Ultherapy PRIME
Lift skin that’s starting to soften.
Care for your jawline, the skin beneath your chin and your neck.
Ultrasound lifting.
With greater comfort than before.
Ultherapy PRIME delivers focused ultrasound to selected tissue depths to stimulate collagen production and lift lax skin. DeepSEE® shows real-time images of the tissue beneath the skin, including the SMAS layer, so your doctor can assess the tissue, check transducer contact and choose an appropriate depth before delivering energy. [1] [16]
Patients say PRIME
feels less painful after treatment.
People who had received both treatments reported less pain after Ultherapy PRIME than after the original (Legacy) platform.

A softer jawline.
Lax skin beneath the chin or a lower brow?
Ultherapy PRIME is an option for mild to moderate skin laxity when you want lifting without surgery. Your assessment considers both the area that concerns you and what is causing the change. [2]
01A less defined jawline
When skin on the lower face and beneath the chin becomes lax, lifting that tissue may improve the appearance of the jawline. Your doctor checks whether laxity is the main cause or whether other factors contribute.
02Lax skin beneath the chin and on the neck
Ultherapy can lift skin in these areas. The degree of laxity and the size of the treatment area help determine transducer selection and line allocation. [1]
03A brow you would like to lift
Ultherapy can lift the brow. Your doctor assesses the brow position and treatment area beforehand. This does not involve delivering energy into the eye or eyelid. [1]
04Volume loss or substantial laxity
Changes in your face can involve both volume loss and lax skin. Ultherapy lifts tissue but does not replace lost volume. If laxity is substantial or you hope for a larger change, your doctor will explain other options. [2]
DeepSEE® reveals tissue and the SMAS layer.
Your doctor chooses where to treat.
Tissue thickness and position vary from one area to another. Ultrasound imaging lets your doctor assess the tissue beneath the transducer and confirm a suitable depth before delivering focused energy to stimulate collagen. [1]
Imaging to guide treatment placement
Your doctor reads the tissue image, checks contact between the transducer and skin, and considers bone position when choosing treatment areas. This adds information from beneath the skin to the treatment decision. [1]
Focused energy to stimulate collagen
At the selected depth, focused ultrasound creates small thermal treatment points in the tissue, stimulating a collagen response. Skin changes continue to develop after treatment day. [1]
Imaging informs treatment. Outcomes still depend on assessment, technique and your individual response.
What has improved with PRIME?
Ultherapy PRIME includes improvements to both imaging and device operation. Its screen is 35% larger, with brighter, crisper images and a faster refresh rate, helping your doctor see tissue detail and use the display during treatment. PRIME combines real-time ultrasound imaging with focused energy to plan lifting based on your tissue. [6]

Understand the plan before treatment.
At BEHAP, you can discuss concerns about your jawline, the skin beneath your chin, your neck or your brow with a doctor. The assessment helps identify which areas need lifting and whether other concerns need attention alongside them. [4]
Understand the plan and price before deciding
Your doctor assesses the areas that concern you and explains the proposed treatment areas, line allocation and cost. You can understand the plan and ask questions before deciding.
Comfort starts with skin preparation
Discuss skin preparation and comfort measures with the team before treatment, and share how you feel during it. The photographs below show actual skin preparation and hand massage during the waiting period at BEHAP.
Follow the changes with comparison photographs
Use baseline and follow-up photographs taken from similar angles to review your jawline, the skin beneath your chin or other treated areas. Discuss with your doctor when to assess the results and how to care for your skin afterwards.

Ultherapy PRIME MAX
PRIME MAX is a Merz Aesthetics approach that connects skin assessment, tissue imaging and line allocation with follow-up. Your doctor considers which areas to treat, whether to treat in one session or divide treatment across sessions, and when to reassess your skin.
Why plan your care
with PRIME MAX?
The goal is to lift the areas that concern you, with a clear plan for where to treat, how many lines to use and when to follow up. PRIME MAX connects assessment and treatment with ongoing care, so you can see the whole plan before you begin.
Plan treatment using tissue imaging
DeepSEE® shows the tissue beneath your skin, including the SMAS layer, helping your doctor check transducer contact and confirm an appropriate depth for energy delivery. Your lifting plan is informed by the structure of the areas you want to treat. [1] [16]
Allocate lines around your treatment areas
Your doctor plans line allocation around your treatment areas, skin condition and goals, and explains whether to treat in one session or divide treatment as planned. You can understand the treatment scope and the reasoning behind the line allocation before deciding. [7]
Follow progress as collagen develops
Focused ultrasound energy stimulates new collagen production, with tightening developing gradually over approximately two to three months. Follow-up helps you and your doctor assess the changes and review ongoing care based on your skin’s response. [2]
The Merz Aesthetics PRIME MAX framework uses 800–1,200 lines per year. Your doctor determines your line allocation, treatment areas, sessions and timing from your skin assessment. [7]
When will you see a change?
Review firmness over 2–3 months.
Some people notice an initial change, while the collagen response develops over approximately 2–3 months. Compare baseline and follow-up photographs from similar angles to see changes in the treated areas. Facial lifting results may last a year or more; duration depends on your skin’s response and ongoing ageing. [2]

