condition during your private consultation.

Ultherapy treatment uses focused ultrasound energy to deliver outstanding results. It has the unique ability to reach depths other non-invasive devices cannot. By encouraging collagen and elastin production, one Ultherapy procedure can provide you with noticeably elevated and lifted skin over a few months. Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared skin tightening treatment. On the other hand, laser procedures use light energy to address other concerns such as sun damage, broken vessels, freckles, and fine lines or wrinkles.

Ultimately, since Ultherapy treatment and lasers offer unique benefits to certain patients, the best course of action is to meet with one of our experts to see who will be able to help you the most. Also, if indicated, you may choose to combine these procedures to achieve even more dramatic results.

Ultherapy Prime has received FDA approval for use on the face, neck, and chest areas. We can also use Ultherapy treatment to minimize the look of a double chin – a pocket of diet- and exercise-resistant fat. It can improve skin firmness and tighten sagging skin around the jawline without needing to undergo chin and neck liposuction.

Is Ultherapy customizable?

An experienced Ultherapy provider can adapt the procedure to meet your needs. For example, we can change the level at which the energy penetrates your skin. For even more dramatic results, we can also pair Ultherapy with other non-surgical facial treatments like facial fillers. During your initial consultation, ask us about all your options. We can design a treatment plan based on your unique concerns.

Ultherapy PRIME is a branded version of Ultherapy offered by Marmur Medical that combines all the proven features of traditional Ultherapy treatments with optimized ultrasound imaging for enhanced visualization and treatment precision. The core of Ultherapy PRIME is the noninvasive use of advanced ultrasound technology that reaches deep into the skin’s Superifical Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS) layers to stimulate production of collagen through a process called neocollagenesis. What makes Ultherapy PRIME unique is its ability to treat different skin depths and facial topographies, such as the neck, jaw, and eye area, to better meet/more effectively meet patient needs. This precise, targeted approach results in a consistent lift, tighter skin, and a more natural facial rejuvenation without surgery.

If you are experiencing mild skin laxity, fine lines, loose skin, or early signs of aging and prefer a nonsurgical approach, you may be a good candidate for Ultherapy PRIME. Because Ultherapy works by stimulating collagen production over time, maintaining healthy skin and realistic expectations are crucial. Individuals experiencing significant sagging skin, overhanging skin, or severe sun damage may benefit from surgical lifting and other related procedures.  

During your initial treatment, you’ll meet with a provider from Marmur Medical who will assess your skin condition and map the treatment area using ultrasound technology. Your provider will begin the process of neocollagenesis, or the stimulation of collagen cells using ultrasound energy. As the ultrasound energy is applied, you may feel a warming or tingling sensation. If treatment becomes painful, you can request a topical numbing agent to mediate discomfort. The duration of treatment depends on the extent of your treatment. Most patients may experience mild redness, slight swelling, tingling, or sensitivity in the days following treatment. Desired results, such as natural looking lifting, tightening, and firming of skin develop over approximately 3-6 months as new collagen is produced.  

Because Ultherapy works by stimulating the body’s collagen production, changes are gradual. Many patients experience tighter or smoother skin over approximately 3-6 months after treatment. While the effects of treatment can last approximately one year, sometimes longer, annual maintenance treatments are often recommended, especially for areas under continuous stress like the jaw or neck. Lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, skincare regimen, hydration, and smoking habits can also influence the longevity of your results.

Ultherapy PRIME can provide many of the aesthetic benefits typically associated with surgical lifts without the risks and recovery time of surgery. Because it is noninvasive, there are no incisions, no general anesthesia, and no stitches or scars. Patients typically return to their regular schedule shortly after treatment. Further, the precision of ultrasound technology allows your provider to target your skin’s SMAS deep layers to produce a skin lifting effect that improves gradually and naturally. Ultherapy PRIME can also be combined with other non-surgical treatments (e.g., fillers, lasers, etc.) for additional benefits, including smoothing, volume, or refinement.

Ultherapy PRIME is considered safe when performed by experienced providers like Marmur Medical’s team, which is recognized for utilizing advanced medical technology and practicing meticulous treatment mapping. Side effects can include temporary redness, mild swelling, tingling, tenderness, or slight sensitivity in treated areas. These are usually resolved in a few hours to a few days. Some patients may experience bruising or numbness but serious complications like burns or permanent scarring are rare. After treatment, using sun protection and gentle skincare, while avoiding aggressive treatments for several weeks can help ensure the best outcome and minimize the risk of hyperpigmentation or irritation.

Ultherapy PRIME can be combined with other treatments to improve overall aesthetic results, providing both skin lifting and refinement. During your consultation, a Marmur Medical provider will assess your anatomy, skin elasticity, areas of concern, and expectations, then map out which treatments or combinations will best restore your natural beauty.
