Ulthera Prime is Merz Aesthetics' next-generation micro-focused ultrasound (MFU) lifting platform, launched as the successor to the original Ultherapy system. The Prime upgrade brings See+Treat real-time visualisation across all transducers (the classic system had imaging on fewer cartridges), a finer treatment matrix that delivers more energy per line with less discomfort, and faster session times — a full-face Prime lift typically takes 35-50 minutes versus 60-90 minutes for the classic platform. ฿37,999 per session at VERZO CLINIC.
Pricing is per session — one Prime session covers the area that historically required 400-500 lines on classic Ultherapy. Results begin tightening at 2-4 weeks and peak at 3-6 months as new collagen forms; the lift lasts 12-24 months depending on age and baseline laxity. Many patients choose Prime over classic Ultherapy specifically for the shorter chair time and improved comfort profile.
Like classic Ultherapy, Prime delivers MFU energy at 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm depths — and adds See+Treat live ultrasound imaging across every transducer so the doctor can confirm the SMAS layer before every shot. Coverage:
Ulthera Prime in Singapore typically costs SGD 4,500-7,500 (≈ ฿115,000-195,000) per session; Hong Kong HKD 22,000-38,000 (≈ ฿100,000-175,000); Japan ¥320,000-650,000 (≈ ฿70,000-145,000). At VERZO Bangkok the same Merz-supplied Prime session is ฿37,999 — roughly a third to a quarter of the per-session cost in those markets. The compact 35-50 minute treatment time makes Prime ideal for short Bangkok trips: arrive afternoon, free consultation, treat next morning, fly home that evening.
Every Ulthera Prime session at VERZO is performed by a Thai Medical Council-licensed aesthetic doctor with formal Merz Prime training. The clinic operates under a Ministry of Public Health facility licence; transducer cartridges are single-use and the patient may inspect the lot, expiry, and line counter on each cartridge before the session. A free day-14 follow-up photo is included.
At VERZO CLINIC Bangkok, a full-face Ulthera Prime session is ฿37,999 — significantly cheaper than the same Merz Prime treatment in Singapore (SGD 4,500-7,500 ≈ ฿115,000-195,000) or Japan (¥320,000-650,000 ≈ ฿70,000-145,000). Pricing is per session, not per line.
Prime is Merz's newer platform. Versus classic Ultherapy it offers: live ultrasound imaging on every transducer (not just some), a finer treatment matrix that distributes energy more efficiently, faster sessions (35-50 min vs 60-90 min), and improved comfort. The lifting biology is the same — SMAS-layer collagen remodelling — but Prime is more pleasant to undergo. Classic Ultherapy is slightly cheaper and still a strong choice. At VERZO we offer both so patients can decide on comfort vs. budget.
Visible tightening begins at 2-4 weeks. Full collagen remodelling peaks at 3-6 months and results last 12-24 months — equivalent to classic Ultherapy. Most patients re-treat every 12-18 months to maintain.
Most patients report Prime is noticeably more comfortable. The finer treatment matrix distributes energy across more, smaller pulses rather than fewer larger ones, which reduces peak heat intensity per shot. VERZO uses topical numbing cream 30 minutes prior plus optional oral pain relief; no nerve block or sedation is needed.
Yes — Prime's 35-50 minute session is one of the faster MFU options on the market. There is no skin downtime, so patients can fly home the same evening. We recommend an afternoon free consultation, morning treatment, and evening flight.
Yes — like all ultrasound platforms, Prime carries effectively zero risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation on Fitzpatrick III-V skin. See+Treat ultrasound imaging on every cartridge further improves safety by letting the doctor confirm the target tissue before every pulse.