See how new collagen forms—and why firmness develops gradually.
What happens to collagen after treatment?
- 01Begins after energy delivery
Trigger a repair response
REPAIR RESPONSESmall points of heat stimulate the tissue’s natural response.
- 02Develops over the following weeks
Build new collagen
NEOCOLLAGENESISFibroblasts produce new collagen fibres to rebuild the skin’s supporting structure.
- 03Continues over weeks to months
Remodel the fibres
COLLAGEN REMODELINGCollagen fibres gradually mature and form connections, contributing to developing firmness.
Collagen synthesis and remodeling are ongoing, overlapping processes while visible changes gradually develop. [14]
Follow changes over time
- Treatment dayThe process begins
The tissue response starts after energy delivery.
- 2–3 monthsReview developing firmness
Compare treated areas with your baseline photographs.
- Up to 6 monthsFurther change is possible
Some people may see continued improvement during this period.
Read about the collagen process
Firmness develops gradually as the skin produces new collagen (neocollagenesis) and remodels its collagen fibres after ultrasound treatment. [14]
Small points of heat in the tissue trigger a natural repair response. Fibroblasts—the cells that build the skin’s supporting structure—then produce new collagen, which gradually matures and remodels. [14]
This process continues over weeks to months. Changes are commonly reviewed at 2–3 months, and some people may see further improvement for up to 6 months. [2] [14]
- DAY 0
Moisturise and protect from the sun
Use moisturiser and sunscreen consistently. Choose a moisturiser suited to your skin and a broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours while outdoors. [15]
You can generally resume daily activities after treatment, following your doctor’s guidance. Temporary redness may occur on the first day. [1] [2]
- DAYS 1–7
Give your skin time to settle
Mild swelling or tenderness can occur. Swelling generally settles within a few days, while tenderness may last longer. [1]
- AROUND MONTH 1
Begin comparing photographs
Some people may start noticing changes. Compare similar angles, lighting and expressions while firmness continues to develop. [2]
- MONTHS 2–3
Review developing firmness
Review lifting changes as the skin responds and new collagen develops. Compare the treated areas with your baseline photographs. [2]
- MONTHS 9–12
Consider next year’s plan
Consider returning for a skin assessment and a discussion of next year’s care. Your doctor can review remaining firmness and the areas you want to address. [7]
How does it feel, and how should you plan recovery?
Heat, pain or tingling may occur during energy delivery, with sensation varying by area and person. Discuss preparation and comfort measures before treatment. Redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising and temporary numbness or muscle weakness can occur afterwards. Tell the team about important events when booking. [1]
What to tell your doctor first
Tell your doctor about health conditions, medicines, implanted devices, fillers, previous procedures, pregnancy and breastfeeding. Also mention open wounds, severe or cystic acne in the treatment area, and relevant active or metallic implants so your doctor can check contraindications and plan treatment. [1]
Returning to everyday activities does not mean there will be no symptoms. Contact the clinic for assessment if you have severe pain, skin injury or an unexpected symptom.

Questions before you decide
ULTHERAPY PRIME / BEHAP
Does Ultherapy PRIME hurt? Is it less painful than the original (Legacy) platform?
People who had received both treatments reported less pain after Ultherapy PRIME than after the original (Legacy) platform. See the survey’s comparative scores. [3]
You may still feel pain, heat or tingling as energy is delivered during treatment. Sensations vary from person to person. [1] [2]
How does Ultherapy PRIME differ from HIFU?
Ultherapy PRIME uses microfocused ultrasound with real-time tissue visualization, or MFU-V. The image beneath the skin helps your doctor choose treatment depth. HIFU describes multiple systems; ask about the exact model, imaging and doctor’s plan when comparing services. [1]
How has PRIME improved on the original Ultherapy platform?
Ultherapy PRIME includes improvements to both imaging and device operation. Its screen is 35% larger, with brighter, crisper images and a faster refresh rate, helping your doctor see tissue detail and use the display during treatment. PRIME combines real-time ultrasound imaging with focused energy to plan lifting based on your tissue. [6]
How many lines do I need?
Your line count depends on the treatment area, degree of laxity and goals. Treating skin beneath the chin alone has a different scope from treating the face and neck. Ask your doctor to explain how lines are allocated across the areas before treatment.
What does Ultherapy PRIME cost, and are there promotions?
Promotional rate: no more than THB 100 per line. The total cost depends on the planned lines and service details. Check the latest prices and promotions via LINE @behapwellness or Instagram @behap.clinic.
Can I return to work after treatment?
You can generally return to everyday activities under your doctor’s guidance, although redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising can occur. Tell the team about important events or camera work when booking so you can plan the timing. [1] [2]
What should I mention about fillers or previous device treatments?
Share the product, location and date of previous procedures. Your doctor assesses treatment areas and sequencing, avoiding energy delivery directly over areas containing fillers. [1]
