Ultherapy and Ultherapy Prime are advanced non-surgical treatments designed to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin by stimulating natural collagen production. These treatments use ultrasound technology to target deeper layers of the skin, helping to improve firmness, reduce sagging, and restore a youthful appearance without the need for surgery or downtime.
Ultherapy is a well-established treatment known for delivering gradual, natural-looking results, while Ultherapy Prime represents the next generation of this technology, offering enhanced precision, improved comfort, and faster treatment times.
At Hortman Clinics, we use both Ultherapy and the latest Ultherapy Prime technology to provide customised, results-driven skin tightening treatments tailored to each patient’s needs.
What is Ultherapy ?
Ultherapy is a non-surgical treatment that is recommended to lift and tone the neck, chin, and brow areas while addressing lines and wrinkles.
Utilising ultrasound imaging, Ultherapy directs energy precisely where it will be most effective, delivering gradual, natural-looking results that enhance over time.
Ultherapy boosts natural collagen production, counteracting the effects of aging. Since this treatment is non-invasive, you can quickly step into our clinic during lunchtime and return to work with glowing, evidently radiant skin.
What is Ultherapy Prime?
UItherapy Prime– the next-gen non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment.
The Ultherapy Prime uses advanced ultrasound technology and real-time imaging to deliver you a faster, more comfortable, and more precise skin-lifting treatment. Due to its innovative design, Ultherapy Prime shortens treatment time and maximises the results. So if you are looking for maximum skin rejuvenation with maximum comfort, Ultherapy Prime may be the right solution for you.
Who is a good candidate for Ultherapy?
This skin treatment is suitable and safe for all skin types and tones. The best candidates for Ultherapy are those in their 30s or 40s. Ultherapy is recommended for:
- Individuals with sagging or loose skin at the jawline, neck or brow
- Individuals who are beginning to show early signs of aging
- Those in good health
This skin treatment is not recommended for people with:
- Scarring disorders
- Cystic acne

How does Ultherapy Prime work?
Ultherapy Prime uses the same basic foundation as traditional Ultherapy, which uses ultrasound to stimulate collagen and lift your skin gradually. Ultherapy Prime uses advanced micro-focused ultrasound energy that targets the fibroblasts located in the deeper skin layers and stimulates collagen regeneration, tightening and lifting the skin naturally from within.
In addition, the Ultherapy Prime features the advanced DeepSEE visualisation system, which allows our expert practitioners at Hortman Clinics to accurately view your skin layers during treatment, ensuring precise energy is delivered at optimal depth. This visualisation feature enhances safety and maximises treatment effectiveness, making each session tailored to your individual skin needs.
How does Ultherapy work?
Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to naturally lift and tighten the skin—without surgery or downtime.
- While the ultrasonic energy reaches the same dermal layers (dermis and hypodermis), it generates heat and friction, forming depths of coagulation and helping produce collagen and tissue repair. The growth of collagen helps tighten skin.
- Ultherapy relies on ultrasound therapy to stimulate collagen deeper than other noninvasive treatments. Stimulating elastic tissue and collagen can help produce less sagging and firmer skin.
Depending on the size of the treatment area, an Ultherapy session can last between 30 and 90 minutes.

What to expect during Ultherapy Treatment?
Before the treatment begins, you will have a detailed consultation to discuss your goals and treatment plan.
During Ultherapy procedure:
- The dermatologist will clean the target area to remove dirt or oil.
- A topical anaesthetic is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.
- The dermatologist uses an ultrasound device to visualise the layers of your skin and target the precise depths for treatment.
- The Ultherapy device is guided over the target skin area, where it delivers focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production, which may feel like a slight tingling or warmth.
- The duration of the sessions depends upon the size of the target area and the condition being treated.
After the session, you may experience mild redness or swelling, but you can resume your daily activities with minimal downtime.
What are the benefits of Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a dermatologist’s choice for anti-ageing effects due to a host of benefits that it offers:
- Non-invasive and non-surgical
- No Downtime or Recovery Time
- Personalised to cater to your needs
- Safe with minimal risk of side effects
- Looks natural
How long is the Ultherapy treatment session?
The duration of the Ultherapy session varies for every individual. Typically, each session takes 30 to 60 minutes.
What results can I expect after an Ultherapy Prime session?
Results of Ultherapy Prime become evident gradually as collagen regeneration occurs. You will begin to notice skin lifting and tightening occur progressively over 2 to 3 months after the procedure. You will require periodic annual maintenance treatments to sustain your youthful, rejuvenated appearance.
Who is the right candidate for Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is suitable for all skin colours, types, and conditions.
- It is perfect for individuals with loose skin under the neck and chin or sagging and wrinkles on the face and chest.
- It is recommended for individuals in their 30s or older with mild to moderate skin imperfections, but it can also benefit those in their 20s.
How many times can I go for treatment?
Most people require just one session of Ultherapy treatment. Since this treatment addresses ageing signs, you may need to undergo repeated sessions as time goes by. While some people may see their results last as long as five years, others may observe their skin concerns reappear after just a year. Our dermatologists at Hortman Clinics recommend follow-up sessions 1-2 times a year to maintain the effects of Ultherapy treatment.
When do I start seeing the results?
The results of your Ultherapy treatment begin to appear shortly after the procedure’s first session. Since collagen formation continues with time, you will notice improvement in results in the weeks and months after the session. A noticeable improvement is seen around three months after the treatment.
What should l expect before treatment?
There are no preparatory steps before an Ultherapy session. However, to ensure maximum treatment effectiveness, remove makeup and any skincare products from the target area.
How long does it take to recover after Ultherapy?
There is no recovery or downtime after Ultherapy. You can undergo the treatment during your lunch break and return to work immediately afterwards.
