Ulthera vs. Ulthera Prime: Which Skin Tightening Treatment Is Right for You?

By Ysabel Vitangcol on April 7, 2025

If you’ve been exploring non-invasive ways to lift and tighten your skin, you’ve likely heard of Ulthera—a gold-standard treatment that uses ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen. With Ulthera Prime in town, you might be wondering: What’s the difference, and which one should I choose? Let’s break it down.

What is Ulthera Prime?

Ulthera Prime is the latest innovation from Belo’s lineup of non-surgical skin tightening treatments. Like the original Ulthera, it uses focused ultrasound energy to jumpstart natural collagen production. But here’s what makes it different:

  • It’s gentler and more targeted
  • It’s ideal for early signs of aging
  • It offers a more comfortable experience
  • And best of all—it requires no downtime

Perfect for those looking to maintain firm, youthful skin or address mild skin laxity before it becomes more pronounced.

What is The Difference between Ulthera and Ulthera Prime?

Ulthera delivers energy deeper into the skin, making it a great option for those looking for more dramatic lifting and tightening.

Ulthera Prime, on the other hand, is more precise and less intense, making it perfect for maintenance or preventive anti-aging.

Which One Should I Choose?

The most accurate way to find out? Book a consultation with a Belo doctor!

It is strongly advisable to seek a consultation so they can properly evaluate the treatment that best suits your needs and goals. 

Generally, Ulthera suits best for a patient who needs visible lifting and firming for sagging skin. Ulthera Prime may be a better option if the patient desires a lighter, more comfortable treatment for mild skin laxity.

Both treatments are FDA-approved, non-invasive, and require no downtime—so you can tighten your skin naturally with long-lasting results.

Whether you’re seeking a dramatic lift or a subtle refresh, Ulthera and Ulthera Prime offer effective, non-surgical options to help you look naturally youthful and confident.
