THE TREATMENT
What is Ultherapy Prime?
Ultherapy Prime is a non-invasive, non-surgical skin treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to support skin lifting and tightening. It works by directing focused ultrasound energy to precise depths beneath the skin's surface, where it stimulates the body's natural collagen-building response.
Ultherapy Prime treatment is known for its ability to reach the SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) layer, a deep structural layer of skin that is typically only addressed in surgical procedures. By targeting multiple tissue depths within a single session, the treatment works from within to support gradual improvement in skin firmness and texture.
Some of the benefits of Ultherapy Prime include:
✓
Non-Invasive Skin Lifting Support
Ultherapy Prime uses focused ultrasound energy to help address skin laxity in areas such as the brow, jawline, neck, and décolletage with little to no downtime.
✓
Collagen Stimulation
By delivering controlled heat energy to targeted tissue layers, the treatment encourages the body's natural collagen production and remodelling processes, supporting gradual improvement in skin firmness.
✓
Targeted Deep Tissue Treatment
Ultherapy Prime is able to reach specific tissue depths within a single session, allowing treatment to be directed at the layers that contribute most to skin laxity.
✓
Gradual, Natural-Looking Improvement
Results develop progressively as collagen remodelling unfolds in the weeks and months following treatment, supporting improvement that looks natural and aligned with the face's own structure.
A COMPARISON
Ultherapy Prime vs Traditional Ultherapy.
Unlike traditional Ultherapy, Ultherapy Prime is only available at certified clinics in Singapore and is performed by licensed medical doctors who are specifically trained in the procedure.
01
Real-Time Imaging
Ultherapy Prime incorporates real-time ultrasound visualisation (MFU-V), allowing the treating doctor to see exactly where energy is being directed throughout the session. This supports more accurate targeting of specific skin layers and allows for informed adjustments during treatment.
02
Shorter Treatment Time
With its updated delivery system, Ultherapy treatment in Singapore using the Prime platform is designed for greater efficiency. Typical sessions take approximately 45 to 60 minutes compared to 90 to 120 minutes for traditional Ultherapy.
03
Better Comfort Level
Refined energy modulation and updated handpiece technology in Ultherapy Prime are designed to support a more comfortable treatment experience compared to older Ultherapy systems. While some warmth or mild discomfort during the session is normal, it is generally well-tolerated.
04
Enhanced Precision
Because each session uses live imaging to guide energy delivery, treatment depth and placement can be adjusted in real time based on individual facial anatomy, skin thickness, and ageing patterns, supporting a more targeted and personalised approach.
Treatment Areas

Considerations
Who is Ultherapy Prime for?
Ultherapy Prime treatment is generally considered for individuals in Singapore who are beginning to notice changes in skin firmness and facial contour, and who prefer a non-invasive approach to addressing them. It may be suitable for those who:
-
✓
Have mild to moderate skin laxity in the face, neck or brow area.
-
✓
Are not currently considering surgical procedures and prefer a non-invasive option.
How does Ultherapy Prime work?
Real-Time
Targeted
Energy Delivery
Micro-focused ultrasound energy is then delivered at specific, predetermined depths beneath the skin, allowing different tissue layers to be addressed within the same session.
Thermal
Coagulation
At each targeted depth, the ultrasound energy creates small, controlled thermal coagulation points within the tissue, without affecting the surface of the skin.
Collagen
Remodelling
These thermal points initiate the body's natural wound-healing response, supporting the production of new collagen and the remodelling of existing collagen fibres over time.
Gradual Development
of Results
As collagen remodelling progresses, changes in skin firmness and tone develop gradually, with visible improvement becoming more apparent over two to three months following treatment.

Things patients often wonder.
What is Ultherapy Prime and how is it different from standard Ultherapy?
Ultherapy Prime is the updated version of the original Ultherapy system, with real-time ultrasound visualisation that allows the treating doctor to see beneath the skin during the session. This supports more precise energy delivery, shorter treatment times, and a more personalised approach compared to standard Ultherapy.
How does Ultherapy Prime stimulate collagen without surgery?
The Ultherapy Prime treatment delivers micro-focused ultrasound energy to specific depths beneath the skin's surface, creating small, controlled thermal points within the tissue. This initiates the body's natural healing response, which in turn supports the production of new collagen, all without incisions or surface disruption.
Is there any downtime after an Ultherapy Prime treatment?
Ultherapy Prime generally involves no significant downtime, and most patients return to their usual activities shortly after the session. Some warmth, mild redness, or tenderness in the treated areas may occur and tends to settle within hours to a few days following treatment.
How many Ultherapy Prime sessions do I need to see results?
The number of sessions depends on your skin condition, facial structure, and treatment goals. Dr. Chia will discuss what suits your skin during your consultation.
When will I start to see results after Ultherapy Prime?
Because Ultherapy Prime skin treatment works by stimulating natural collagen remodelling, changes tend to develop gradually rather than immediately. Visible improvement typically becomes more apparent over a period of two to three months as collagen production progresses beneath the skin.
Is Ultherapy Prime performed by the doctor at Journey Aesthetics?
Yes. Ultherapy Prime at Journey Aesthetics is a doctor-only treatment, planned and performed personally by Dr. Chia from consultation through to the treatment session itself, ensuring continuity of care and a consistent clinical eye across every step of your treatment.
Who is suitable for Ultherapy Prime treatment?
Ultherapy Prime treatment is often considered by individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who prefer a non-invasive option and natural-looking, gradual improvement. Suitability depends on your facial structure, skin condition, and medical history, which Dr. Chia will assess during consultation.
How is Ultherapy Prime at Journey Aesthetics personalised to my skin?
As a personalised aesthetic clinic in Singapore, Ultherapy Prime at Journey Aesthetics is conducted by Dr Chia at every step of the way.
Ultherapy Prime treatment starts with a consultation to assess your skin condition and target areas, after which Dr Chia will recommend the ideal number of sessions. During the treatment, Dr. Chia uses real-time imaging to guide each session, and tailors treatment depths and areas based on your facial structure, skin thickness, and concern.
