Ultherapy PRIME vs Traditional Ultherapy: What’s the Difference?

Evolving Technology for Natural Lifting

Ultherapy has long been recognised as a gold-standard, non-invasive skin tightening treatment. But with the launch of Ultherapy PRIME, a newer generation has emerged—one that brings greater precision, comfort, and customisation to the treatment process.

At VIDASKIN Clinic, we are proud to be at the forefront of this evolution. Not only are we a recipient of the Gold Award for Ultherapy, we are also home to Dr. Vicki Leong, the official Ultherapy PRIME trainer in Singapore, who teaches fellow medical professionals both locally and internationally.

In this article, we’ll explore how Ultherapy PRIME differs from its predecessor, and help you decide which may be more suitable for your needs.

A Quick Recap: What Is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy Prime device

Ultherapy is a US FDA-cleared treatment that uses Microfocused Ultrasound with Visualisation (MFU-V) to stimulate collagen production deep beneath the skin. It targets the SMAS layer—the same layer lifted during a surgical facelift—without incisions or downtime.

Ultherapy is well-known for:

  • Lifting the jawline and lower face
  • Tightening sagging skin on the neck and brows
  • Improving skin texture on the décolletage

What’s New in Ultherapy PRIME?

Ultherapy PRIME is not a replacement—it is a refined, upgraded protocol developed to enhance the safety, comfort, and results of the original Ultherapy platform.

Why Was Ultherapy PRIME Developed?

As more patients seek subtle, natural-looking results, there was a need to create a version of Ultherapy that:

  • Allows finer customisation (especially for delicate areas like the under-chin, jawline, and neck)
  • Improves patient experience by reducing discomfort
  • Ensures greater treatment consistency with optimised transducers and protocols

Ultherapy PRIME was developed in collaboration with leading medical doctors worldwide—including trainers like Dr. Vicki Leong, who will also be launching Ultherapy PRIME in Korean language training by mid-2025.

Who Is Ultherapy PRIME Suitable For?

While both treatments work well for:

  • Mild to moderate skin laxity
  • Sagging around the jawline or neck
  • Lifting and tightening facial contours

Ultherapy PRIME may be better suited if you:

  • Prefer a more comfortable treatment experience
  • Want to target more refined areas like jawline definition or fine under-chin sagging
  • Have previously done Ultherapy and want a more precise follow-up session
