In the Netherlands, where people value natural beauty and minimalism, non-invasive skincare treatments are on the rise. One such treatment gaining traction in clinics like Medica Estetica is Ulthera (also known as Ultherapy Prime).
But does Ulthera actually work for lifting sagging skin and reversing aging signs without surgery? Let’s break it down clearly.
What is Ulthera / Ultherapy Prime?
Ulthera, branded as Ultherapy Prime in the Netherlands, is a non-surgical facelift alternative. It uses focused ultrasound energy to lift, firm, and tighten your skin especially around the jawline, neck, and eyebrows.
Unlike lasers or radiofrequency treatments that target the outer skin, Ulthera reaches the deep foundational layers the same depth targeted during surgical facelifts without cutting or damaging the surface.
How It Works (In Simple Steps)
- Ultrasound Scanning: Your provider uses real-time imaging to view deep skin layers.
- Precise Energy Delivery: Ultrasound energy is delivered exactly where needed up to 4.5 mm deep.
- Natural Collagen Boost: Your body starts producing more collagen and elastin.
- Gradual Lifting Effect: Over 2–3 months, skin becomes visibly tighter and lifted.
Areas Treated at Medica Estetica
- Jawline and jowls
- Neck and under-chin area
- Brow lifting
- Décolletage (chest lines)
- Nasolabial folds
- Eye area (fine lines and mild hooding)

Realistic Expectations: What Results Will You See?

- After 6 months: Ongoing collagen production keeps improving skin texture
Note: One treatment session is often enough, but some clients may benefit from a second session after a year.
Side Effects (Mild & Temporary)
Most people in the Netherlands tolerate Ulthera well. But here are some temporary side effects:
- Redness or mild swelling (few hours)
- Tingling or numbness in the area (1–2 days)

At Medica Estetica, the treatment is performed with top-grade ultrasound imaging for precision and safety.
