MAKATI CITY — Makati Medical Center is bringing advanced non-invasive aesthetic care closer to patients with the introduction of Ultherapy Prime, a next-generation ultrasound treatment designed to lift and tighten the skin. The technology is now available at the hospital’s Skin and Laser Hub, located within the MakatiMed Wellness Hub at Ayala North Exchange. By offering the procedure in a physician-led medical setting, MakatiMed aims to provide patients with access to aesthetic treatments supported by clinical research, precision technology, and professional medical guidance.
Science Behind Non-Surgical Skin Lifting
Ultherapy Prime uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to target three layers of the skin, including the sub-dermis and SMAS, the fibrotic layer involved in surgical facelift procedures. According to Dr. Ma. Lourdes Aragon de Veyra, head of the Skin and Laser Hub, the technology is designed to deliver energy precisely while maintaining a strong safety profile, with more than 50 clinical studies supporting the treatment. The ultrasound energy stimulates the body’s natural collagen-production process, allowing improvements to develop gradually over the months following treatment. A typical session takes about one hour and involves little to no downtime, allowing patients to resume their usual activities soon afterward.
More Comfort and Personalized Treatments
Ultherapy Prime also introduces improvements intended to enhance the overall treatment experience. The updated system features a larger, clearer screen for improved visualization, shorter treatment times, and significantly enhanced patient comfort. Treatment plans can also be adjusted according to individual concerns, including addressing the appearance of a double chin or targeting broader areas for facial rejuvenation. Dr. Jose Giovanni Dimayuga, assistant section head of the Skin and Laser Hub, likened the procedure to a “non-surgical facelift,” offering an option for patients who want skin-lifting results without undergoing surgery.
