Ultherapy vs. Ultherapy PRIME: What’s the Difference?

At Signature Medical Spa, we pride ourselves on offering the most advanced non-surgical treatments to help you look and feel your best. One of our most popular skin-tightening solutions, Ultherapy®, has long been a go-to for patients seeking a non-invasive lift. Now, we’re excited to introduce the next evolution in this technology—Ultherapy PRIME®.

If you’ve been considering skin tightening but aren’t sure which option is right for you, we’re breaking down the key differences between Ultherapy and Ultherapy PRIME so you can make a confident, informed decision.

What Is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production deep beneath the skin’s surface. It’s most commonly used to lift and tighten the skin on the brow, chin, neck, and décolletage—with no needles, no downtime, and no surgery.

For years, Ultherapy has offered clients natural-looking, long-lasting results that gradually improve over 2–3 months following treatment.

Enter Ultherapy PRIME: The Next Generation

Ultherapy PRIME builds on the trusted foundation of Ultherapy but introduces several upgraded features designed to enhance precision, comfort, and personalization.

Here’s how Ultherapy PRIME improves upon the original:

1. Enhanced Comfort

Traditional Ultherapy can be moderately uncomfortable for some patients due to the depth of energy delivery. Ultherapy PRIME was specifically designed with refined energy modulation and upgraded handpieces to create a more comfortable treatment experience without compromising effectiveness.

2. Better Customization with Real-Time Imaging

Both Ultherapy and Ultherapy PRIME use ultrasound imaging to target the deeper layers of the skin—but PRIME offers improved visualization, allowing providers to customize treatments even more precisely based on your unique anatomy. This results in more accurate energy placement, enhancing both safety and outcomes.

3. Streamlined Treatments

Ultherapy PRIME features faster treatment times compared to the original. The improved handpiece design and smarter technology allow for more efficient energy delivery, making your session quicker and more comfortable without sacrificing results.

4. Greater Versatility for Delicate Areas

Ultherapy PRIME’s upgraded system makes it easier to treat smaller and more delicate areas of the face, such as the under-eye region and jawline, with even greater control. This makes it an excellent option for patients looking for more subtle refinements or touch-ups in previously difficult-to-reach areas.

Ready to Lift, Tighten, and Glow?

If you’ve had Ultherapy in the past and loved your results, Ultherapy PRIME offers the same collagen-boosting benefits—but with more comfort, faster sessions, and enhanced precision. If you’re new to Ultherapy, now is the perfect time to explore the treatment with the upgraded PRIME platform.

At Signature Medical Spa, we’ll guide you through a personalized consultation to determine the right approach for your skin goals. Our experienced providers are trained in both versions of Ultherapy and will ensure you receive the most effective and tailored treatment possible.
