Ultherapy PRIME
Non-surgical skin lifting that works
Skin laxity and loss of firmness are common concerns as collagen production naturally declines with age. Ultherapy PRIME® is a non-surgical, FDA-cleared treatment that uses advanced ultrasound technology to stimulate your body’s natural collagen, lifting and tightening the skin over time without downtime or surgery. If you are looking for a safe, effective way to achieve natural-looking lift and firmness, contact Ohara Dermatology to learn if Ultherapy PRIME® is right for you.

What is Ultherapy Prime?
Ultherapy Prime is a non-invasive ultrasound treatment designed to lift, tone, and tighten the skin naturally. Unlike lasers that target the surface, Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound energy deep beneath the skin to the foundational layers where collagen lives, without disrupting the outer layer. This gentle yet precise method stimulates new collagen production, resulting in gradual, natural-looking lifting and firming of the skin over time.
Is Ultherapy Right for Me?
Ultherapy offers a non-invasive lifting and tightening treatment that’s gentler and more natural than surgical procedures, while still delivering noticeable results. Choosing the right option is key to achieving the refined, refreshed look you’re hoping for.
During your consultation with Dr. Ohara Aivaz, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your aesthetic goals, review your treatment options, and create a customized plan that enhances your skin’s natural firmness and contour. Each treatment can be tailored to specific areas and combined with complementary procedures to optimize your outcome.
Some signs that Ultherapy may be right for you include:
Wanting a subtle, natural-looking lift without surgery or downtime
Having mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, or décolletage
Looking to tighten and smooth skin on the abdomen or arms
Preferring a treatment that stimulates your body’s own collagen for gradual, lasting results

What Is a Treatment Session Like?
Part of what makes Ultherapy so appealing is its ability to deliver visible lifting and tightening with little to no downtime. Treatment sessions are quick, comfortable, and designed around you, all while promoting natural collagen renewal beneath the skin.
Treatment Session Overview
Step 1: Come prepared. Avoid makeup, lotion, or sunscreen on the treatment area. It’s best to refrain from recent tanning, waxing, or other energy-based treatments prior to your session.
Step 2: Preparing the skin. Your comfort is our priority. We will apply a special numbing cream (if needed) to the treatment area and may offer Pro-Nox™, a gentle mix of nitrous oxide and oxygen, to ensure a more relaxed experience.
Step 3: The ultrasound lift. Using the Ultherapy handpiece, precise ultrasound energy is delivered beneath the skin’s surface to targeted layers where collagen naturally forms. You may feel brief warmth or tingling. Each area is treated methodically for consistent and even results.
Does Ultherapy Treatment Have a Recovery Period?
Ultherapy is known for its minimal downtime compared to more invasive lifting procedures. While treatment delivers focused ultrasound energy deep beneath the skin, it leaves the surface completely intact—meaning you can return to your usual activities right away.
Some patients experience mild redness, tenderness, or swelling for a few hours following treatment, and it’s normal to feel slight sensitivity or tingling in the treated areas for a few days.
Your Results: Duration and Quality
Ultherapy results develop gradually and naturally as new collagen forms beneath the skin. This process takes time but leads to consistent, lasting improvements in lift and firmness. Unlike surface treatments, Ultherapy works from within — harnessing your body’s own regenerative response to rebuild support where it’s needed most.
What to Know About Results
It can take 2–3 months to see the full results as collagen remodeling completes.
Some patients notice subtle tightening within 2–4 weeks following treatment.
Results typically last 12 months or longer, depending on age, skin health, and lifestyle.
Annual maintenance sessions or “booster” treatments are recommended to sustain lift and firmness over time.
