Our skin inevitably shows signs of ageing through wrinkles, fine lines, and a gradual loss of elasticity and firmness. This natural ageing process is influenced by genetics, lifestyle, and environmental exposures.
Visible signs of ageing can affect one’s confidence and self-perception. In response to the desire to maintain a youthful appearance, medical aesthetic procedures are available to support individuals in addressing these concerns.
Among these is Ultherapy Prime, a non-invasive treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound with real-time visualisation. It targets the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating the body’s natural collagen production to support skin firmness over time. Unlike traditional ultrasound-based treatments, Ultherapy Prime offers improved customisation by allowing physicians to visualise skin layers during treatment and adjust depth and spacing for more precise energy delivery.
Ultherapy Prime is an updated version of traditional Ultherapy, designed with a shorter focal depth and finer line spacing. These adjustments allow for more tailored energy delivery across a wider range of treatment zones, including areas such as the jawline, under the chin and the brows. The visualisation feature allows doctors to see beneath the skin in real time, helping to guide energy to the intended tissue layers.
Ultherapy Prime offers a non-invasive option for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity. In Singapore’s climate, where sun exposure and environmental stress can contribute to premature ageing, many individuals explore treatments that support collagen regeneration and skin structure.
Ultherapy effectively targets the deeper skin layers, promotes collagen production to reduce fine lines, sagging skin and improves overall skin elasticity.
By tightening and lifting loose skin, Ultherapy offers a solution to achieve a more defined facial contour and a sharper jawline.
Unlike surgical procedures, Ultherapy Prime stimulates gradual changes as the skin responds to the ultrasound energy. It is able to deliver subtle but noticeable results that complement Asian features without altering the fundamental essence of one’s appearance.
Ultherapy Prime treatment at Lux Medical Aesthetic Clinic in Singapore starts with a consultation to understand the patient’s skin concerns and to tailor the treatment to their specific needs. If Ultherapy is deemed suitable for the patient, the medical procedure will follow.
During the consultation phase at Lux Medical Aesthetic Clinic, an in-depth analysis of the patient’s skin condition and a discussion of their aesthetic goals are conducted. The doctor will assess the patient’s skin type, level of skin laxity and any underlying medical conditions that may affect the treatment.
Who is suitable to undergo this treatment?
Ultherapy Prime may be suitable for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity. Most patients are in their 30s or older, although younger individuals may choose treatment for preventive purposes. A consultation is required to determine suitability.
Prospective patients will learn about how Ultherapy Prime uses ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production beneath the skin, leading to a non-invasive lifting and tightening effect. The doctor will outline what the procedure involves, its duration, the sensation experienced during treatment, and what to expect in results and recovery time. This session is an opportunity for patients to discuss their concerns or questions so that they can be fully informed and comfortable with the procedure before proceeding.
How many treatments will I need? One treatment session is sufficient to achieve significant results. However, patients with high or moderate skin laxity and those who want to lift and firm more may choose more than one treatment session. Treatments can be done after every nine to twelve months to maintain the results.
After determining suitability for the Ultherapy treatment, the patient’s skin is first cleansed, and a numbing cream will be applied for 20-30 minutes to ensure the procedure is comfortable.
The numbing cream will then be washed off and replaced with a special ultrasound gel. The Ultherapy device is placed against the treated area’s skin, and there will be precise ultrasound visualisation of the layers of skin tissue through ultrasound imaging. This ensures precise energy delivery to where it is most beneficial.
The Ultherapy transducers come with different depths. For the face area, there are usually 3 different depths used. Mainly the 4.5mm, 3.0mm, 1.5mm. Different depths can be used in different areas depending on skin concerns. The number of shots, intensity of each shot, and depth used will be customised according to each patient’s skin and their concerns.
What happens during treatment sessions? The device emits micro-focused ultrasound energy to the deeper layers of the skin, the SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system). These ultrasound waves stimulate natural collagen production, which is a key component in lifting, toning, and tightening the skin.
Patients might experience sensations of heat and tingling during the application of ultrasound energy; these indicate that the collagen-building process has been initiated. The whole procedure lasts about 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the individual skin-tightening treatment plan.
The beauty of Ultherapy is its non-invasive nature, which contrasts sharply with surgical facelifts, offering a significant advantage through its minimal recovery period. If patients experience slight swelling or redness, these are temporary and should subside within a few hours after the procedure.
Regular follow-ups and maintenance treatments every 9-12 months can help to optimise the results and longevity of the ultherapy treatment.
Can I resume my daily activities right after the treatment? Yes. Ultherapy doesn’t affect the skin’s surface, allowing you to resume your regular activities immediately post-procedure.
Are there any side effects? Most patients experience no downtime. However, it’s not uncommon for treated areas to exhibit slight swelling and redness.
Will I see results immediately? You may notice lifting right after the procedure, but the full effects take three to six months to appear. This is the time when your body produces new collagen and elastin for your skin to appear more youthful and firmer.
How long will the effects of the therapy last? Effects vary on individuals and their skin ageing process. The newly laid down collagen slowly depletes via the natural skin ageing process over time, typically in 1-2 years.
