At Hayes Valley Medical Esthetics, we understand that the desire to maintain a youthful appearance goes beyond vanity — it’s about feeling confident in your skin, no matter your age. That’s why we are excited to offer Ulthera Prime, the next evolution of the beloved Ultherapy platform. As one of the leading providers of cutting-edge aesthetic treatments in the Bay Area, Hayes Valley is committed to bringing you the most advanced, safe, and effective solutions to address your skin concerns.
What Is Ulthera Prime?
A true evolution of the legacy Ultherapy platform, Ultherapy Prime has already seen more than 3.5 million treatments performed worldwide and boasts a 95 percent satisfaction rate. As the skin-lifting market continues to surge (projected to grow approximately 9 percent by 2030, according to Merz Custom Market Forecasting 2025), new demand is being fueled by postpartum and post-menopausal skin changes, post–weight-loss concerns and a rising male patient base.
Ulthera Prime works by stimulating the body’s own collagen and elastin production, lifting the brows, tightening the skin under the chin and on the neck, and smoothing lines and wrinkles on the décolleté. Now, with its latest clearance, Ultherapy PRIME can also firm and tone the skin on the arms and abdomen—all in a single session, with zero downtime and proven safety across all skin types. Results appear natural, with visibly lifted, younger-looking skin that can last up to a year on the face and 6 months on the body.
The Benefits of Ulthera Prime
Ulthera Prime is truly a breakthrough in aesthetic treatments, offering multiple advantages over traditional skin-lifting methods. Here are just a few of the benefits:
- Non-Surgical Lifting: No need for invasive procedures. Ulthera Prime uses ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production and lift sagging skin naturally.
- Zero Downtime: Get back to your regular activities immediately after your treatment — no recovery time needed.
- Natural-Looking Results: The results from Ulthera Prime are gradual, ensuring that you look refreshed and youthful without a “done” appearance.
- Targets Multiple Areas: While Ulthera Prime can lift the face and neck, it is now also FDA-approved to firm and tone the skin on the arms and abdomen.
- Long-Lasting Effects: Results can last up to one year on the face and up to six months on the body, with noticeable improvements in skin texture and tightness.
What to Expect: The Ulthera Prime Process
Ulthera Prime is a quick, comfortable procedure that typically takes 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. During your treatment, our expert providers will apply a cooling gel to your skin and use the Ulthera Prime device to deliver focused ultrasound energy to the deeper layers of your skin.
You may feel a gentle warming sensation, but discomfort is minimal and tolerable. There’s no need for anesthesia or downtime, making it an ideal option for busy individuals. The results begin to take shape gradually as your body’s collagen production is stimulated. While you may notice immediate lifting in some areas, the full effects will continue to improve over the next few months.
Recovery & Results
One of the greatest benefits of Ulthera Prime is that there’s no recovery time. After your treatment, you can return to your regular activities immediately, without the need for any downtime.
Results typically appear gradually, with some patients noticing lifting effects within a few days, and continued improvements over the following 2 to 3 months as collagen production increases. On the face, results can last up to a year, while effects on the body can last up to six months. Touch-up treatments can help maintain your results.
