How many lines should Ulthera Prime be? There's no fixed number for everyone, since it depends on the area treated and each person's level of skin laxity. As a rough guide, the eye area usually starts around 100-150 lines, the cheeks around 300-500 lines, the jowls around 100-200 lines, and a full face plus jowls treatment is typically 600 lines or more. Your doctor will assess your skin in person and tailor the exact count to your case.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

First, What Exactly Is a \"Line\" in Ulthera Prime?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Before answering how many lines you should get, it helps to understand what a \"line\" actually means in Ulthera Prime. The Ulthera Prime device uses focused ultrasound (MFU-V) that delivers energy in tiny dot-like points, each about 1 millimeter, arranged in a row to form a dashed line roughly 2.5 centimeters long. That single row of dots is what's called 1 line.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

An important point many people get wrong is that 1 line is not the same as 1 energy point. In fact, a single line contains dozens of energy points in a row. The heat energy produced reaches down to the SMAS layer, the same tissue layer targeted in surgical facelifts, causing some immediate tightening and stimulating the body to produce new collagen and elastin over time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The words \"shot\" and \"line\" are sometimes used interchangeably, since people are more used to counting \"shots\" from laser treatments. Technically speaking, for Ulthera Prime, what's commonly called 1 shot is the same as 1 line.<\/strong>\u00a0Always ask the clinic to clarify whether the number they quote refers to lines or to individual points, so you don't end up thinking you're getting more than you actually are.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Because each area of the face differs in size and degree of skin laxity, the number of lines used is never the same across the board. Doctors assess each area individually, then combine them into a package suited to your face. The table below is a general guideline commonly used in the field.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
