Ultherapy PRIME® Treatments in Honolulu
Now, there is a better and more advanced way to lift and tighten the skin on your face and neck without surgery, thanks to Ultherapy PRIME®. Dr. Susan Tan at Hawaii Facial Plastic Surgery is the first in Honolulu and the state to offer patients this new treatment option, and the results are sensational.
The state-of-the-art PRIME® platform combines proven-effective ultrasound therapy with visualization to enhance its skin-tightening and lifting effects. It’s an ideal non-surgical option for patients who want to see significant improvement but aren’t ready for surgery.
Ultherapy PRIME® stimulates your body’s collagen-building process, resulting in visible results that occur over time and continue for a year or more. It is the only FDA-cleared non-surgical skin tightening and facelifting procedure and is top-rated among patients who have benefitted from its results.
How is PRIME® Better Than Original Ultherapy?
Ultrasound skin treatments with real-time visualization have always been highly effective, but this one goes deeper and does more. Ultherapy PRIME® allows Dr. Tan to stimulate natural collagen production more precisely in exactly the right spots to lift and tighten facial skin.
You enjoy all the original advantages of this FDA-cleared procedure with better results and a more comfortable experience. You also have the benefit and peace of mind of being treated by a double-board-certified plastic surgeon in Hawaii with exceptional aesthetic abilities and medical knowledge.
Another significant advantage of PRIME® is its natural-looking results. Family, friends, and colleagues will notice your improved and refreshed appearance without suspecting you’ve had work done. The procedure is always personalized to your face and its unique needs.
Better Design and Advanced Technology
As someone who wants to improve their appearance, it’s natural for you to focus on the facelifting benefits of Ultherapy PRIME®. But it’s also wise to learn how better design and advanced technology affect the treatment and its results.
While all Ultherapy treatments are well tolerated, Dr. Tan points out that PRIME® is faster and more comfortable thanks its advancements.
There is no better way to perform noninvasive skin lifting than with PRIME®. It will build on Ultherapy’s 95% patient satisfaction rate and continue as the strongest among noninvasive ultrasound devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. 1. What is Ultherapy Prime, and how does it work?
A. 1. Ultherapy Prime is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive skin lifting treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound energy with real-time visualization. It delivers precise energy deep into the foundational layers of the skin (including the SMAS layer, the same layer targeted in surgical facelifts) to stimulate collagen production and lift sagging tissue naturally.
Q. 2. What areas of the face and body can Ultherapy Prime treat?
A. 2. Ultherapy Prime is FDA-cleared to lift the brow, tighten the skin on the neck and under the chin, and improve lines and wrinkles on the décolleté. It can also be used to improve overall facial laxity and skin tone, making it one of the most versatile non-surgical tightening treatments available.
Q. 3. How is Ultherapy Prime different from other skin-tightening devices?
A. 3. Unlike radiofrequency (RF) devices or lasers, Ultherapy Prime uses ultrasound energy that penetrates deeper, targeting the SMAS layer of tissue that conventional surface treatments cannot reach. It is also the only non-invasive lifting device with real-time ultrasound imaging, allowing Dr. Tan to see exactly where the energy is being delivered for a truly personalized treatment.
Q. 4. How long does an Ultherapy Prime session take?
A. 4. A typical Ultherapy Prime session takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the area(s) being treated. There is minimal to no downtime, so most patients return to their regular activities immediately after treatment.
Q. 5. Is Ultherapy Prime painful?
A. 5. Most patients experience mild warmth or tingling during the procedure as the ultrasound energy is delivered to deep tissue layers. A topical numbing cream is available to maximize comfort. Sensitivity levels vary from person to person, and Dr. Tan’s team will ensure you are as comfortable as possible throughout the session.
Q. 6. When will I see results, and how long do they last?
A. 6. Because Ultherapy Prime works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production, results develop gradually over 2–3 months following treatment as new collagen forms. Results can last up to 1–2 years. Most patients need only one session, with maintenance treatments every 12–18 months recommended to sustain optimal collagen levels.
Q. 7. How many Ultherapy Prime treatments will I need?
A. 7. Most patients achieve meaningful improvement with a single treatment. However, patients with more advanced skin laxity may benefit from a second session. Dr. Tan will assess your skin during your consultation and recommend the ideal treatment protocol for your age and skin condition.
Q. 8. Is there any downtime after Ultherapy Prime?
A. 8. There is minimal downtime after Ultherapy Prime. Some patients experience slight redness or mild swelling in the treated area for a short time following the procedure, but these effects are temporary and typically resolve within hours. You can resume normal activities right away.
Q. 9. Can Ultherapy Prime be combined with other treatments?
A. 9. Yes, Ultherapy Prime pairs beautifully with other treatments. Many patients combine it with Botox®, dermal fillers, or RF microneedling for a more comprehensive rejuvenation approach. Dr. Tan can create a customized combination treatment plan for you based on your goals.
Q. 10. Is Ultherapy Prime a replacement for a surgical facelift?
A. 10. No, while Ultherapy Prime delivers impressive non-surgical lifting results, it is not a replacement for a surgical facelift. It is best suited for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who want to delay surgery or maintain results post-surgery. For patients with more significant sagging, Dr. Tan may recommend a surgical facelift for more dramatic and lasting correction.
