Ultherapy PRIME: What You Should Know Before You Start
A Complete Overview of Ultherapy PRIME, the Micro-Focused Ultrasound Facelift Now Available at Cellesis Clinic in Mont Kiara
What Is Ultherapy PRIME?
Ultherapy PRIME is a non-invasive, micro-focused ultrasound treatment that lifts and tightens the face, neck and décolletage by stimulating the skin’s own natural collagen production deep beneath the surface, without any incisions, injections or downtime.
Non-invasive lift with no incisions, injections or downtime required
FDA-cleared ultrasound energy targets the SMAS layer beneath the skin
Gradual, natural-looking results as new collagen forms
At Cellesis Clinic in Mont Kiara, Ultherapy PRIME is administered under the personal guidance of Dr. Chong Sai Ho, giving patients a safe, personalised and medically supervised approach to natural-looking facial rejuvenation and skin tightening.
How Ultherapy PRIME Works: The Full Treatment Process
Before your first session at Cellesis Clinic, it helps to understand exactly what happens during a typical Ultherapy PRIME appointment.
- Consultation: Dr. Chong Sai Ho examines your skin laxity, bone structure and aesthetic goals to confirm that Ultherapy PRIME is suitable for you.
- Cleansing: your face, neck and décolletage are thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup, oils and surface debris before mapping.
- Skin mapping: treatment zones are carefully outlined to guide precise, consistent ultrasound energy placement across each area.
- Ultrasound imaging: the built-in imaging screen shows the tissue layers beneath your skin so energy reaches the correct depth.
- Energy delivery: focused ultrasound pulses are delivered to the SMAS layer, triggering a natural collagen-rebuilding response over time.
- Sensation monitoring: you may feel brief warmth, tingling or prickling as energy reaches the deeper tissue layers.
- Aftercare guidance: you receive simple post-treatment advice and can typically resume normal daily activities right away.
Most sessions take around 60 to 90 minutes from start to finish.

Ultherapy PRIME Versus Other Options
Many patients ask how Ultherapy PRIME compares with HIFU, Fotona 4D, fillers and biostimulators before choosing the right option.
| Treatment | How It Works | Best Suited For |
| Ultherapy PRIME | Micro-focused ultrasound energy is delivered precisely to the SMAS layer beneath the skin, stimulating the body's own natural collagen production without any cutting, injecting or downtime involved | Mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck and décolletage in patients who want a natural, gradual lifting result, typically needed just once a year |
| HIFU | High-intensity focused ultrasound heats deeper tissue layers across a wider area to encourage overall firmness and gradual tightening over several weeks | General skin firmness concerns and early, mild signs of sagging across larger areas of the face and body, typically requiring 3-4 repeat sessions |
| Fotona 4D | A non-surgical laser facelift that combines multiple laser wavelengths to heat tissue at different depths, stimulating collagen production and gradual skin tightening | Patients seeking a non-surgical laser facelift alternative with gradual collagen stimulation and skin tightening over time |
| Fillers & Biostimulators | Injectable volumisers or collagen stimulators such as Sculptra and Radiesse are used to restore lost facial volume and rebuild structure gradually | Volume loss, hollowing and facial contouring concerns rather than skin laxity or sagging alone |
What to Expect at Your First Consultation
Your first visit to Cellesis Clinic is focused on understanding your skin and setting realistic expectations before any treatment begins.
- A detailed skin assessment to evaluate laxity, elasticity and specific areas of concern across the face, neck and décolletage.
- A conversation about your medical history, skincare goals, lifestyle and any previous aesthetic treatments you have undergone.
- A clear explanation of how Ultherapy PRIME works, what sensations to expect and a realistic treatment timeline.
- A personalised treatment plan outlining the recommended areas, number of sessions and simple aftercare guidance.
Preparing for Your Ultherapy PRIME Treatment Day
In the days before your appointment, avoid excessive sun exposure, harsh exfoliants and any new skincare products so your skin stays calm and well hydrated.
On the day itself, arrive with a clean face free of makeup, lotion or sunscreen so the technology can work directly on bare skin.
Taking a mild painkiller beforehand, if recommended by your doctor, can help keep you comfortable throughout, and the Cellesis Clinic team will walk you through every step of the process so nothing feels unexpected.
