The Next Generation of Non-Surgical Skin Lifting Is Here
First came surgery. Then lasers. Then BOTOX® Cosmetic changed the game again. Now there is Ultherapy PRIME®, the next step in a whole new kind of skin care: lifting skin without surgery. Ultherapy PRIME® sends ultrasound waves deep under your skin, to the same layer a surgeon lifts during a facelift, without a single cut, providing a 24-30% structural lift in the skin, in just a single session, with results lasting a year. And now with Ultherapy PRIME®, sessions have 50% less discomfort, and are 20% faster, than the original Ultherapy®. FACE Medspa is the only place around to carry all top 3 tightening and lifting technologies in the world, and our Skin Management Experts™ use this advanced tool with Ultherapy PRIME® to lift your brow, tighten your neck, and help your own skin rebuild the collagen that keeps it looking young.
“For years, patients would ask me the same question: is there anything that acts similar as a facelift that does not need surgery? For a long time, the honest answer was no. Then came Ultherapy, and now Ultherapy PRIME®, built to work on the same SMAS (support) layer a surgeon lifts by hand, using nothing but ultrasound waves, and now being 20% faster, and 50% more comfortable than the original Ultherapy®. Now patient’s can get a 24%-30% lift in just one treatment, without surgery or downtime, and the results last a year. This is why Ultherapy PRIME® has become one of our most requested treatments at FACE because it delivers the proven deep lifting and collagen stimulation we trust, and is why we are one of the top providers in the nation. It fits perfectly in our lineup alongside Emface® for muscle toning and XERF® for multi-wave RF tightening to bulk heat the tissues — making us the only Medspa in the area to offer all three top lifting and tightening technologies from around the world. For patients wanting natural, gradual results without surgery or downtime, this combination gives us unmatched versatility and superior outcomes.”
– FACE Medspa Leadership Team
Ultherapy PRIME® is the latest advancement in non-invasive ultrasound lifting. It uses precise micro-focused ultrasound energy to safely heat targeted layers beneath the skin including the deep foundational SMAS layer that surgeons address in a facelift without damaging the surface. This stimulates your body’s natural collagen production for gradual lifting, toning, and firming.
Common signs of aging include dropping brows, sagging jowls, lax skin along the jawline, and loosening in the neck. Ultherapy PRIME® effectively lifts and tightens these areas, restoring a more defined jawline and youthful neck contour while giving the entire face a refreshed, more lifted appearance.
Treatments typically take 30 to 90 minutes depending on the areas treated. Many patients notice an initial subtle improvement right away from the SMAS (connective tissue or fascia that connects and envelops the facial muscles to the skin), with optimal results developing over the next 3 months as new collagen forms, resulting in a lift that lasts a year. Most people see excellent results from just one session.
Nothing replaces the dramatic effect of surgery, but Ultherapy PRIME® offers a natural, non-surgical solution for visibly lifting and firming loose or sagging skin with zero downtime and enhanced comfort.
Collagen is a natural protein that gives skin its firm, toned look. As you age, your collagen weakens, and skin starts to sag. Ultherapy PRIME® acts as a trigger. It strengthens the collagen you have and prompts your body to build new collagen, helping restore your skin’s youthful structure.
01
After 20, your body makes about 1% less collagen each year. Ultherapy PRIME® is one of the few treatments that goes beneath the surface to restart collagen growth at its source.
02
Many treatments only work on the top layers of skin. Ultherapy PRIME® is different. It reaches the same deep layer, called the SMAS, that a surgeon lifts by hand during a facelift, and lifts and firms it with no cutting.
03
As you age, facial muscles loosen and fat pads shift and thin. Ultherapy PRIME® does not just lift skin. It lifts the muscle-supporting SMAS beneath it, and helps shape the positioning of tissue in your face, closer to what a surgeon does by hand.
04
Estrogen helps your skin build collagen. When estrogen drops, most of all in perimenopause and menopause, collagen loss speeds up fast. Through our partner Dr. Doug Cutler, ND of Cutler Integrative Medicine, we can test hormones, longevity markers, nutrients, and inflammation, and toxic burden which when present or imbalanced can become internal drivers of aging. That gives your results staying power.
Are You Experiencing:
If several of these sound like you, Ultherapy PRIME® may be just the treatment your skin needs. A free consultation will confirm it.
Low-level heat, sent as focused ultrasound, is aimed deep under your skin, to the same layer a surgeon works on during a facelift.
