Ultherapy®Prime
The Gold Standard in Non-Surgical Lifting
Precise, image-guided ultrasound technology to lift and tighten the skin from the deep structural layers. Restores youthful contours without surgery or downtime.
Defined. Lifted. Revitalized.
Ultherapy® Prime is the premier non-invasive procedure for lifting and tightening the skin on the neck, under the chin, and on the eyebrow.
Utilizing advanced Micro-Focused Ultrasound (MFU) energy, Ultherapy bypasses the surface of the skin to deliver the right amount of ultrasound energy at the right depths and the right temperature. This energy triggers a natural response under the skin, jumpstarting the regenerative process that produces fresh, new collagen.
Deep Structural Lift
Targets the SMAS layer—the same tissue plane addressed in surgical facelifts—for profound lifting effects.
Real-Time Precision
DeepSEE™ visualization allows our clinicians to see the tissue layers while treating, ensuring energy is delivered safely and effectively.
Natural Regeneration
Stimulates your body's intrinsic collagen production for results that look completely natural and evolve over time.
The Science of Ultrasound
Harnessing the power of sound waves to stimulate deep tissue repair.
Micro-Focused Ultrasound
Delivers focused ultrasound energy to a specific depth, causing thermal coagulation points that initiate collagen synthesis.
Multi-Depth Therapy
We treat at 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm depths to address both superficial skin texture and deep muscular support.
Neocollagenesis
The thermal energy stimulates the production of new, stronger collagen and elastin fibers, tightening the skin matrix.
Non-Invasive Safety
Because the energy is focused deep within the tissue, the surface of the skin remains undisturbed and intact.

During Treatment
Imaging & Mapping
We scan your skin to identify the optimal treatment layers.
Gel Application
Ultrasound gel is applied to facilitate energy transmission.
Energy Delivery
The device delivers focused energy pulses. You may feel heat/tingling.
Completion
The procedure lasts 60-90 minutes depending on areas treated.
After Care
Skin may appear flushed immediately, disappearing within hours.
You may experience slight swelling or tingling for a few weeks.
No special recovery measures are needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Ultherapy Prime different from lasers?+
Lasers typically address superficial skin issues like texture and pigment. Ultherapy uses ultrasound to penetrate deeper (up to 4.5mm) to lift and tighten the foundation of the skin.
What does the treatment feel like?+
As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you will feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initiated. Comfort levels vary, but we provide medical-grade pain management.
Is there any downtime?+
There is no downtime. You can return to your normal activities in Richmond or Vancouver immediately after your procedure without any post-treatment restrictions.
I am looking for Ultherapy in Vancouver, why come to RAAC?+
RAAC is located centrally in Richmond, serving the Greater Vancouver area. We are a high-volume, authorized Ultherapy center with authentic 'Prime' devices, ensuring you receive a safe and effective treatment.
How many treatments will I need?+
Most patients only need one treatment. However, based on the degree of skin laxity, the biological response to ultrasound energy and the individual's collagen-building process, some patients benefit from strictly annual touch-up treatments.
What is the cost of Ultherapy in Vancouver?+
Cost varies based on the areas being treated (e.g., full face, lower face, neck). During your consultation at RAAC, we will provide a detailed quote tailored to your anatomy and goals.
