Ulthera Prime Explained: How It Stimulates Collagen for Lifted, Firmer Skin

Ulthera Prime, is the latest advancement in ultrasound-powered skin tightening, now available through select clinics in the Philippines.

Backed by doctors and powered by advanced imaging technology, this upgraded version of Ultherapy offers a smarter, more precise way to lift and firm the skin naturally by boosting collagen from within.

A Deeper Look: How Ulthera Prime Works

Ulthera Prime harnesses micro-focused ultrasound (MFU) energy to go beyond the surface. This non-invasive technology targets the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer which is an area typically reached only during surgical facelifts.

“One of the features of Ulthera Prime is to hit the SMAS layer,” says Dr. Rodnie Valerio, Associate Physician of Belo NEXA. “This is the layer where the ligaments are. This is where they pull it during a deep plane facelift, so this is considered a non-surgical facelift.”

By delivering ultrasound energy directly to this layer, Ulthera Prime kickstarts natural collagen production, firming and lifting the skin from within—without any incisions or recovery time.

Why Collagen Matters: The Foundation of Youthful Skin

Collagen is the key protein that keeps skin firm, elastic, and youthful. Unfortunately, collagen production slows as we age—leading to sagging skin, fine lines, and loss of firmness. If you’re wondering how to boost collagen naturally, Ulthera Prime provides a clinically proven solution.

“With Ulthera Prime, you get lesser downtime, you get lesser pain. There’s a mild discomfort, still. But with Ulthera Prime, it’s gonna be faster,” shares Dr. Valerio. “We can visualize where we are in delivering the micro-focused ultrasound, which is a trademark of Ulthera.”

This real-time visualization ensures that energy is delivered to the right depth, boosting your body’s natural collagen regeneration—exactly where it matters most.

Precision is Everything: Why Targetting Matters

Precision is what sets Ulthera Prime apart from earlier-generation treatments. Older devices, or incorrect application, can sometimes cause unwanted fat loss, especially in the mid-face area.

Ulthera Prime solves this with real-time imaging and Belo’s Signature Layered Lifting Technique, allowing your doctor to precisely target the right skin layers.

“It’s important that Ulthera Prime delivers energy at precise depths, rather than just the surface of the skin,” Dr. Valerio explains. “Sometimes people overdo it, or deliver the energy in the wrong layer so they burn fat. In turn, they look gaunt. But with Ulthera Prime, when we deliver the correct amount of energy at the correct layer, you see magnificent results—lifting and tightening of the skin.”

This level of control makes Ulthera Prime a safer and more effective option for long-term lifting, without compromising facial volume or natural contours.

Ulthera Prime is one of the most advanced non-invasive technologies available in Ulthera Philippines today. It combines real-time imaging, micro-focused ultrasound, and doctor precision to deliver visible, long-lasting results.Whether you’re concerned about sagging skin, loss of firmness, or fine lines, this treatment offers a sophisticated, science-backed solution with no surgery required.
