Halley Medical Aesthetics offers Ultherapy PRIME, a US FDA-cleared micro-focused ultrasound treatment for non-invasive skin lifting and tightening without surgery or downtime.
Ultherapy PRIME delivers micro-focused ultrasound energy beneath the skin to address skin laxity at different tissue depths. It can target the superficial dermis, deep dermis, and the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) layer, which is a deeper structural layer in our skin which could only be assessed by plastic surgeons in the past during surgical facelifts.
By directing controlled thermal energy points beneath the skin, Ultherapy PRIME stimulates the body’s natural collagen production process. This supports gradual improvements in skin firmness and lifting across areas such as the face, neck, and décolletage over time.
A key feature of Ultherapy PRIME is its real-time ultrasound imaging. This allows doctors to visualise tissue layers before delivering ultrasound energy, helping them plan the treatment according to each patient’s facial anatomy and areas of concern. The updated Ultherapy PRIME system also features a 35% larger high-resolution imaging screen compared to previous Ultherapy device, supporting clearer visualisation during treatment planning and delivery.
Ultherapy PRIME uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to create controlled thermal coagulation points beneath the skin. These points trigger the body’s natural repair response, including collagen neogenesis, where new collagen is gradually formed.
The treatment can deliver energy at three different tissue depths. Each depth targets a specific anatomical layer, allowing doctors to address skin laxity across the skin’s support structures rather than treating only the surface.
At 1.5mm, micro-focused ultrasound energy is delivered to the superficial dermis. This is the upper layer of the skin where early signs of ageing, fine lines, texture changes, and mild laxity may appear.
Treatment at this depth supports collagen formation within the superficial skin layers and may be used in thinner or more delicate areas.
At 3.0mm, ultrasound energy reaches the deep dermis, where collagen and elastin fibres contribute to skin firmness and elasticity.
Delivering energy at this depth supports collagen remodelling within deeper skin layers and may be used in areas affected by mild to moderate skin laxity.
At 4.5mm, Ultherapy PRIME can deliver micro-focused ultrasound energy to the SMAS layer. This deeper fibrous layer helps support facial structure and is commonly associated with lifting procedures.
By targeting this layer, Ultherapy PRIME stimulates a healing response that supports collagen remodelling within deeper tissue layers, particularly in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, jowls, and neck.
Ultherapy PRIME can be used to treat areas where skin laxity commonly appears, including the:
A doctor will assess your skin condition, facial anatomy, and treatment goals to determine how to customise the Ultherapy PRIME treatment for you.
Ultherapy PRIME is clinically established and US FDA approved to lift and tighten the face and neck without surgery.
It works beneath the skin surface by stimulating the body’s natural collagen renewal process. Results are progressive rather than immediate, with changes developing over time according to each patient’s skin condition and treatment plan.
Ultherapy PRIME is typically performed as a single treatment session to achieve gradual, long-lasting lifting and tightening effects. However, your doctor may recommend maintenance treatments depending on your skin condition, treatment goals, and response over time.
Ultherapy PRIME may be used to treat multiple areas within the same session, including the brow area, cheeks, jawline, under the chin, neck, and décolletage.
Your doctor will customise the treatment based on your facial anatomy and the areas of concern discussed during consultation.
Ultherapy PRIME is designed for patients seeking a non-surgical alternative to a facelift. As a non-invasive treatment, most patients can return to their usual daily activities after the procedure, although they may experience temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness which will go away with time.
Ultherapy PRIME incorporates real-time ultrasound imaging, allowing doctors to visualise tissue layers before delivering ultrasound energy.
This supports personalised treatment planning by helping the doctor determine the appropriate treatment depth, energy placement, and areas to avoid.
At Halley Medical Aesthetics, Ultherapy PRIME treatment is planned around each patient’s skin condition, facial anatomy, and treatment goals. Our clinic uses authentic Ultherapy PRIME equipment, and offers treatment protocols designed to support safe, structured, and personalised energy delivery to ensure a safe and effective treatment.
We carry the full range of Ultherapy PRIME transducers in Singapore.
This allows us to treat different facial and neck areas with greater flexibility, including both larger treatment zones and smaller, more delicate areas that may be less suitable for longer treatment line lengths.
