Ultherapy PRIME Real-Time Ultrasound SMAS Lifting

Clinical Overview

Ultherapy PRIME Real-Time Ultrasound SMAS Lifting at VenCell Clinic represents the latest evolution in micro-focused ultrasound with visualisation (MFU-V). Featuring a faster processing architecture and a larger, higher-resolution DeepSEE real-time ultrasound imaging screen, Ultherapy PRIME allows our physicians to visualise the patient's exact dermal, fat, and SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) fascia depth before delivering each line of focused ultrasound energy.

Core Technology & Multi-Depth Precision

• Upgraded Real-Time DeepSEE Visualisation: Clearer ultrasonic imaging up to 8mm depth ensures energy is deposited strictly into target collagen-rich structures whilst avoiding bone and major vessels.
• Three-Layer Depth Customisation (1.5mm / 3.0mm / 4.5mm):
  • 4.5mm Transducer: Targets the foundational SMAS fibromuscular layer for structural lifting of sagging cheeks and jowls.
  • 3.0mm Transducer: Tightens the deep dermis and fibrous septae along the mid-face and submental contour.
  • 1.5mm Transducer: Refines superficial dermal laxity, brow elevation, and periorbital fine lines.
• Thermal Coagulation Points (60–70°C): Generates precise micro-thermal zones that trigger immediate tissue contraction followed by progressive neocollagenesis over 2 to 3 months.

Treatment Workflow

1. Ultrasound Anatomical Mapping: Real-time scanning of facial tissue thickness and asymmetry across the forehead, cheeks, jawline, and neck.
2. Personalised Shot & Vector Design: Customised allocation of shot counts and lifting vectors tailored to individual facial bone structure and fat distribution.
3. Comfort Management & Precision Delivery: Performed with topical or monitored comfort options using authentic transducers.
4. Immediate Return to Daily Life: Non-invasive energy delivery leaves the epidermal surface intact, allowing immediate resumption of normal schedules.

Ideal Candidates & Post-Treatment Guidance

Recommended For

• Individuals noticing blunted jawline definition, sagging jowls, or double-chin laxity
• Patients with drooping eyebrows, heavy upper eyelids, or deepening nasolabial folds
• Those seeking non-surgical SMAS-level lifting verified by real-time ultrasound imaging

Post-Treatment Care

• Mild deep tenderness along the jawline or slight swelling may last for a few days to 2 weeks and is a normal sign of collagen remodelling.
• Avoid icing the treated area immediately after treatment so as not to counteract thermal collagen stimulation.
• Apply daily moisturiser and sunscreen, and avoid high-heat saunas for 3 to 5 days.
