Latest Intention for USE Expands to Improve the Appearance of Skin Laxity on the Posterior and Anterior Arms and Abdomen, to launch in the United States before worldwide expansion.
Merz Aesthetics, the world’s largest dedicated medical aesthetics business, announced today the upcoming availability of UltherapyPRIMEto improve the appearance of skin laxity on the anterior arms and posterior arms, and abdomen.
Ultherapy PRIME is the only solution with integrated real-time visualization to treat the upper face, lower face, neck, décolleté, and now the body*.1 The new indications will launch in the United States before expanding to markets worldwide, with commercial rollout in EMEA planned for early 2026.** We are excited to share updates with our customers soon and look forward to supporting practices and patients with these innovative solutions.
“This indication expansion is proof of our incredible momentum, following last year’s successful Ultherapy PRIME launch.” said Bob Rhatigan, CEO, Merz Aesthetics. “By extending our reach from face*** to body*, we’re unlocking new treatment possibilities, meeting rising patient demand, and reinforcing our leadership in non-invasive skin lifting and tightening.”
Ultherapy PRIME builds on the legacy of Ultherapy®, which was recognized by a panel of experts as the Gold Standard in non-invasive skin lifting and tightening with over 3.5 million treatments performed§ globally and a 95% patient satisfaction rate.1-3 The skin lifting market is expanding rapidly and is expected to grow approximately 9% by 2030, driven largely by life stage (post-partum, menopause), and weight loss related skin laxity patient demographics.4
Ultherapy PRIME stimulates the body’s natural collagen and elastin production precisely where it’s needed. In just one session, Ultherapy PRIME lifts and tightens the upper face, lower face, neck, and décolleté. Now, Ultherapy PRIME also firms and tones the skin on the arms and abdomen – with no downtime and suitable for all skin tones1,5. It offers personalized, visible natural-looking results, along with younger looking skin, that can last up to a year or more on the face*** and 6 months or more on the arms and abdomen.4-7
“The Ultherapy PRIME platform offers all the signature benefits of Ultherapy for non-invasive skin lifting and tightening, plus the ability to improve skin laxity on the abdomen and arms in a single session,” said Dr. Sabrina Fabi, world-renowned Double Board-Certified Dermatologist and Dermatological Cosmetic Surgeon from San Diego, California. “This is of great value for my patients who want to keep the skin on their body looking as youthful as the skin on their face.”4,6,7
“These new indications for arms and abdomen* strengthen Ultherapy PRIME’s position as a multi-purpose skin lifting, tightening, and firming treatment solution,” said Alexis Stern, Chief Marketing Officer, Merz Aesthetics. “This exciting journey started a year ago when we launched Ultherapy PRIME as a platform to lift the face*** and with this next phase of growth for the platform we are now able to firm and tone the body.”*,1,6
