Ultherapy PRIME® vs. Ultherapy®: What’s New and Why It Matters in 2025

Posted on July 11, 2025 by Dr. Blume in Ultherapy

If you’ve ever looked into non-surgical skin tightening, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of Ultherapy®. It’s been the go-to treatment for lifting and firming the face, neck, and chest without surgery. Now in 2025, a major upgrade has arrived: Ultherapy PRIME®.

So what’s the difference between Ultherapy and Ultherapy PRIME®? And why is this new version making waves in the world of aesthetics?

Whether you’ve tried the original Ultherapy in the past or you’re just starting your skin tightening journey, here’s everything you need to know about how Ultherapy PRIME is raising the bar and why Blume Skin & Body is the top choice for this cutting-edge treatment in Scottsdale.

What Is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared treatment that uses microfocused ultrasound to lift and tighten the skin. It targets deep layers of tissue below the surface, stimulating collagen production where it matters most. Over time, this collagen rebuilds and strengthens the skin from within.

It’s a favorite among patients who want a natural-looking lift without surgery. The original Ultherapy is known for its effectiveness, but for some, the experience could feel a little uncomfortable or time-consuming. That’s where Ultherapy PRIME comes in.

Meet Ultherapy PRIME: The Next Generation of Non-Surgical Lifting

Ultherapy PRIME is the latest evolution of Ultherapy technology, and it improves the patient experience across the board.

It still uses ultrasound energy to tighten and lift skin, but it’s been enhanced with upgraded software and real-time imaging. This allows providers to see exactly where the energy is being delivered and adjust in real time for greater accuracy and comfort.

Patients can now enjoy shorter treatment times, a more comfortable experience, and the same long-lasting results they’ve come to expect.

Blume Skin & Body is proud to be one of the first practices in Arizona to offer Ultherapy PRIME. In fact, we’re a Center of Excellence for Merz/Ultherapy, and our team has trained providers across the country on this advanced technology.

The bottom line? Ultherapy PRIME offers everything you love about Ultherapy with less discomfort, better precision, and faster treatment times. It’s a true upgrade—and not every provider has it.

Why Patients Love Ultherapy PRIME

With Ultherapy PRIME, you get all the benefits of traditional Ultherapy, along with some key improvements that make it more patient-friendly.

1. More Comfort:
Thanks to software enhancements and more precise energy delivery, the treatment feels smoother and more tolerable than ever before.

2. Shorter Sessions:
You’ll spend less time in the chair while still getting powerful collagen-boosting results.

3. Enhanced Results:
More accurate targeting helps providers focus the energy exactly where it’s needed, leading to even better contouring and lifting.

4. Long-Lasting Results:
You’ll continue to see improvement over 3 to 6 months, with results that last up to 1 to 3 years depending on your skin and aging process.

Yes, That’s Selma Hayek

If Ultherapy PRIME sounds familiar, you might have seen it featured in a recent national campaign starring actress Selma Hayek. The campaign brought renewed attention to the treatment’s ability to deliver natural-looking, non-surgical results.

The message was clear: Ultherapy PRIME is for people who want to look refreshed, not “done,” and who value high-tech solutions for aging beautifully. At Blume, that’s exactly the kind of patient experience we strive to deliver every day.
