Doctor-Performed Ultherapy PRIME, Tailored To The Individual
For patients seeking a subtle, structural approach to facial rejuvenation, Ultherapy PRIME offers a doctor-performed, non-surgical option for skin tightening and lift where clinically appropriate.
At Eleventh Heaven in Teneriffe, treatment is never delegated. Every Ultherapy PRIME procedure is performed personally by Dr Ricky Sia (MED0001887205), using real-time ultrasound visualisation to support precise, anatomy-aware treatment planning. This allows energy delivery to be tailored to the individual — commonly across the brow, lower face, jawline, under-chin area, neck, and décolletage where suitable.
For many patients, the goal is not to look altered. It is to look well, rested, and more like themselves on a good day — with treatment guided by judgement rather than trend.

What is Ultherapy PRIME?
Ultherapy PRIME is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to stimulate the body’s natural collagen response at targeted tissue depths. Unlike treatments that work primarily at the skin surface, Ultherapy PRIME is directed at deeper structural layers associated with support and lift.
The aim is not an immediate transformation, nor an overdone result. It is a gradual, natural-looking improvement in areas affected by early laxity, where a non-surgical approach may be appropriate.
At Eleventh Heaven, we see this as a treatment for patients who value precision, clinical judgement, and subtlety over pressure-style aesthetics or one-size-fits-all protocols.
Who it May Suit
Ultherapy PRIME may be appropriate for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who are seeking a noticeable but natural-looking refinement without surgery.
It may suit patients who:
- notice early softening along the jawline
- feel the brow sits heavier or less open than before
- have mild laxity beneath the chin or through the neck
- want to support skin structure before laxity becomes more advanced
- prefer a discreet, gradual result rather than a visible change
Suitability is assessed carefully during consultation. Where laxity is more advanced — or where volume loss or skin-surface concerns are the primary issue — a different treatment pathway may be more appropriate.
Areas Commonly Treated
Ultherapy PRIME can be planned for specific areas of concern where clinically appropriate, including:
Brow
For selected patients seeking a subtly more open, rested appearance.
Lower face and jawline
For early softening, reduced definition, or mild jowl formation.
Under the chin
For mild laxity beneath the jawline.
Neck
For patients concerned about early looseness or crepiness through the neck.
Décolletage
For selected concerns relating to skin texture and fine lines on the upper chest.
Why Real-time Imaging Matters
Real-time ultrasound visualisation is one of the defining features of Ultherapy PRIME — and one of the reasons it differs meaningfully from many standard ultrasound skin-tightening treatments.
Treatment planning at Eleventh Heaven is not based on surface appearance alone. During the procedure, Dr Ricky uses live visualisation to assess tissue layers directly and select the appropriate treatment depth for each individual. In practical terms, this supports a more considered, anatomy-specific approach than is possible without visualisation.
The technology matters. Just as importantly, so does the clinical judgement required to interpret what is seen on the screen in real time.
Why Doctor-Performed Treatment Matters
At Eleventh Heaven, Ultherapy PRIME is never performed by anyone other than Dr Ricky Sia.
Using ultrasound with live visualisation requires more than technical competence. It also requires clinical judgement: how anatomy is read, where treatment is placed, which depths are selected, and when delivery should be adjusted. These are decisions made in real time, by a doctor, throughout the procedure.
The value of this treatment lies not only in the technology, but in who is interpreting the image and directing the treatment. For patients who want to look well, rather than treated, that distinction matters.
Comfort, Downtime, and Recovery
A realistic understanding of what to expect is an important part of every consultation.
During treatment
Patients commonly describe brief sensations of heat, tingling, or energy pulses as treatment is delivered. Comfort varies according to the individual, the area being treated, and the depth selected. Options to support comfort are discussed beforehand.
After treatment
Many patients return to usual activities promptly. Temporary redness or flushing typically settles within a few hours. Mild swelling, tingling, tenderness, or sensitivity to touch can also occur, and may resolve over several days — or, in some cases, a little longer, depending on individual response.
