Is Ultherapy PRIME Safe? What Doctors Want You to Know

Is Ultherapy PRIME Safe?

If you’re considering Ultherapy PRIME, it’s only natural to ask: “Is it safe?”

The short answer: Yes—when performed correctly, by the right hands, using the right equipment.

Ultherapy PRIME in Singapore is one of the most rigorously studied and FDA-cleared non-invasive lifting treatments in the world. But like all energy-based procedures, it is technique-sensitive, meaning the skill of your provider and the authenticity of the device are key to ensuring both safety and effectiveness.

What Makes Ultherapy PRIME a Safe Choice?

1. ✅

   It’s FDA-Cleared and Clinically Proven

Ultherapy is:

• US FDA-cleared for lifting the brows, jawline, neck, and décolletage
• Backed by over 110 peer-reviewed clinical studies
• Used in over 2 million treatments worldwide

The latest Ultherapy PRIME upgrade builds upon this legacy with:

• Improved comfort
• Real-time imaging
• More precise energy delivery

2. 👩‍⚕️ It’s Performed by Doctors at VIDASKIN

At VIDASKIN, Ultherapy is:

• Conducted only by licensed doctors, not therapists or assistants
• Administered with full clinical knowledge of facial anatomy and energy-based medicine
• Supported by our role as an official Ultherapy training clinic in Singapore

This ensures your treatment is: ✔️ Medically guided
✔️ Individually tailored
✔️ Clinically monitored from start to finish

3. 🧠 It Uses Real-Time Imaging: See Plan Treat Protocol

One of the major risks in energy-based treatments is delivering energy to the wrong layer—or too close to sensitive structures.

With Ultherapy PRIME, we follow the See Plan Treat protocol, which allows us to:

• See under your skin in real-time using ultrasound
• Plan energy delivery based on your unique anatomy
• Treat only the collagen-rich layers (not nerves or bone)

This protocol dramatically increases safety and reduces the risk of discomfort or side effects.

4. 🩺 No Needles, No Incisions, No Downtime

Ultherapy is completely non-invasive, which makes it inherently safer than surgical options or injectable-based lifts.

What to expect:

• No broken skin or wounds
• No need for anaesthesia or sedation
• Minimal side effects (mild redness, tenderness that fades within hours to days)

Most patients return to work or daily activities immediately after their session.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Side effects from Ultherapy PRIME are typically:

• Mild and temporary
• Include redness, slight swelling, or tenderness in treated areas
• Rarely include bruising or numbness, especially when imaging is used properly

At VIDASKIN, these are further reduced by careful planning, individualised energy mapping, and post-treatment care instructions.

Who Should Not Do Ultherapy?

While safe for most healthy adults, Ultherapy may not be suitable if you:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have open wounds or skin infections in treatment areas
• Have severe sagging or very thin skin (doctor will assess)
• Have metal implants or pacemakers in the treatment zone

A detailed doctor consultation at VIDASKIN ensures that you’re a safe and appropriate candidate before any treatment begins.

Why Experience Matters in Ultherapy Safety

Ultherapy treatment may be safe as a technology—but it’s not foolproof. The safety and outcome depend on:

• The authenticity of the device
• The experience of the doctor
• Use of proper visualisation and protocols

At VIDASKIN, we take pride in:

• Being one of the most experienced Ultherapy clinics globally
• Serving as an Ultherapy Gold Award winner
• Training other doctors in safe and effective treatment delivery

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can Ultherapy burn the skin or cause damage?
A: When performed correctly using the See Plan Treat protocol, Ultherapy does not harm the skin surface. Energy is focused below the skin, and safety features are in place.

Q: Does Ultherapy cause facial fat loss?
A: In qualified hands, Ultherapy is targeted to collagen-rich areas—not fat compartments. Fat loss is a rare complication when incorrect depths or techniques are used.

Q: What’s the risk compared to fillers or surgery?
A: Ultherapy is non-invasive and does not involve injections, making it far safer for those seeking natural lifting without downtime or surgical risk.
