Ultherapy® Prime: The Gold Standard in Non-Surgical Lifting
At Astute Clinic, we believe that true rejuvenation begins beneath the surface — where
collagen lives, strengthens, and supports the skin’s natural structure.
Ultherapy® Prime represents the latest evolution of the globally renowned Ultherapy®
system, a non-invasive lifting treatment powered by Micro-Focused Ultrasound with Real-Time Imaging (MFU-V) technology.
While many treatments claim to lift and tighten, Ultherapy® remains the only FDA-
cleared procedure that precisely visualizes and delivers energy to the SMAS layer
(Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) — the same foundational layer targeted in surgical facelifts — without downtime or incisions.
How Ultherapy® Prime Works
Ultherapy® Prime uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to heat targeted tissue layers at precise depths (1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm), triggering a biological wound-healing cascade. This process stimulates new collagen and elastin formation, leading to a natural lift and improved firmness over 3 to 6 months.
What sets Ultherapy® Prime apart from earlier generations:
● Enhanced comfort algorithm for a gentler experience.
● Improved energy distribution for consistent results.
● Optimized transducer depth for delicate areas such as the lower face, jawline, and periorbital region.
● Integration with Astute’s custom lifting protocols developed by Dr. Jason Yip,
combining clinical precision with aesthetic artistry.
Clinical Validation
Numerous studies confirm that Ultherapy® increases dermal collagen density and
improves elasticity.
A pivotal clinical study published in Dermatologic Surgery showed:
● 70% of patients experienced visible lifting of the lower face and neck within 3
months.
● 95% reported improved skin firmness at 6 months.
● Histological analysis revealed up to 42% new collagen synthesis post-treatment.
Dr. Jason Yip further enhances these results at Astute Clinic with custom vector
mapping and layered collagen-induction techniques, ensuring a precise, personalized lift for each facial structure.
What to Expect During Treatment
1. Consultation:
Every Ultherapy® Prime journey begins with a professional assessment and
personalized treatment plan.
2. Ultrasound Mapping:
Real-time imaging identifies optimal depth and energy placement — a key safety and
precision advantage unique to Ultherapy®.
3. Treatment Delivery:
Controlled ultrasound pulses are delivered into target layers, initiating the collagen
regeneration process.
4. Post-Treatment:
No downtime — patients may return to work immediately. Mild tenderness indicates
active collagen stimulation.
FAQ
1. Is Ultherapy® Prime painful?
Most patients describe it as tolerable warmth and tingling. The latest Ultherapy® Prime
technology includes optimized energy pulses for greater comfort compared to older models.
2. How soon will I see results?
Initial tightening can be noticed immediately, with progressive lifting and skin firmness
improvement peaking at 3–6 months.
3. How long do results last?
Collagen renewal continues for up to a year, and most patients maintain results for 12–18 months, depending on lifestyle and skin condition.
4. How is Ultherapy® different from HIFU?
Unlike HIFU, Ultherapy® uses real-time ultrasound imaging, ensuring energy is delivered to precise tissue layers safely. It’s the only system with FDA clearance for non-invasive lifting of the face, neck, and décolletage.
5. Can it be combined with injectables or other treatments?
Yes — Ultherapy® Prime integrates beautifully with fillers, bio-regenerative treatments,
and skin boosters, forming part of Astute’s 360° Facial Architecture Program designed by Dr. Jason Yip.
