Harness the power of focused ultrasound to lift and tighten skin on the face and neck<\/a>, naturally stimulating your body\u2019s collagen production.<\/p>\n In this article, we\u2019ll explore how Ultherapy PRIME works, what makes it unique, and what you can expect from your treatment. We\u2019ll also answer some of the most frequently asked questions about this popular cosmetic procedure.<\/p>\n Ultherapy PRIME is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that lifts, tones, and tightens loose or sagging skin on the face and neck. Unlike lasers or surgery, it utilizes focused ultrasound to stimulate collagen deeper in the skin\u2019s foundational layers. The result is gradual, natural-looking lifting and tightening of the face, neck, and d\u00e9colletage.<\/p>\n The PRIME device is equipped with imaging technology, allowing practitioners to see exactly which tissue layers they\u2019re treating. This precision ensures results are both safe and effective, tailored to each patient\u2019s unique anatomy.<\/p>\n One of the most significant advantages of treatment is the PRIME device. It\u2019s designed to keep you more comfortable while it specifically targets the SMAS layer \u2013 and there\u2019s less discomfort compared to other skin-tightening technologies. When you come to Hawaii Facial Plastic Surgery<\/a>, we will work with you to determine the best approach for your needs, ensuring your session is as comfortable as possible.<\/p>\n Many people who want to look better also lead busy lives. If you\u2019re one of them, one of Ultherapy PRMIE\u2019s biggest advantages is its “lunchtime procedure” reputation. Treatments typically take between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the areas addressed. Ultherapy PRIME is best suited for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity\u2014those who notice their skin starting to feel or look less firm.<\/p>\n Common concerns include sagging under the chin, loose neck skin, and drooping eyebrows. While it is not a substitute for a surgical facelift, it\u2019s an excellent option for those not ready for facelift surgery or looking to prolong the effects of previous surgical procedures.<\/p>\n After a treatment session, many people notice an initial tightening effect, but the most significant transformation unfolds gradually, as new collagen develops.<\/p>\n Because Ultherapy PRIME stimulates your body to produce collagen, the results look completely natural. There\u2019s no risk of a too-tight appearance\u2014just a fresher, firmer, more youthful look.<\/p>\n The treatment is FDA-cleared for lifting the skin on the neck<\/a>, chin, and brow, as well as improving lines and wrinkles on the d\u00e9colletage.<\/p>\n Side effects are generally mild and temporary. You might experience slight redness, swelling, tingling, or tenderness after the procedure, but these symptoms usually resolve within hours or days.<\/p>\n At Hawaii Facial Plastic Surgery, Ultherapy treatments<\/a> may be performed by Dr. Tan or by her highly trained clinical team. Every provider is personally trained by Dr. Tan, understands facial anatomy and aesthetic balance, and follows Dr. Tan\u2019s customized treatment protocols.<\/p>\n Every provider working with Dr. Tan shares the same philosophy: natural results, safety, and individualized care.