The ultrasound energy is focused enough to shape the deep collagen layer of your face at the same time it lifts the muscle-supporting SMAS underneath.
Ultherapy PRIME® was redesigned around comfort, building on the original Ultherapy® platform.
The Result? The gentle heat triggers your body’s own healing response, boosting collagen over the following months. As fresh deep SMAS layer collagen builds, your skin gets firmer, and your whole face takes on a lifted, more rested look. It happens slowly and looks natural, so friends and family notice you look great without knowing why.
Consultation & Facial Analysis
Your Skin Management Expert™ studies your face, talks through your goals, and builds a plan just for you, including whether hormone-related collagen loss should be treated too.
Your Treatment Session
Plan to spend a few hours with us on treatment day. Upper face treatment usually takes about 30 minutes, lower face about 60 minutes, and a full face and neck treatment can take up to two hours. We take extra time before and after to make sure you are fully comfortable.
Collagen Rebuilding
You may notice a small lift right away from the muscle-supporting SMAS, but the real work happens over the weeks that follow, as your body builds new collagen. Your skin keeps making fresh collagen for up to a full year after treatment.
Results & Maintenance
Results usually peak around six months, with small gains continuing up to a full year. After that, collagen growth levels off. Your Skin Management Expert™ will help you plan ongoing care to keep your results going strong.
Your Skin Management Expert™ uses an advanced numbing approach built for comfort, well beyond older topical or narcotic options, so you can relax through your session. You feel warmth as the ultrasound energy is delivered, with more sensation over bony areas where there is less fat to cushion it. Most patients leave feeling comfortable, and are able to go about their daily routine.
Some patients notice mild redness for up to an hour, plus occasional tingling, or tenderness that can last a few weeks. A small number of patients notice some tiny, heat-related bumps that look like small blemishes; these usually fade within a few days if they happen at all. There are no activity limits, so you can go straight back to your day.
The First Few Days :
You may notice a subtle, early lift right after treatment, but this is just the beginning and is primarily from the contraction /denaturation of the collagen fibers and muscle-supporting SMAS. The real transformation is still ahead.
Months 2–3: The Turning Point :
This is when most patients start to see real change: a lifted brow, firmer jawline, and smoother skin along the neck.
Months 3–6: Peak Results :
Collagen production continues, and most patients reach their peak result around the six-month mark, with a naturally lifted, more rested appearance.
Up to a Full Year :
Your skin keeps producing fresh collagen for up to twelve months after treatment, with minor improvements continuing to appear. After that, collagen production levels off, and your Skin Management Expert™ can help you plan ongoing care, whether additional treatments like XERF (bulk heating) or Emface (muscle contraction, and tone / density) may compliment your Ultherapy PRIME®, how to maintain your results from your single Ultherapy PRIME® session.
How does Ultherapy PRIME® compare to a traditional facelift, and other non-invasive tightening and lifting technologies
Key Differentiators
Ultherapy PRIME® is a true “2-in-1” treatment: it lifts the skin, and supports the muscles, all in a single session, which makes it one of the most effective non-surgical options on the market. It is the only non-surgical treatment that specifically targets and lifts with micro-precision the deep fibro-muscular layer surgeons address, guided by live imaging so energy lands exactly where it should. Compared to a traditional facelift, Ultherapy PRIME® skips the pain, the risk, and the downtime, and offers a gradual, natural-looking result rather than a sudden change to your features.
Owning the device is not the same as mastering it. Here is what makes Ultherapy PRIME® at FACE different from getting the same treatment elsewhere.
01
Ultherapy PRIME® results depend heavily on the skill of the person guiding it. FACE is a top provider in the country, year after year, and has mastered Ultrasound technology for over a decade, which has helped build FACE’s reputation as one of the state’s leading Ultherapy providers.
02
FACE Medspa is the only place around to carry all top 3 tightening and lifting technologies in the world. We don’t age one dimensionally, nor can one technology fix every problem. That is why FACE may pair your Ultherapy PRIME® session, with XERF® for bulk heating, and Emface® for dramatic muscle lifting (75K contractions in one session).
03
Where many facilities rely on narcotic painkillers or topical ointments that fall short, FACE has engineered a numbing process that approaches the comfort of local anesthesia, without the side effects that come with stronger medication.
04
Our sessions tend to run longer as we put more energy in than other facilities. We take the extra time before and after treatment to make sure you are fully comfortable, and we deliver more pulses per session on average than many other providers, for a more thorough result.
