Ultherapy PRIME in Singapore
What is Ultherapy PRIME?
Ultherapy PRIME uses the latest advanced technology to tighten, tone, and lift your skin. It is an FDA-approved treatment that targets deep structural layers of the skin with the use of precise ultrasound energy to stimulate the production of new collagen in the cells, creating a natural lifting result.
Ultherapy PRIME is the only non-invasive treatment cleared by the FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration) for lifting the skin on the neck, chin, and brow, as well as improve lines and wrinkles on the décolletage (neck and chest area) by using microfocused ultrasound technology to tighten loose skin over time. Patients are not required to go under the knife when undergoing Ultherapy PRIME treatments in Singapore, and Ultherapy PRIME also has no downtime.
Featuring natural-looking results that improve over time, Ultherapy PRIME integrates vivid, real-time imaging with microfocused ultrasound to encourage the body’s natural collagen production for a long-lasting lift. Effective and safe for all types of skin tones, this procedure is most suited to those who have started experiencing looseness or a loss of elasticity in their skin. While Ultherapy PRIME does not fully replicate the outcome of a surgical facelift, it is, however, a non-surgical alternative for those looking to lift their skin.
What can Ultherapy Prime treat?
Ultherapy PRIME works to tighten, tone, and lift sagging skin on and around your face. The following are some suggested targeted areas and the projected results from Ultherapy PRIME treatment.
- Eyebrows Ultherapy PRIME for your brow area can open up your eye area and lift your brows. The treatment can also reduce eyelid hooding and wrinkles, resulting in an enhanced appearance as you look more rejuvenated and radiant.
- Chin If Ultherapy PRIME is targeted at your chin area, the treatment can lift and tighten loose skin around the area, resulting in firmer, more resilient skin.
- Neck By targeting areas under the chin and around the neck, Ultherapy PRIME can reduce wrinkles and tighten loose skin, making you look more refreshed and youthful.
- Lower face When directed to your lower face, Ultherapy PRIME treatment can help you look revitalised by softening the harsh laugh lines and restoring fullness to your cheeks.
- Jowls With Ultherapy PRIME treatment for your jowls, which is the loose, sagging skin below your jawline, you can have a sharper and more defined jawline once again.
- Full face Ultherapy PRIME treatment for your full face helps to elevate and tighten the skin on your entire face, including your lower face and the area above your eyebrows.
- Upper face If you are looking for a lift around your eyes, you can consider Ultherapy PRIME for your upper face. It raises the area around your forehead and brows, making you look more youthful and refreshed.
- Around your mouth When applied to the area around your mouth, Ultherapy PRIME can lift and tighten the skin, reducing sagging skin, fine lip lines, or wrinkles to boost your skin’s resilience and firmness. It gives the skin around the area a natural lift by reducing the lines around your mouth, resulting in smoother skin. The treatment can also enhance the definition of your lips and their natural contour, refining the overall structure and appearance of your mouth.
How does Ultherapy PRIME work?
Most treatments for Ultherapy PRIME in Singapore work the same. Ultherapy PRIME uses microfocused ultrasound to lift and tighten loose skin over time. The ultrasound waves will penetrate deeply into the skin layers without actually harming the skin, thus increasing collagen production in the body.
Collagen, which comprises 30% of the body’s protein, keeps your skin firm and toned, helping to maintain your skin’s youthfulness. Our skin grows weaker and less elastic as we age due to the breakdown of collagen. Therefore, Ultherapy PRIME aids our body’s collagen-forming process for natural-looking results.
Our doctor will examine your skin before treatment to determine problem areas so the ultrasound waves can be delivered precisely, as Ultherapy PRIME treatment can be customised to your requirements.
You may consider this treatment if you are beginning to experience loose skin on your chin and under your neck or if wrinkles and lines are starting to form on your chest. Ultherapy PRIME is also a treatment alternative if you are interested in achieving a V-shaped face, or if you just want to be one step ahead in maintaining your youthful glow.
Pre-treatment preparation
Before you start Ultherapy PRIME treatment, you will meet your doctor for a consultation, where they will assess your skin and determine the areas to be treated. You can also discuss your goals or concerns with your doctor so they can address your worries and devise a personalised plan based on your needs.
On the days leading up to the treatment, there is minimal preparation needed. You can maintain your daily routine, including your regular diet and exercise. However, you should stop taking any blood-thinning medications if you are doing so. If you are taking any daily medications, or if you are using any topical creams or skincare in your beauty regime, you may check with your doctor if you have any concerns.
You should also avoid excessive sun exposure, alcohol, caffeine, and products that exfoliate or bleach your skin, as these may make your skin more sensitive while you are undergoing Ultherapy PRIME treatment.
During treatment
Wear loose, comfortable clothing for your appointment and ensure your targeted treatment areas are clean and free from any product or makeup. After you arrive for your appointment, your doctor may map out the treatment areas on your body with a surgical marker to establish accuracy during treatment. You may also need numbing cream depending on your treatment area and pain tolerance, as certain areas of your body may be more sensitive.
During treatment, your doctor will apply ultrasound gel on your treatment areas and set the treatment device against your skin. You may feel heat or a tingling sensation during your treatment, but there is no need to worry. This indicates the collagen-forming process has begun, and these sensations will die down once your treatment is complete.
Post-treatment care
As Ultherapy PRIME has zero downtime, you can immediately carry on with your daily activities as usual, subject to your doctor’s instructions. You can resume your regular routine at once after the procedure, including exercising, working, and socialising.
Nonetheless, there are a few things you should avoid. Stay away from smoking and excessive drinking, as these can decrease collagen formation and affect skin elasticity. You should also avoid sun exposure or the regular use of anti-inflammatory medications for one month. You may ask your doctor for more information if you are unsure about the medications you are taking.
After the treatment, you may experience mild symptoms that will subside over time. For example, the treated area may be bruised, pinkish or reddish, swollen, or flushed. You may also feel a slight tingling sensation.
If your jawline or cheekbones were treated, they may feel tender to the touch, such as when you are touching your face, washing your face, or putting on makeup. However, you do not need to worry, as these temporary symptoms will not hamper your ability to eat, talk, or move your facial muscles.
Moreover, your doctor may prescribe certain topical products to help boost collagen production and skin elasticity. Your doctor may also suggest follow-up Ultherapy PRIME sessions for more effective results in your targeted areas.
Benefits of Ultherapy in Singapore
Non-surgical
All Ultherapy PRIME treatments in Singapore are non-invasive and do not require surgery, so there will not be any physical harm to the skin. This treatment only uses ultrasound technology that will sink into the skin’s surface and target the right amount of depth.
FDA-approved
When you undergo treatments for Ultherapy PRIME in Singapore, you will not be at risk as it has been FDA-approved. This treatment has been subjected to many tests to ensure safety and efficiency. Hence, it is a safe procedure for all skin types.
Minimal downtime

