Ulthera Prime in Mae Sot
Non-Surgical Face Lifting

What is Ulthera Prime?

Ulthera Prime is the original American micro-focused ultrasound (MFU) lifting technology — the only device of its kind US FDA-cleared for lifting. It delivers energy deep to the SMAS muscle layer, the same layer targeted in a surgical facelift — without surgery, scars or downtime.

What sets the Prime apart is its see-through visualization — real-time imaging of your skin layers during treatment. Your doctor sees exactly where each shot lands, placing energy precisely on the SMAS for clearer results and greater safety.

The technology is called MFU-V (Micro-Focused Ultrasound with Visualization), and it rests on three pillars:

• i.Real-time visualization — the only micro-focused ultrasound FDA-cleared to image beneath the skin during treatment, so your doctor can see each person’s tissue thickness and plan accordingly rather than estimate
• ii.Three treatment depths — thermal coagulation points (TCPs) placed at 1.5, 3 and 4.5 mm, reaching the collagen- and elastin-rich tissue without damaging the skin surface
• iii.Consistent temperature — energy delivered at a steady 60–70°C, the range that triggers tissue contraction and new collagen, making results clear and repeatable

The US FDA-cleared indications cover lifting the neck, under-chin and brow, plus improving lines on the décolletage — backed by a body of data built up over years: 56 clinical studies, over 100 citing publications, 95% patient satisfaction at one year, and more than 3 million treatments performed across 80 countries.

Those figures are product-level data from the manufacturer (Merz Aesthetics), not Peace Clinic statistics — individual results vary.

What can Ulthera improve?

• i.Sharper jawline, lifted cheeks, reduced double chin
• ii.Brow lift and eye-opening effect without surgery
• iii.Softer nasolabial folds and firmer mid-face
• iv.Tighter neck skin, fewer neck lines
• v.New collagen production that keeps improving for months

Ulthera Prime vs generic HIFU

Ulthera and HIFU are often confused since both use focused ultrasound. The difference is precision and certification:

• 01Certification — Ulthera is the only device US FDA-cleared for lifting; most generic HIFU is cleared for device safety only
• 02Real visualization — Prime images your skin layers live; energy reaches the true SMAS rather than being estimated
• 03Results & longevity — accurately-placed energy lifts more visibly and lasts 1–2 years
• 04Safety — seeing the layers helps avoid nerves and vessels, reducing unnecessary risk and pain

The procedure at Peace Clinic

• 01Doctor assesses your facial structure and plans lines and energy placement individually
• 02Cleansing and numbing cream, around 30–45 minutes
• 03The doctor delivers energy per plan with live imaging throughout (60–90 minutes)
• 04Apply makeup and resume your day immediately — no downtime
• 05Follow-up with your doctor at 1 and 3 months

Neck lift clinical study

The clinical study that led to the neck and submental lifting indication was conducted by Jeffery Kenkel, MD at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

Study design

• i.70 participants, treated on the 5.0 protocol
• ii.290 lines across two depths, over the lower face and submentum
• iii.Fixed anatomical landmarks used to quantify lift in a standardised way

Clinical results

* Efficacy measured on the Subject Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (sGAIS), single Ultherapy® treatment of neck, face and décolletage, assessed at day 90.
* Study participants are not Peace Clinic patients — shown as an example of a treatment outcome for one individual patient; results vary from person to person.
