If you’ve noticed your jawline softening, your skin losing firmness, or a little laxity appearing beneath your chin, you’re not alone. As collagen levels decline with age, our skin naturally starts to lose its structural support. But there’s now a sophisticated, clinically proven solution that tightens and lifts – without downtime.
At The Stockbridge Clinic in Edinburgh, Ultherapy® Prime represents the latest generation of non-surgical facelift technology. Using precision ultrasound energy, it works deep within the skin to stimulate your own collagen production and gradually restore a firmer, more youthful contour.
Ultherapy® Prime is a non-invasive treatment that harnesses micro-focused ultrasound (MFU) energy to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin from within. Unlike other treatments that work only at the surface, Ultherapy® penetrates to the structural layers beneath the skin – the same depth targeted during surgical facelifts.
By delivering controlled thermal energy, the treatment triggers your body’s natural healing response, producing fresh collagen and elastin over time. The result? A subtle, natural lift that develops gradually across the following months, improving tone, elasticity, and definition.
Ultherapy® Prime has become known as the gold standard for non-surgical skin lifting – and for good reason. It offers precision, comfort, and clinically verified results, without the recovery time or risks associated with surgery.
One of the reasons Ultherapy® stands apart is its built-in imaging technology. This allows your clinician to visualise the exact depth of the tissue being treated in real time. At The Stockbridge Clinic, our practitioners tailor every pulse of energy precisely to your anatomy, ensuring a safe and effective outcome every time.
There’s no downtime with Ultherapy® Prime. Most patients return to work or social plans immediately after treatment. Improvements develop from three to six months as new collagen forms beneath the surface. Results typically last 18-24 months, depending on your individual skin condition and lifestyle.
Rather than adding volume, Ultherapy® works with your body’s own regenerative capacity. The lift is gradual and authentic – you’ll look like yourself, just firmer and more rested. It’s the ideal choice for those who prefer a discreet yet transformative approach to rejuvenation.
Ultherapy® Prime uses focused ultrasound waves that safely bypass the skin’s surface to reach up to 4.5 mm below. At this depth, collagen fibres begin to weaken over time, leading to sagging and loss of firmness.
The targeted ultrasound energy causes a precise thermal effect, contracting existing collagen and stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen. This process continues for months, strengthening the skin’s support structure from within.
Unlike laser or radiofrequency treatments, Ultherapy® does not rely on heat diffusion through the surface. Instead, it delivers energy exactly where it’s needed, ensuring both comfort and accuracy.
Ultherapy® Prime is suitable for anyone starting to notice the first signs of skin laxity or wishing to preserve facial structure before visible ageing takes hold. At The Stockbridge Clinic, common treatment areas include:
Because it’s non-invasive, Ultherapy® is also an excellent maintenance option following injectables or laser procedures, helping to sustain results long-term.
Every Ultherapy® Prime journey begins with a comprehensive medical consultation. Our clinicians assess your skin’s health, discuss your goals, and ensure that this treatment aligns with your needs.
A typical treatment lasts 60-90 minutes, depending on the area. Ultrasound gel is applied to the skin, and focused energy is delivered in precise pulses. You may feel a gentle tingling or warmth – this is a positive sign that collagen stimulation is underway.
There’s minimal to no downtime. Some patients notice mild redness or tenderness for a few hours, which subsides quickly. You can return to normal activities immediately, making this an ideal “lunchtime lift.”
You’ll see subtle tightening within weeks, with full results appearing after three to six months. Because Ultherapy® encourages your body to rebuild collagen naturally, the benefits continue to develop and can last for up to two years.
At The Stockbridge Clinic, medical precision and patient safety are our top priorities. Our practitioners are highly experienced in advanced facial rejuvenation and specialise in using technology like Ultherapy® Prime to deliver natural, balanced results.
We believe in personalised care. Every treatment plan is built around your unique facial anatomy, skin health, and long-term goals. By combining Ultherapy® with other collagen-stimulating treatments such as Sculptra®, Radiesse®, BELOTERO® Revive, or Exosome Therapy, we can create a layered, regenerative approach that strengthens and supports the skin at every level.
You may be an ideal candidate if you:
Ultherapy® Prime is suitable for all skin types and tones. During your consultation, your clinician will advise on the best course of treatment for your goals.
Most patients feel only mild warmth or tingling as the energy is delivered. Any discomfort is brief and a positive indication of collagen activation.
Typically, just one session delivers noticeable results, though maintenance treatments every 18–24 months help sustain firmness.
Initial tightening can appear within weeks, with full results developing between three and six months as new collagen forms.
Absolutely. Ultherapy® works beautifully alongside regenerative injectables, laser therapy, and medical skincare to enhance and extend your results.
