Overview

Revitalize your skin with non-invasive Ultherapy Prime® at Schlessinger MD in Omaha. Harnessing the power of ultrasound energy to lift, tighten and rejuvenate the skin, Ultherapy Prime® improves areas such as the neck, jawline, brow area, and décolletage. By penetrating deeper into the skin, this FDA-cleared procedure can reduce the appearance of age lines and wrinkles. Ultherapy Prime® is a great alternative to facelifts, with no surgical cuts or downtime.

Drs. Joel and Daniel Schlessinger, and the experts at Schlessinger MD, are proud to have been the first clinic in Nebraska to offer the Ultherapy® skin tightening procedure for lifting, toning, and tightening loose, sagging skin, and are now the first in Nebraska to offer Ultherapy Prime. A series of treatments is recommended for optimal results, spaced 12-18 months apart.

Your skin tightening consultation

You will meet either Dr. Joel or Dr. Daniel Schlessinger when you schedule an aesthetic consultation at Schlessinger MD to discuss skin tightening treatment options, such as Ultherapy Prime®. The consultation serves as an opportunity to discuss your aesthetic goals, assess whether you are a candidate for the treatment and create your personalized treatment plan.

What is Ultherapy Prime® skin tightening?

Ultherapy Prime® utilizes microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) to deliver precise ultrasound energy to the deep layers of your skin. It uses focused ultrasound, similar to that used in pregnancy imaging, and is delivered via a wand held above the skin. The ultrasound waves are guided into deeper layers of skin at depths of 1.5mm, 3.0mm and 4.5mm where collagen is present.

Ultrasound waves heat collagen at precise depths, creating thermal coagulation points that stimulate collagen production. Gradually, over the next few months, your body begins producing new collagen. Because new collagen crisscrosses like a bridge to create a revitalized structure under your skin (rebuilding the very structures that are breaking down over time), your facial areas and neck can be tightened and uplifted as these new structures take shape. With this lifting and tightening procedure, you can go about your day after a single in-office procedure lasting just 60-90 minutes.

Ultherapy Prime® features vivid real-time imaging that allows your practitioner to visualize the layers of tissue being treated, ensuring energy is delivered precisely where it will be most effective for personalized, safe results.

How Ultherapy Prime® enhances the original Ultherapy treatment:

Ultherapy Prime® represents a significant advancement over the original Ultherapy technology. This upgraded system features a more comfortable, enhanced real-time visualization, allowing your provider to see tissue layers with unprecedented clarity during treatment. The Prime upgrade also delivers faster treatment times and improved patient comfort through optimized energy delivery patterns. While maintaining the same proven microfocused ultrasound technology that made Ultherapy the gold standard in non-invasive lifting, Ultherapy Prime® offers more precise targeting, customizable treatment depths and a more refined patient experience. This means you can achieve the same natural-looking, gradual results you’d expect from Ultherapy, but with greater precision and efficiency.

Patient reviews

★★★★★

I had Ultherapy and it was one of the best things I’ve done for myself! The procedure itself was not unpleasant at all – very minor discomfort. The results are fabulous and I can already see the difference! Dr. Schlessinger and his staff are artists! I am so happy with the outcome. I would highly recommend Dr. Schlessinger.

Ultherapy Prime Q&As with Dr. Schlessinger

Your commonly asked questions about Ultherapy Prime answered.

You are an ideal candidate for Ultherapy Prime® if you are looking for a non-invasive skin tightening and wrinkle treatment. It is commonly used for women and men aged 30 and above with mild to moderate skin laxity; it is important to still have some skin elasticity to achieve better results.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you may not be recommended to undergo the procedure. The treatment cannot be utilized if you have open wounds or active skin infections in the treatment area. We’ll evaluate your skin and discuss the details of the procedure in more depth during your consultation.

Your Ultherapy Prime® procedure at Schlessinger MD begins with cleansing the target areas, so plan to arrive at your appointment with makeup-free skin. We strive to make patients as comfortable as possible, so patients will be offered Pro-Nox (laughing gas) and handheld stimulation devices to ease any discomfort. A special ultrasound gel will be applied to the treatment areas.

We will then use a handheld device to deliver focused ultrasound energy to the targeted regions. You might feel a little heat and tingling during the 60 to 90-minute procedure. The Ultherapy Prime® treatment is very precise and shown to be safe in clinical studies. It acts specifically on the treatment area and does not damage the skin’s surface, though occasionally temporary welts may occur that resolve quickly.

Recovery after Ultherapy Prime® is usually quick and straightforward, with minimal downtime. You may experience some temporary redness, swelling or mild tenderness, but these effects typically subside within a few hours to a few days. To minimize discomfort and support healing, avoid excessive touching, rubbing or scratching of the treated skin.

Keep your skin well-moisturized following Ultherapy Prime®. Choose only gentle, hydrating moisturizers that are free from harsh ingredients. While there is generally no need for extensive downtime after Ultherapy Prime®, it’s advisable to avoid harsh chemicals on or around the face for a few days after the treatment.

The cost of an Ultherapy Prime® treatment varies depending on the extent of correction required to achieve the desired results in the treatment area. During your consultation, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan that includes the exact cost of your treatment. Since Ultherapy Prime® is a cosmetic procedure, it is not covered by insurance and payments will come out of pocket. To make it more affordable, we offer flexible financing options to help with payments.

“With this skin rejuvenation procedure, you can go about your day after a single in-office procedure lasting just 60 to 90 minutes.”
