Experience a natural lift with Ultherapy Prime at our leading Edinburgh clinic. This non-surgical treatment uses advanced ultrasound technology to tighten skin and boost collagen production, creating firmer, more youthful-looking skin without downtime. Perfect for those seeking subtle yet visible results without surgery.
One of the biggest benefits of Ultherapy is that it stimulates your body’s own collagen production, resulting in a natural-looking lift. There’s no risk of an overdone appearance.
Ultherapy is a safe and effective treatment that delivers subtle yet significant results over time with minimum downtime.
How Ultherapy® Works?
Ultherapy Prime precisely targets ultrasound energy deep into the skin layers where collagen and elastin are produced. This energy heats triggers collagen regeneration for natural skin tightening and lifting results.
Collagen is the protein responsible for giving skin its firmness and elasticity, but as we age, collagen production declines, leading to sagging skin and wrinkles. Ultherapy stimulates the body to produce new, stronger collagen, resulting in tighter, firmer skin over time.
What makes Ultherapy unique is its ability to treat deep foundational layers of the skin, similar to those targeted during a surgical facelift.
What Ultherapy® Can Treat
Ultherapy Prime delivers long-lasting skin tightening and lifting, targeting key areas of the face, brow, jawline and neck for a refreshed, more defined look.
- Brow lift: opens up the eyes for a refreshed look.
- Lower Face and jowls: improves definition and reduces sagging.
- Jawline: creates a more sculpted appearance.
- Neck and under chin: smooths crepey skin and tightens the area.
Before and After
What to Expect During Treatment
Ultherapy treatments typically take between 30 - 120 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Here’s what happens during the procedure:
- Consultation: To discuss your concerns, goals, and whether Ultherapy is the right option for you. They’ll also take a detailed look at your skin’s condition to tailor the treatment plan to your needs.
- Preparation: On the day of your treatment, your skin will be cleansed, and an ultrasound gel will be applied. The practitioner will use a handheld device to deliver the ultrasound energy to the targeted areas.
- During the Procedure: As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you will feel a warming or tingling sensation beneath your skin. Some areas may feel more intense than others, but the discomfort is generally manageable.
- After the Procedure: Once the treatment is complete, you can return to your normal activities immediately. There’s no need to take time off work or avoid social events.
Aftercare and Recovery
One of the biggest advantages of Ultherapy is that there’s minimal downtime. Most patients experience little to no redness or swelling, and any side effects typically subside within a few hours. Here’s what you should know about aftercare:
- Immediate Effects: You might notice a slight lifting or tightening sensation immediately after treatment, but this is just the beginning. The real results develop over time as new collagen is produced.
- Skin Sensitivity: Some people may experience mild tenderness, swelling, or bruising, but these effects are temporary.
- Skincare Routine: Stick to a gentle skincare routine in the days following your treatment. Avoid harsh exfoliants or active ingredients like retinoids until your skin feels completely normal.
Is Ultherapy Prime safe?
Yes. Ultherapy Prime has been proven safe through extensive clinical studies and millions of treatments worldwide. It uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen in the deeper layers of your skin without damaging the surface.
Does Ultherapy Prime hurt?
Most people find Ultherapy Prime comfortable, though some areas may feel more intense than others. You may experience a warming or tingling sensation as the ultrasound energy is delivered. Your practitioner can adjust the intensity, and taking over-the-counter pain relief before treatment can help if needed.
Can Ultherapy Prime be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. Many patients choose to combine Ultherapy with anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, or skin boosters to enhance their overall results. Your practitioner will advise on the best combination based on your goals.
Is there a difference between HIFU and Ultherapy?
Yes. HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a general term for ultrasound skin tightening, whereas Ultherapy is the original, patented version. Ultherapy includes real-time ultrasound imaging, which allows practitioners to see and target the exact layers of skin. This precision makes it safer and more effective than copycat HIFU machines.
When is the best age to start Ultherapy Prime?
There’s no set age, but most patients start in their late 30s to 50s, when loss of collagen production starts to show. Starting earlier can help maintain firmness, while later treatments can still deliver impressive lifting and tightening.
When to Expect Results
Ultherapy delivers gradual, natural-looking results. You’ll typically start noticing an improvement in the treated area about 2-3 months after your procedure, with full results visible around 6 months later. This is because it takes time for your body to produce new collagen and for the skin to lift and tighten.
The longevity of the results depends on your skin’s condition, age, and lifestyle factors such as sun exposure and smoking. Most patients find that the results last 1-2 years, and many choose to have annual maintenance treatments to prolong the effects.
