Ultherapy Prime New York City
Introduction to Ultherapy Prime
Ultherapy Prime is an FDA-approved non-surgical treatment that rejuvenates the face and neck using gentle ultrasound energy. The technology targets the skin’s deepest SMAS layers without damaging surface-level cells. It also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in smoother, firmer skin from within. At William Lao, M.D., in New York City, we offer access to today’s most innovative skincare technologies, including Ultherapy Prime, in order to ensure outstanding results that elevate your confidence and self-image.
Energy is the Future of Beauty

What Is Ultherapy Prime?
Ultherapy Prime is a powerful skin-lifting and firming solution that harnesses state-of-the-art ultrasound energy to rebuild the body’s reserves of collagen, an all-important protein responsible for supple, youthful complexions. In New York City, Dr. Lao and his team use Ultherapy Prime to address mild to moderate skin laxity, addressing issues such as jowls, drooping midface contours, a wilting jawline, and lines, wrinkles, and creases. Highly versatile, the treatment can be used to combat signs of aging in the face, neck, and chest.
Ultherapy Prime is the newest generation of Ultherapy treatment that targets the SMAS fascial layer of the face. The first generation Ultherapy initially came to the market in 2008 and has been widely used to treat facial sagging by tightening and lifting the face. This newest generation of Ultherapy Prime is 20% faster in its treatment time and much more comfortable in terms of pain compared to its predecessor.