05
FACE offers more than 50 advanced technologies, we are never limited to one approach. If Ultherapy PRIME® works best paired with a resurfacing laser, or volumizing treatment for your goals, we will build that plan together.
06
When root cause factors, or hormonal changes are accelerating your collagen loss, our partnership with Dr. Doug Cutler, ND of Cutler Integrative Medicine means we can address that alongside your Ultherapy PRIME® plan.
Anyone Noticing Early Signs of a Dropping Brow or Loose Neck
You are seeing the first signs of gravity’s effects and want to address them before they progress, without jumping straight to surgery.
Adults Over 40 With Mild to Moderate Facial Laxity
Ultherapy PRIME® works well for people of any gender and skin type, typically 35-50 and older, who want firmer, more lifted skin on the face and neck.
Those Who Want Deep-Level Targeting Without the Surgery
You like the idea of lifting the same deep tissue a facelift addresses, but you are not ready for the pain, risk, or recovery time that comes with it. People Who Want a Natural, Gradual Change You do not want a dramatic, overnight transformation. You want to look more rested and refreshed, in a way that looks like you, not like “work.”
Busy Professionals Who Cannot Take Downtime
You want visible, lasting improvement, but a treatment that requires weeks of recovery simply is not an option for your schedule.
Who Ultherapy PRIME® is not for: If you have significant, advanced skin laxity, a surgical facelift may deliver the dramatic change you are looking for more effectively, and we will tell you honestly at your consultation.
The same collagen-building science, head to toe. Ultherapy is FDA-cleared for non-invasive lifting of the brow, submental (under chin), neck, and improvement of lines and wrinkles on the décolleté (chest). Many patients lift the brow, jawline, and neck while also smoothing their chest, all in one session.
Ultherapy PRIME® delivers precise, deep micro-focused ultrasound energy to lift and strengthen the foundational SMAS layer (the same layer surgeons target), while XERF’s multi-wave radiofrequency provides broader bulk heating and collagen stimulation across multiple tissue depths. Together, they address more layers of aging in one plan.
Ultherapy PRIME® uses precise ultrasound energy to lift and strengthen the deep foundational layers (SMAS), while Emface simultaneously tones and lifts the facial muscles using synchronized RF and HIFES technology. Together they deliver comprehensive, multi-layered rejuvenation.
Ultherapy PRIME® provides deep structural lifting and long-term collagen stimulation by targeting the foundational SMAS layer and building new collagen over time. Injectables (such as hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra, or biostimulators) then restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance contours in the mid-face, cheeks, temples, and lips. Together they deliver synergistic results: lifting + volume.
When falling estrogen, increased inflammation, Toxic burden, or increased ROS and mitochondrial damage is speeding up your collagen loss, treating skin alone is half the answer. Through Dr. Doug Cutler, ND of Cutler Integrative Medicine, we test and get to the root cause of your internal aging drivers that speed your collagen loss, so we protect and enhance your results from the inside out.
“After years of microneedling at other practices, I tried XERF at FACE and was blown away. I saw lifting after my first session, no needles, no numbing, and no downtime. My jawline looks more defined than it has in years, and the team’s expertise in combining it with my Emface treatments made all the difference.”
Stephanie., Age 49, West Bloomfield
I researched a facelift for over a year and just could not commit to the recovery time with my job. They walked me through exactly what to expect, and the treatment was so much more comfortable than I expected. My jawline is noticeably firmer now and my neck looks so much better in photos.
Angela P., Age 55, Bloomfield Hills
My mom had a facelift in her 50s and I always thought that was my only option too. FACE showed me a completely different path. Six months out, my whole face looks lifted and rested, and it happened so gradually that even my husband couldn’t pinpoint what changed.
Diane W., Age 58, Northville
I run my own business and could not take two weeks off for a facelift recovery. One Ultherapy PRIME® session, zero downtime, and by month four my jawline looked like it did ten years ago. Worth every minute of the appointment.
Sarah T., Age 44, Rochester Hills
FACE Medspa proudly offers FDA-Cleared treatment to patients throughout:
A dropping brow, a softening jawline, or a loosening neck does not have to mean surgery. One Ultherapy PRIME® session starts your skin rebuilding its own collagen, and your free consultation tells you exactly what is possible for your face.
Ultherapy PRIME® is the gold-standard in non-surgical lifting that uses focused ultrasound to lift and tighten loose skin on the face and neck. It reaches the same SMAS deep tissue layer a surgeon lifts during a facelift, triggering your body to build new collagen for firmer, more lifted skin.
