By now we're sure most people have heard of Ultherapy Prime but we’re also seeing a lot of posts from people worried about facial hollowing or 'wasted money' because they didn't see a lift after this procedure.

While Ultherapy Prime provides the powerful ultrasound energy that creates the lift (thermal coagulation points at a depth of 3.0mm or 4.5mm, triggering your body's natural healing process to produce new collagen and physically tighten the tissue), the doctor’s mapping prior to the procedure is also important to ensuring safety and effectiveness (image 4 onwards to check out our consultation procedure).

• Respecting Your Bone Structure: Everyone’s anatomy is a fingerprint. Whether you have high cheekbones or a narrow jaw, these markings ensure we deliver the lifting energy where it’s needed while strictly avoiding areas that could lead to a "hollowed" look.
• Correcting Asymmetry: No face is perfectly symmetrical. By manually adjusting the tension points and focal areas on each side of the face we ensure the final silhouette is fluid and natural, not stiff or "pulled."
• The 3D Aesthetic: Modern lifting isn’t just about pulling skin, it's about volume. We map out where to lift and where to support with collagen stimulation to create a natural, 3D contour that isn't exaggerated.

By being able to differentiate between your supportive SMAS layer and your essential fat pads we can avoid any fear of losing unnecessary volume. We map your face to avoid the areas that need volume while tightening the jawline!

While the mapping handles the aesthetic the Ultherapy Prime technology handles the safety. We know there are a lot of rumors about "recycled tips" or "fake machines" in high-traffic areas. We always invite our client's to use the NFC Touch feature on their own phone to verify the authenticity of the machine and the specific transducers before beginning the procedure.

Feel free to drop any questions below and we'll be happy to answer them!