Shorter line-length transducers can be used in areas such as the periorbital area around the eyes, the submental area under the chin, and the perioral area around the mouth
Having access to a wider range of transducers allows us to customise treatment according to each patient’s facial anatomy, tissue depth, and areas of concern.
Patients who undergo the 800-line Ultherapy PRIME Amplify Protocol at Halley Medical Aesthetics will receive a personalised treatment record documenting the number of ultrasound lines delivered to each treatment area.
This record supports treatment continuity. During follow-up consultations, the doctor can review the previous session’s parameters and use the information to guide future treatment planning as the patient’s skin changes over time.
The See-Plan-Treat protocol provides a structured approach to Ultherapy PRIME treatment. It guides doctors through three key stages: seeing the tissue layers, planning energy delivery, and treating the selected areas according to the patient’s anatomy.
Doctors use the Ultherapy PRIME real-time visualiser to identify the target tissue depth and map the patient’s skin anatomy before energy is delivered.
A customised treatment plan is created based on the patient’s anatomy, treatment goals, and areas of concern.
This includes selecting the suitable transducers, determining the treatment depths, and planning how ultrasound energy should be distributed across each anatomical zone.
Micro-focused ultrasound energy is then delivered to the planned treatment zones at the selected depths.
The real-time visualiser allows the doctor to visualise tissue layers during the procedure and tailor energy delivery according to the treatment plan and the patient’s anatomy.
Your Ultherapy PRIME treatment begins with a consultation and assessment, followed by preparation, treatment, and post-treatment care.
Your doctor will assess your skin condition, areas of concern, facial anatomy, and suitability for Ultherapy PRIME.
This helps determine the treatment areas, treatment depths, number of lines needed, and whether Ultherapy PRIME is appropriate for your goals.
The treatment area will be cleansed before the procedure. A topical numbing cream is applied and left on for 15 to 20 minutes, and oral pain relief will also be prescribed before treatment to improve comfort.
During the procedure, the doctor applies a thin layer of ultrasound gel to the treatment area and uses the imaging system to visualise tissue layers beneath the skin.
This helps the doctor plan where to deliver the micro-focused ultrasound energy, determine the number of shots needed, and identify areas (i.e. bones, nerves) to avoid.
Patients commonly experience brief sensations of heat, tingling, or discomfort as ultrasound energy is delivered through the transducer and into the skin.
There is no downtime, and most patients can return to their daily activities after the session.
Mild redness, swelling, and tenderness in the treatment area, may occur after treatment. These effects are temporary and generally improve over time.
Ultherapy PRIME is suitable for adults with mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, under-chin area, jawline, or décolletage.
Suitability depends on your skin condition, facial anatomy, and treatment goals. Your doctor will assess these factors during consultation before recommending treatment.
Ultherapy PRIME can be used to treat the forehead, temples, under-eye area, cheeks, jawline, jowl area, under the chin, neck, and décolletage.
Your doctor will assess which areas are suitable based on your skin condition, degree of skin laxity, and treatment goals.
Patients may feel warmth, tingling sensation, or brief discomfort as the micro-focused ultrasound energy is delivered to the skin.
To improve comfort, a topical numbing cream is applied before treatment. Oral pain relief may also be provided prior to the session.
The cost of Ultherapy PRIME depends on the treatment area and treatment plan recommended.
For a more detailed breakdown, you may refer to Halley Medical Aesthetics’ Ultherapy PRIME price guide.
Ultherapy PRIME is commonly performed as a single session. We recommend that you repeat the treatment annually as our skin is constantly exposed to environmental stressors and to slow the signs of ageing.
Depending on your skin condition, treatment goals, and response, your doctor may recommend post-treatment maintenance treatments or complementary procedures as part of a longer-term treatment plan.
Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, tingling, or mild sensitivity may occur after treatment.
Some patients may also experience aching in the treated areas for several weeks. These effects are temporary and will go away with time, although individual recovery periods may vary.
Unlike light-based treatments that interact with skin pigmentation, Ultherapy PRIME uses ultrasound energy delivered below the skin surface, making it safe and effective across all skin types and tones.
Your doctor will assess your skin condition and advise how he may customise the treatment to target your concerns during consultation.
