Ultrasound lifting that starts with a look beneath the skin
Using real-time ultrasound imaging to see beneath the skin, we discuss your concerns about skin firmness and lifting for a sagging jawline.
Delivering ultrasound while looking beneath the skin
Ultrasound imaging lets us check the tissue and its depth beneath the skin, and focused ultrasound energy is delivered to the layer containing collagen. We look at the current condition of the tissue to decide the treatment area and depth.
Ultherapy PRIME
Ultherapy PRIME is a device that uses real-time ultrasound imaging as a reference, looking at the skin's tissue to decide where to treat. We discuss a lifting approach that suits your areas of concern and your skin condition.
How focused ultrasound is delivered
Focused ultrasound energy is concentrated and delivered to a target layer beneath the skin. We plan the treatment area while checking the tissue and its depth with ultrasound imaging.
Looking at firmness and the jawline from the deeper layers
This device delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound to the deeper layers of the skin and helps improve firmness and lift. We check the tissue with ultrasound imaging and decide the area and depth.

Looking at firmness, the jawline, and what has changed
If your jawline looks looser than it used to, or a loss of skin firmness concerns you, we review your current condition and your treatment history together.
If your skin firmness is not what it used to be
We check how loose your skin feels and how its firmness has changed recently, then discuss whether a focused ultrasound approach is suitable.