Results Timeline
Ultherapy PRIME works with the body’s own regenerative process, which means change unfolds gradually.
Some patients notice an early sense of firmness in the treated areas, but the more meaningful improvements develop progressively over the weeks and months that follow. Results are often most visible at around 2 to 3 months, with continued evolution possible for up to 6 months after treatment.
Individual response, longevity, and maintenance needs vary from patient to patient.
Ultherapy PRIME v.s. Standard HIFU
Patients frequently ask how Ultherapy PRIME compares with standard HIFU treatments. The distinctions are worth understanding clearly.
Real-time visualisation
Ultherapy PRIME includes live ultrasound imaging during treatment. Many standard HIFU devices do not offer this, meaning treatment is delivered without direct visual confirmation of tissue depth.
Treatment planning
With real-time imaging, depth selection can be made according to actual anatomy and individual treatment goals, rather than relying on standardised settings alone.
Clinical oversight
At Eleventh Heaven, treatment is performed personally by Dr Ricky Sia, with live interpretation of the ultrasound image throughout.
Other ultrasound-based skin-tightening technologies exist and vary in how energy is delivered and which tissue levels are targeted. Where relevant, these distinctions can be explored during consultation. Eleventh Heaven works with Ultherapy PRIME specifically because real-time visualisation supports a more precise and considered treatment-planning process.
The Eleventh Heaven Approach
Eleventh Heaven is a doctor-led boutique clinic in Teneriffe, Brisbane, designed for patients who value precision, privacy, and an unhurried approach.
We do not rush treatment planning. We do not promise what cannot be responsibly delivered. We do not believe in pressure-style aesthetics. If your anatomy, degree of laxity, or goals are better served by a different pathway — whether that involves volume restoration, skin resurfacing, or surgical referral — this will be discussed openly, without pressure.
For many of our patients, the priority is not simply treatment. It is trust, discretion, personalised care, and the confidence that they will still look like themselves — just fresher, more rested, and more positive.
FAQs - Ultherapy PRIME in Brisbane
What is Ultherapy PRIME?
Ultherapy PRIME is a non-surgical treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound with real-time visualisation to stimulate the body’s natural collagen response, supporting gradual skin tightening and lift in treated areas.
Who performs Ultherapy PRIME at Eleventh Heaven?

Why does real-time imaging matter?
Real-time imaging allows tissue layers to be assessed during the procedure, supporting more precise depth selection and anatomy-specific planning rather than relying on surface assessment alone
Does Ultherapy PRIME replace a surgical facelift?
No. Ultherapy PRIME is a non-surgical option suited to selected patients with mild to moderate laxity. It does not replicate the degree of structural change achievable through surgery.
Who is a suitable candidate?
Suitable patients are generally those with mild to moderate skin laxity seeking a natural-looking, non-surgical improvement. Suitability — and whether Ultherapy PRIME is the right approach — is assessed during consultation.
What areas can be treated?
Commonly treated areas include the brow, lower face, jawline, under-chin area, neck, and décolletage, where clinically appropriate.
What does the treatment feel like?
Patients typically describe brief sensations of heat, tingling, or energy delivery during the procedure. Comfort varies between individuals and is discussed in advance.
What is the recovery like?
Downtime is often limited. Many patients return to usual activities promptly, although temporary redness, mild swelling, tingling, or tenderness can occur and typically settles within days.
When will I see results?
Results develop gradually. Improvements are often most noticeable at around 2 to 3 months, with continued change possible over the following months.
How long do results last?
Longevity varies according to the individual, the degree of laxity, skin quality, and the natural ageing process. Maintenance timing is discussed according to response and longer-term goals.
How does Ultherapy PRIME differ from standard HIFU?
The principal distinction is real-time ultrasound visualisation, which allows tissue depth to be confirmed and treatment to be more precisely planned during the procedure.
How much does Ultherapy PRIME cost in Brisbane?
Pricing depends on the areas treated, the scope of the treatment plan, and the number of ultrasound lines required. A tailored quotation is provided during consultation.
