Ultherapy Prime is a FDA-approved, noninvasive treatment that uses ultrasound to lift and tighten skin on the face and neck. By targeting deeper layers without harming the surface, ultrasonic waves boost collagen and elastin production for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Tribeca Aesthetics is the first in New York City and one of the first practices in the world to offer Ultherapy Prime, elevating the treatment through superior targeting made possible by the latest technological advances. By combining industry-leading techniques with our decades of experience and fine-tuned precision, we provide personalized care for maximum satisfaction.
Non-surgical alternative to a facelift—no cutting!
No downtime and minimal risks
Lifts and tightens skin, especially around your neck, chin, and brow
Smooths lines and wrinkles
Results appear natural
Ultherapy Prime enhances precision while reducing procedure times
Results become more visible over 2-3 months as collagen production increases
For most patients, one session produces results that can last up to one year
Ideal candidates for Ultherapy have realistic expectations of the procedure and are in generally good physical health. Ultherapy works best for individuals with mild to moderate laxity (loss of firmness) in the face and neck.
Both men and women may consider Ultherapy treatment if they can relate to any of the following cosmetic concerns:
Individuals with personality disorders and clinical diagnoses of conditions such as depression and Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) are not candidates for any aesthetic treatment.
Most patients will experience minimal or no downtime.
Patients can expect to notice an improvement immediately following their Ultherapy treatment. Results continue to develop within two to three months after the procedure while the body produces new collagen and elastin, and they can last for up to one year. While most patients achieve the enhancement they desire after one treatment, some may require a subsequent session to correct significant skin laxity.
Complications associated with Ultherapy are uncommon, but no aesthetic procedure is entirely risk-free. The potential temporary side effects of the treatment may include the following:
Minimize potential side effects by having a well-trained and experienced physician perform the procedure; Dr. Sung has been providing Ultherapy treatments since 2009. What’s more, the enhanced visualization capabilities of Ultherapy Prime technology further reduce risks by providing practitioners with greatly improved imaging for exact administration.
Award-winning plastic surgeon Dr. Jimmy C. Sung has been a trusted Ultherapy expert since 2009. He combines a meticulous approach to beauty and patient safety with the latest technologies, driven by his commitment to exceptional results and customer satisfaction. This dedication led Dr. Sung to become the first licensed physician in the greater New York area to offer the enhanced precision and efficiency of Ultherapy Prime.
A single session of customized Ultherapy treatment by a licensed medical provider starts around $2000, though the exact price may vary based on your individual needs. Most patients achieve their desired results with just one session, with effects lasting up to a year.
Ultherapy Prime treatment can only be performed by a licensed physician with advanced ultrasound training and anatomical knowledge. Your physician's role is crucial in providing the best possible treatment and ensuring your well-being. Dr. Sung has been providing Ultherapy treatments since 2009 and has garnered hundreds of positive reviews from New Yorkers and patients from around the world like you.
We recommend one treatment per year.
Ultherapy Prime procedures effectively stimulate collagen and elastin production and tighten the skin. However, because of the non-surgical nature of this technology, outcomes won’t be as significant or permanent as facelift procedures.
You won't need to take any major steps before arriving at Tribeca Aesthetics, but makeup and skincare products will be removed before your procedure.
Ultherapy Prime is a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) device designed for non-invasive lifting of the face and neck. But what is HIFU, specifically?
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) face and neck lifting device, commonly known as a 'HI-FU Scalpel' in Asia, uses ultrasound waves to penetrate the skin's supporting structure, medically known as the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System). The SMAS is a fibrous layer that supports the skin and is the target for the HIFU energy. The device delivers high-intensity focal energy to this supporting structure, which is crucial in both surgical and non-surgical facial lifting, inducing a tightening and lifting effect.
Once the high-intensity ultrasound reaches the appropriate depth, it converges and delivers micro-focused acoustic energy to tighten the supporting structure. This energy also stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin. Collagen is a protein that provides structure to our skin, while elastin keeps our face shape and firm. Increasing these proteins is the main goal of non-invasive facial rejuvenation.
While both are ultrasound-based energy devices, each delivers ultrasound energy using unique technologies. Sofwave transmits ultrasound in synchronous parallel beams down to the mid-dermis, while Ultherapy Prime delivers ultrasound energy in a focal manner, targeting the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) supporting structure. Sofwave's advanced cooling technology, known as Sofcool, protects the outer layer of skin while allowing the ultrasound treatment to reach the precise depth in the dermis for optimal outcomes.
Ultherapy Prime's high-resolution ultrasound imaging technology enables physicians to identify the exact treatment target while avoiding injury to adjacent structures. In the hands of an experienced physician, Sofwave and Ultherapy Prime can synergistically treat each layer of the face and neck soft tissue precisely and safely, achieving remarkable results.
Thermage FLX is a radio-frequency-based device, while Ultherapy Prime is an Ultrasound-based device. The two devices differ in their energy source and the targeted layer of the face and neck structure. Thermage FLX uses monopolar radiofrequency (MRF) to deliver volumetric heating to the deep dermis, fat, and fibrous septae. At the same time, Ultherapy Prime conducts ultrasound energy through these layers of soft tissue and provides focal high-intensity ultrasound energy under direct visualization to the SMAS supporting structure. When combined, Thermage FLX and Ultherapy Prime allow the physician to significantly improve mild and moderate laxity of the face and neck in appropriate patients.
At Tribeca Aesthetics, we are dedicated to providing a premium-quality experience from every perspective, starting with our unwavering commitment to peak cleanliness. Our Manhattan facility is thoughtfully designed, with precise temperature and humidity controls to ensure optimal sterility. But we go beyond the technical details—our space is also warm and inviting, with abundant natural light and a spa-like atmosphere carefully cultivated to foster relaxation.
