Ultherapy® Prime in Singapore starts from SGD 1,800++ onwards for lower face and SGD $2,800++ onwards for full face. Treatment areas typically include the cheeks, undereye, brow, jawline, neck and décolletage. It is a single-session, non-invasive treatment that delivers focused ultrasound to the deep SMAS layer, and results typically last 12-18 months. Always choose a Merz certified clinic and an MOH-licensed doctor.
Key Takeaways

What Affects the Cost of Ultherapy® Prime?
Number of Lines (Shots) Delivered
The number of lines is set by the treatment protocol. The protocol requires specific lines per area. This strict international standardisation is intended to ensure effective treatment, visible results and high patient satisfaction.
Customised Treatment Plan
Energy depth and intensity are tailored to your skin and goals. Each skin condition is different, so treatment targets up to three depths:
| Depth | Layer | What it targets |
|---|---|---|
| 4.5mm | SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) | The same deep tissue layer tightened in surgical facelifts. Targeted to tighten and lift. |
| 3.0mm | Deeper dermis and superficial fat | Sculpts the jawline and reduces fullness, such as a double chin. |
| 1.5mm | Superficial dermis | Targets uneven texture, fine lines and crepiness. |
Ultherapy® Prime vs HIFU: Cost and Feature Comparison
Both tighten and lift sagging skin, but they use different technologies. Ultherapy® Prime is a single session from SGD 1,800++, while HIFU is multiple sessions from SGD 2,000++.
| Ultherapy® Prime | HIFU | |
|---|---|---|
| Sessions | One | Multiple |
| Cost (Full face) | From SGD 2,800++ onwards | SGD 800 – SGD 2,500++ |
| Insurance | Not covered | Not covered |
| Operator | MOH-licensed doctor only | Medical-grade HIFU: licensed doctor only.
Lower-energy HIFU: may be operated by beauticians or aestheticians |
| Ultrasound approach | Precisely targets the treated area | Broader, more diffuse |
| Precision | Targets the foundation layer usually addressed in a surgical facelift | Lifts and tightens by heating deeper skin layers |
| Non-invasive | Yes | Yes |
| Collagen and elastin production | Yes | Yes |
| Target areas | Jawline/jowls, double chin, cheeks, brows, face, neck, décolletage, abdomen, arms, thighs | Same |
| Heat | No | Yes |
| Downtime | None | Minimal |
| Sensation | Zaps that may cause warm, tingling sensations | Deep heat and energy pulses |
What Happens Before Treatment?
Your face is washed, makeup is removed and numbing cream is applied.
- The face is thoroughly washed and all makeup scrubbed off.
- Topical numbing cream is applied to the treated area to maximise comfort.
- Oral painkillers can be given to patients with lower pain thresholds.
Complementary Treatments
Ultherapy® Prime can be combined with other treatments, depending on your goals:
- Anti-wrinkle injections (BoNTA) for wrinkles and fine lines
- Dermal fillers for facial revolumisation
- RF microneedling with Erbium laser for pore reduction
Proven Ultherapy® Prime Results From Clinical Studies
Studies show measurable lifting and visible improvement in lines and wrinkles.
- Brow lift: An average 1.7mm lift after a single treatment, with a maximum of 1.9mm [4].
- Neck and skin lift: Tighter, lifted skin appears over 2-3 months and can keep improving up to 6 months.
- Décolletage lines and wrinkles: Visible improvement at 90 and 180 days after treatment [5, 6].
How to Choose a Clinic for Ultherapy® Prime in Singapore
1. Find a Merz Certified Clinic
Use the Official Clinic Locator to find authorised clinics. In Singapore and the Asia Pacific, Ultherapy® Prime is distributed by Merz Aesthetics (Singapore). Certified clinics include Amaris B. Clinic. You can also ask to see the distributor’s Certificate of Authenticity.
2. Check the Doctor’s Experience
Look for doctors trained in the “See Plan Treat” protocol.
- See: Visualise your skin anatomy and structure in real time.
- Plan: Tailor the ideal course of treatment.
- Treat: Achieve your skin lifting goals.
This approach lets the doctor visualise your skin composition live and plan around your needs. Doctors should also make immediate, critical adjustments to treatment depths for the face and neck, and to the 4 adjustable energy settings, during the session, to ensure safety and optimal results.
3. Check the Doctor’s Ability to Customise a Plan
The doctor should understand facial anatomy and map out a plan targeting different skin depths. They should be experienced in real-time ultrasound visualisation and know how to position the transducer precisely and control pressure to deliver consistent energy to the target layer [1, 2, 3].
4. Check the Device Is Authentic
Three checks confirm an authentic Ultherapy® machine:
- FDA-cleared “orange” authenticity sticker
- CE-marked certificate
- Real-time ultrasound visualisation. Counterfeit devices usually show only static images or looped generic footage.

FAQ
Can I just take collagen instead of Ultherapy® Prime?
No strong scientific evidence shows that collagen powders, drinks or pills make skin more supple or reverse sagging. Ingested collagen is broken down into amino acids, and there is no guarantee they reach your face or neck. Topical collagen molecules are too large to penetrate the skin, so they may hydrate temporarily but do not rebuild collagen in the dermis. Ultherapy® Prime uses focused ultrasound to reach the same deep layers targeted in a surgical facelift, creating microscopic thermal injury points that trigger the body’s natural wound-healing response and stimulate new collagen. It remains one of the few non-invasive treatments with published clinical evidence for collagen stimulation.
At what age does collagen loss accelerate in women?
Collagen loss begins gradually in the twenties but accelerates after menopause. On average, collagen levels drop 2.1% per year and skin thickness decreases 1.13% per year, for about 15-18 years after menopause [7]. One study found postmenopausal women had significantly lower collagen levels than premenopausal women [8]. Oestrogen protects collagen synthesis, so when it declines, skin becomes thinner, less elastic and more prone to sagging and wrinkles. This is why many women in their 50s and 60s notice sudden changes in laxity.
What are the benefits of Ultherapy® Prime for men?
Research indicates men prefer subtle enhancements that look rested and refreshed while preserving masculine features [9]. Ultherapy® Prime offers gradual, natural-looking improvement without downtime or an “operated” look.
How is male skin different?
- Men’s skin is about 25% thicker than women’s.
- Men have higher collagen density throughout life.
- Men have less subcutaneous fat, so sagging can look more pronounced.
- Men typically have stronger jawlines and brow bones, which makes subtle lifting more visible.
Thicker, collagen-rich skin responds well to ultrasound energy, so lifting can be noticeable along the jawline, chin and brow. It is worth considering for men in their 40s to 60s with a less sharp jawline, heavier brows or a loosening neck.
Are there financing options?
Yes. Many Singapore clinics, including Amaris B. Clinic, offer payment plans. Typical options are interest-free credit card instalments over 3, 6 or 12 months with participating banks (subject to approval), or outright payment.
How long do results last?
Results typically last 12-18 months, varying with your age, baseline collagen, skin quality and elasticity, lifestyle (sun exposure, smoking, diet) and menopausal status.
| Time after treatment | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Immediately | Some initial tissue contraction, not the final result |
| 2-3 months | New collagen forms; subtle lifting and tightening |
| 3-6 months | Results keep improving as collagen remodels |
| 6 months onward | Full effect visible |
What happens after 18 months?
Collagen stimulated by the treatment gradually breaks down, as your original collagen did. Many patients schedule touch-ups annually or every 18 months. Ultherapy® Prime does not stop ageing, but it significantly slows visible signs in treated areas.
