Ultherapy Prime Singapore | Frances Medical & Aesthetic Clinic

What is Ultherapy Prime?

A quicker protocol for earlier concerns.

Ultherapy Prime is a lighter, faster protocol variant of HIFU technology, tailored for early signs of skin laxity or as a preventative and maintenance lift. It uses a similar mechanism to standard HIFU, with energy delivery adapted for a quicker session suited to earlier-stage concerns.

At FMAC, Ultherapy Prime is assessed and delivered by Dr Gerald Tan, who will confirm whether this lighter protocol or standard HIFU is more appropriate for your skin at consultation.

How it works

The same mechanism, tailored lighter.

Ultherapy Prime uses focused ultrasound energy in the same way as standard HIFU, directed at a depth designed to stimulate collagen production. The protocol is adapted with tailored energy delivery for a quicker session, suited to patients with earlier signs of laxity or those seeking a preventative maintenance treatment.
