[Raleigh, N.C.] November 5, 2025—Merz Aesthetics, the world’s largest dedicated medical aesthetics business, announced today the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance of Ultherapy PRIME to improve the appearance of skin laxity on the anterior arms, posterior arms and abdomen.
This is an exciting new development in an industry where the rapid pace of innovation can sometimes make it difficult for professionals to know what's readily available for them to incorporate into their businesses and what techniques they can formally train staff in.
The market's demand for full-body longevity solutions has led to the rise in popularity of treatments that incorporate electromagnetic energy and radiofrequency for burning fat and building muscle, while those who struggle with skin laxity are looking for treatments that will give them the results of aesthetic surgeries without the downtime; that's where Merz Aesthetics comes in.
Ultherapy PRIME
Ultherapy PRIME is the only FDA-cleared device with real-time visualization to treat the face, neck, décolleté and now body.
“This expanded FDA clearance is a testament to our unwavering commitment to advancing innovation that puts patients first,” said Patrick Urban, president of Merz Aesthetics North America. “Building on last year’s successful U.S. Ultherapy PRIME launch, we are extending this trusted, proven technology to address a gap in the market and meet customer and patient needs. With these new body indications, providers now have an advanced and trusted device to address the root cause of skin laxity and help achieve personalized firming in the arms and abdomen.”
Ultherapy PRIME follows Ultherapy, a household name in non-invasive skin lifting with over 3.5 million treatments performed globally and a 95% satisfaction rate.
By stimulating the body's own collagen and elastin production, Ultherapy PRIME lifts the brows, the skin under the chin and on the neck, smooths lines and wrinkles on the décolleté and now firms and tones the skin on the arms and abdomen in just one session with no downtime while remaining safe for all skin types.
Professionals should check their local regulation for accurate and up-to-date information on what licensure is required to administer certain services.
