How long do Ultherapy results last?

Most patients see results lasting 12–18 months. Because Ultherapy works by stimulating your own collagen, results vary based on skin quality, age, and lifestyle. Annual or biannual booster sessions help maintain the result.

Focused Ultrasound Lifting

Ultherapy PRIME®

Q: How is Ultherapy PRIME® different from lasers?

Ultherapy PRIME® uses focused ultrasound, not light energy. It reaches deeper tissue layers that lasers cannot — specifically the SMAS layer targeted in surgical facelifts. HQ Med Spa uses the PRIME platform with real-time imaging so providers see exactly where energy is delivered.

Q: Can Ultherapy PRIME® replace a surgical facelift?

For mild to moderate skin laxity, Ultherapy delivers meaningful lifting without surgery, anesthesia, or recovery time. For patients with significant sagging, a surgical consultation may be more appropriate — we'll give you an honest assessment at your consultation.

Overview

What is Ultherapy PRIME®?

Ultherapy PRIME® uses micro-focused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) to target the deep foundational layer of tissue — the same SMAS layer that surgeons address in a surgical facelift. The difference is precision without incisions. Ultrasound energy is delivered at exact depths (1.5mm, 3mm, 4.5mm) to stimulate collagen and trigger a genuine lifting response over time.

Ultherapy PRIME® is the latest generation platform, featuring real-time imaging so your provider sees exactly where energy is being placed — not a blind treatment. FDA-cleared for non-surgical lifting of the brow, chin, neck, and décolletage.

Treatment Options

Two treatment options

Ultherapy PRIME® Eye Treatment targets the brow area, lifting drooping eyebrows for a more refreshed, open appearance.

Ultherapy PRIME® uses a regular head for the mid and lower face — lifting the jawline, tightening the neck, and improving the décolletage. Your provider will recommend the right option during your free consultation.

The Experience

What to expect during your session

Your treatment begins with imaging — your provider views the tissue layers in real time to map the optimal treatment plan. Sessions run 60–90 minutes. You'll feel brief, intense bursts of heat at each treatment point — this sensation lasts only a fraction of a second per pulse and is the sign that energy is being delivered at the correct depth. Topical numbing is available and recommended.

Mild redness and tenderness resolve within hours. You can return to full activity the same day.

Results

When will you see results?

Unlike Botox (immediate) or fillers (same-day), Ultherapy works gradually as new collagen forms. Most patients notice an initial response in the weeks following treatment, with full lifting apparent at 3–6 months.

Results last 12–18 months on average. A booster session at 12 months is the most common maintenance approach. Combining Ultherapy with Morpheus8 addresses different tissue depths for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Can I combine Ultherapy with Botox or fillers?

Yes, and it's a popular combination. Ultherapy lifts structurally; Botox relaxes dynamic wrinkles; fillers restore volume. These treatments address different concerns and work well together. Your provider will recommend optimal timing — typically Botox or fillers can be done same-day or shortly before/after Ultherapy.
