Introduction to Ultherapy Prime®
Ultherapy is a groundbreaking non-invasive treatment designed to lift and tighten skin using advanced ultrasound technology. By reaching deep into the foundational layers without any incisions or disruption to the skin’s surface, Ultherapy activates your body’s natural regenerative process by directing heat into the treatment area, halting the aging process and resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Unlike traditional surgical facelifts, Ultherapy offers a safe and effective alternative for those seeking to tighten the skin on the face, neck, and décolletage. The treatment harnesses the power of ultrasound to precisely target and lift sagging areas, helping to restore a youthful appearance. By stimulating production of new collagen growth, Ultherapy not only lifts and tightens but also improves the overall texture and resilience of your skin. This non invasive procedure is ideal for anyone looking to achieve noticeable results without surgery, downtime, or scarring.
Areas of Concern
At Key Laser Institute, we offer Ultherapy Prime®, the newest “gold standard” for ultrasound treatments. Ultherapy Prime offers a faster platform and more efficient processing with real time imaging.
This ultrasound technology targets the right skin layers without disrupting the surface, providing gradual yet noticeable rejuvenation to various areas, such as:
- Face
- Neck
- Brow
- Lower face (including under the chin)
- Abdomen
- Arms
Benefits of Non Surgical Ultherapy
Ultherapy Prime offers a host of benefits for patients seeking a non surgical solution to skin laxity and body contouring. One of the most significant advantages is that it is a non invasive treatment, allowing most patients to return to their daily routines immediately—there’s zero downtime required. The procedure uses micro focused ultrasound energy to deliver targeted treatment, which can be customized to your unique skin goals, ensuring optimal results for every individual.
In addition to tightening the skin, Ultherapy can help reduce fat in targeted areas, leading to a more contoured and defined shape. Stimulating collagen production deep within the skin not only lifts and tightens but also enhances skin texture and firmness over time. Clinical evidence supports Ultherapy’s effectiveness, making it a trusted choice for those who want to improve their appearance without surgery.
Hear What Our Patients Have to Say About Our Ultherapy Treatments
Ultherapy Skin Tightening
Ultherapy tightening is a powerful solution for those struggling with excess fat and laxity on the face, neck, and body. Made to target the deepest layers of tissue, this treatment can destroy fat cells and stimulate the production of new collagen. This dual action not only tightens and lifts the skin but also helps contour the body by reducing stubborn fat in areas like the belly and love handles.
The treatment’s ability to deliver ultrasound energy precisely to the right skin layers means that Ultherapy Prime can effectively address both skin tightening and body contouring needs. Patients experience a noticeable improvement in firmness and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, all without the need for surgery or downtime. Ultherapy skin tightening is an ideal choice for those seeking a non invasive way to achieve a more toned, youthful appearance, with results that continue to improve as new collagen forms in the weeks following your appointment. Whether you’re looking to lift the neck, contour the body, or simply refresh your look, Ultherapy offers a safe and effective path to your desired results.
Excess Fat and Body Contouring with Ultherapy Prime®
New and improved, Ultherapy Prime offers a smoother operational experience and more efficient platform. It is the only FDA-cleared technology that uses ultrasound energy and real-time imaging to target tissues beneath the skin, including fat cells and connective tissues, for effective body contouring. While exercise and diet are often used to address excess fat, Ultherapy can help rid the body of stubborn fat that does not respond to these methods, making it an effective option when traditional approaches are not enough. Many patients seek Ultherapy for its effectiveness and convenience. Unlike liposuction, this treatment can reduce and expel fat without the need for incisions, even minimally.
Results last 6 months or more, and most people experience noticeable results after just a few sessions. While liposuction is a common surgical method for fat removal, Ultherapy offers a non-surgical alternative, providing healthier skin and body contouring without the need for surgery or downtime. Patients can see results similar to surgical options with this innovative machine. To learn more about if this is the right option for you to see your ideal shape, a medical consultation is required.

Before Your Non Invasive Laser Treatment
Before your appointment, you will have a consultation in our office with Dr. Key to discuss your goals and any concerns you may have. During the conversation, we will ensure that Ultherapy is the right option for you and allows us to customize the procedure to address your specific needs. As a noninvasive skin tightening procedure, you should avoid exposure to direct sunlight, stay hydrated, and avoid skincare products that accelerate cell turnover, such as retinol, to receive the best results.
During Your Prime Treatment
Before starting your treatment, we will wash the area with a gentle cleanser and apply ultrasound gel. During your treatment, your physician will use the ultherapy device, which features vivid real time imaging displayed on a screen. This ultrasound image ensures visualization of the layers of tissue beneath your skin and focus on specific target areas, such as the SMAS layer, for precise tightening and non invasive lifting.
The ultherapy device delivers micro focused ultrasound energy below the skin, stimulating the production of new collagen over time. The procedure typically lasts between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the areas being treated.
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during treatment, some patients do report feelings of discomfort. During the consultation, we will discuss pain management to make the treatment more comfortable.
If you are using pain medication, you will need to make arrangements for a driver to take you home.
After Your Ultherapy Treatment
After your treatment, common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, tingling, minor bruising, or tenderness in the treated areas. However, these side effects are usually temporary and should subside within a few hours to a few days.
Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure, as there is no downtime associated with Ultherapy. This means you benefit from zero downtime compared to other procedures, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. Commonly, patients can see results after only one session, whereas other machines may need 3 or more.
While some improvements may be noticed immediately, the most significant changes typically become visible after a few weeks. Over the following weeks and months, you’ll gradually notice improvements in the firmness and tightness of your skin as new collagen continues to develop through the natural collagen building process. Ultherapy is most effective for those with mild to moderate skin laxity, and results may vary depending on individual factors such as age and skin condition. Ultherapy is a clinical evidence backed treatment, ensuring both safety and proven results.
Why Choose Ultherapy Over Surgical Options?
Using ultrasound, Ultherapy procedures can be a better choice for many who are looking to tighten lax skin on their face, body, or neck. More invasive procedures, like the surgical facelift or body contouring options, can result in longer downtime and more involved prep and recovery. Because ultrasound techniques work under the skin as well, they can be used to stimulate collagen production, thus ensuring longer lasting results. For those who are looking for non invasive lifting or tightening, non surgical alternatives like Ultherapy can be the ideal choice.