Depending on where you are treated, the duration of Ultherapy PRIME® treatment lasts from 30 to 90 minutes, and you will be free to return to your normal activities right after your treatment is completed. Some patients might experience slight swelling, tingling, and tenderness. However, such cases are rare and temporary, and should not interfere with your normal activities.

Ultherapy PRIME’s Hyper-Personal Lift Treatment: Three Stages – See, Plan, Treat (S.P.T.)

Ultherapy PRIME Cost in Singapore
Before undergoing any treatment, it is only natural to want to know the average price for Ultherapy PRIME treatments in aesthetic clinics. The average Ultherapy PRIME treatment cost in Singapore depends on how many sessions each patient requires as well as their specific needs; there is no fixed price for each individual.
Frequently Asked Questions for Ultherapy PRIME in Singapore
How long does it take to see Ultherapy PRIME results?
Some patients can expect slight improvements immediately, but you should expect to see results in two to three months as neocollagenesis will occur during this period.
How is Ultherapy PRIME different from other cosmetic procedures?
Ultherapy PRIME is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses focused ultrasound to stimulate the formation of new collagen deep below the skin’s surface. The production of new collagen takes time, so results can become more apparent from two to three months up to six months.
The procedure takes about 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area treated, and there is no downtime after the treatment. It is also the only procedure to use real-time ultrasound imaging, which allows practitioners to actually see the layers of tissue targeted during the treatment and ensure the energy is directed precisely to where it will be most beneficial.
Can Ultherapy PRIME replace a facelift?
Ultherapy PRIME treats the deep foundational layer addressed in cosmetic surgery but won’t duplicate the results of a surgical facelift. Nonetheless, Ultherapy PRIME is a great alternative, especially for those not ready for surgery or for patients looking to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery.
How does Ultherapy PRIME differ from laser treatments?
Ultherapy PRIME uses sound energy — tried-and-true ultrasound — which has unique properties that allow it to bypass the surface of the skin to treat depths unmatched by any other non-invasive cosmetic device. Ultherapy PRIME ultrasound stimulates collagen production in the skin’s foundation, resulting in a clinically significant lift of tissue over two to three months. Some lasers rely on light energy, which cannot reach deeper skin layers. Typically, laser treatments also only treat superficial skin and are not FDA-cleared to lift skin.
How long do the effects of Ultherapy PRIME last?
Since the procedure stimulates collagen production, the effectiveness of the results depends on the individual and usually lasts for 12 to 16 months. The treatment produces new collagen within your skin, but your natural ageing process will dictate how long that translates into visible results on the outside. Nonetheless, future touch-up treatments can help provide more control over the ageing process, which varies by individual.
Are there any side effects?
There may be slight redness that typically resolves within a few hours following the treatment. Some patients’ treatment areas may have slight swelling, tingling, or tenderness to the touch, but these are mild and temporary in nature.
How many treatments are needed?
The majority of patients only need one Ultherapy PRIME treatment in Singapore; however, some may benefit from more than one treatment, depending on their skin laxity, their body’s biological response to the ultrasound, and their body’s collagen-building process.
What does collagen do? How does Ultherapy PRIME stimulate the creation of collagen?
Collagen is a natural protein that gives skin its youthfulness by keeping it firm and toned. As we age, collagen breaks down, and the result is a loss of skin strength and elasticity. Ultherapy PRIME uses microfocused ultrasound to generate a thermal effect under the skin. The thermal effect essentially jump-starts a process that produces fresh, new collagen.
What is the average price for Ultherapy PRIME in Singapore?
While you may refer to CuraMed Aesthetics’ price list above, the cost of Ultherapy PRIME treatments in Singapore depends on each individual and their personal goals. You will receive a personalised consultation from a medical professional who can better advise you on an accurate estimate.
Is Ultherapy PRIME safe?
Yes, definitely! There have been over three million treatments performed in more than 80 countries, and Ultherapy PRIME is scientifically supported by more than 120 publications. Moreover, ultrasound energy has been used in the medical field for more than 50 years and has a credible track record.
