Ultherapy® Prime: Why It’s Our Choice Over the Previous Ultherapy® Device

If you’re a skin and anti-aging aficionado, you may have heard of something called Ultherapy® Prime — as in the newest model of the cult-favorite Ultherapy® device. The latest device was brought to market in late 2024 and already has won the 2025 NewBeauty award for Best Nonsurgical Skin Tightener. And MedBeautyLA is proud to be an Ultherapy® Prime provider in Los Angeles.

Okay, What Even Is Ultherapy®?

Ultherapy® is a non-invasive anti-aging treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate the body’s natural collagen and elastin production deep within the skin. Unlike lasers or radiofrequency devices, Ultherapy penetrates deeper—targeting the same foundational layers that plastic surgeons address during a facelift.

What Ultherapy Prime® and the Previous Ultherapy® Device Have In Common:

Both the Ultherapy® Prime and regular Ultherapy® devices deliver real results without needles, incisions, or anesthesia. By stimulating collagen deep below the skin’s surface, they create a lifting effect over time. Clients often see improvement in skin firmness and definition in the lower face, jawline, and under-chin areas.

Because both treatments rely on your body’s natural healing response, results appear gradually over 2–3 months. This slow transformation is ideal for clients in creative, style-conscious neighborhoods like Silver Lake and Echo Park, where a subtle, authentic aesthetic is often preferred.

 

Both treatments triggers new collagen and elastin — the proteins responsible for firm, youthful skin. While topical products can only go so far, Ultherapy® activates renewal from within, making your skin look tighter and fresher.

Neither treatment entails any downtime. With both Ultherapy® Prime and the older Ultherapy device, you can resume your day immediately after treatment. Some clients may experience mild redness or swelling, but it typically resolves within a few hours.

How Ultherapy® Prime and the Previous Ultherapy® Device Differ

Accuracy

Ultherapy® Prime uses more advanced imaging technology, leading to the most precise treatments possible. This also means that you will receive the most customized treatment possible.

Reduced Treatment Time

Whereas treatments on the older device can take up to two hours, treatment with Ultherapy® Prime typically takes 30-60 minutes.

More Comfortable Treatments

The newer technology also makes for a much more tolerable treatment experience for patients.

 

What to Expect During Your Ultherapy® Prime Treatment

When you visit our office in downtown LA, your Ultherapy® Prime treatment begins with a personalized consultation. Your provider will evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and determine if you’re a good candidate. The actual treatment typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

You may feel brief warmth or tingling as the ultrasound energy is delivered, but discomfort is minimal and short-lived. We also offer topical numbing or comfort enhancers to ensure a relaxed, spa-like experience.

Results Timeline: When Will I See the Lift?

Most clients begin to see visible improvement in skin firmness and tone within 6 to 12 weeks, with optimal results appearing around the 3-month mark. Some continue to see benefits for up to 6 months, as collagen production continues to increase. Results can last 12–18 months, depending on your skin type, age, and lifestyle.

For many of our LA clients, Ultherapy® Prime becomes a yearly maintenance treatment to keep their skin youthful and lifted naturally.
