Ultherapy X Prime Luminisce

<p>For over a decade, Ultherapy has been the undisputed gold standard in non-surgical skin lifting. Its ability to use focused ultrasound to naturally stimulate our deepest collagen reserves has made it a trusted ally against time and gravity. With over three million treatments performed worldwide, it set a benchmark for efficacy. But in the fast-evolving world of aesthetic technology, the question always remains: what&#x27;s next?</p><p>The answer, I discovered, is the <strong>Ultherapy X Prime</strong>, as it was unveiled at <strong>Luminisce</strong>, <strong>Dr. Kaycee Reyes</strong>’ renowned aesthetic clinic. Where I learned that it isn&#x27;t just an update; it&#x27;s an entirely new experience.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKOoVDJPN4z/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A4578765.300000001%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1107" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-6" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><strong>The Consultation: It’s All About You</strong></div><p>My journey began, as many do, with a mirror. In my early fifties, the reflection was beginning to show the subtle, yet undeniable, signs of gravity. A softening of the jawline, deepening nasolabial folds, and the emergence of jowls. My concerns were classic signs of aging.</p><p>During my consultation at Luminisce, these concerns were met not with a generic solution but with a meticulously curated plan. This is where the first distinction of the Ultherapy X Prime became clear. Dr. Kaycee Reyes, who recently consulted with the device&#x27;s inventors in Italy, explained the evolution. &quot;The efficacy of this machine compared to the old Ulthera is superior because the energy is more focused,&quot; she noted. This enhanced precision allows for treatment plans that are personalized, targeting problem areas with unparalleled accuracy.</p><p>Furthermore, the &quot;It&#x27;s all in the technique&quot; philosophy at Luminisce is evident. Dr. Reyes asserts, <strong>&quot;Even if you have the same machine, the technique is different. Our approach is based on years of experience and ongoing study.&quot;</strong> This made me more confident knowing that I am in good hands.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>The Treatment: A Two-Part Plan for Great Results</strong></div><p>For maximized results, my doctor recommended a personalized, two-part protocol. A signature approach at Luminisce.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-8" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DINi7waz67A/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A8%2C%22os%22%3A4789026.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1005" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-8" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Part 1: The Foundation with Exion </strong></div><p>We began with my “before” photo taken. Then we started with the Exion, a state-of-the-art radiofrequency machine. Applied to my cheeks, chin, and upper neck, this preparatory step helps to supplement the tightening and lifting around the jaw area, creating the perfect canvas for the main event.</p><div><strong>Part 2: The Main Event with Ultherapy X Prime </strong></div><p>After a topical anesthetic was applied, it was time for the star of the show. As the Ultherapy X Prime handpiece glided over my skin, I could watch the real-time imaging on the monitor, visualizing the deep foundational layers of my skin. This live feedback allows the dermatologist to deliver the ultrasound energy to the exact depth where it will be most effective, ensuring both precision and safety.</p><p>I felt a series of precise, warm pulses deep beneath my skin. The sensation varied, from barely perceptible to a tolerable, momentary sting in more sensitive areas like the jawline. Digital creator Lance de Ocampo, who also experienced the treatment, shared a similar sentiment. &quot;They know I have a very low pain tolerance,&quot; he admitted, &quot;but this time with Ulthera Prime, surprisingly, with the numbing cream, I felt practically nothing in most areas.&quot; This highlighted another key upgrade: the treatment is not only 20% faster but significantly more comfortable.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>The Celebrity Verdict</strong></div><p>The promise of a chiseled jawline and lifted skin has already attracted a discerning clientele. Veteran actor Troy Montero, whose outdoor lifestyle as a marathon runner takes a toll on his skin, was an early convert. Four months post-treatment, he&#x27;s a believer. &quot;It’s really effective right away,&quot; he shared. &quot;What’s nice for me is the area under my chin going to my neck. It felt hydrated immediately, but what’s most noticeable is my side view, my jaw.&quot;</p><p>For Lance de Ocampo, the results were a confidence booster. &quot;My cheeks and jawline are more defined. I’m not conscious if there’s a camera here and there because I really see the effects.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1751366742298SnapInsta.to_501653653_18510474583001903_7603575048521052952_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">Troy Montero, Dr. Kaycee Reyes, and Lance de Ocampo</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>After the Treatment: No Downtime, Just an Unfolding Result</strong></div><p>As soon as the final &quot;after&quot; photo was taken, I was ready to leave. There was truly no downtime as I drove myself home and returned to my daily routine.</p><p>My doctor had advised me to expect a lingering numbness, particularly around the jaw, which could last a few weeks. Rather than being alarming, she explained it&#x27;s a positive sign that the treatment has reached the correct foundational layers and the deep tissue is actively healing and regenerating. For me, this sensation lasted about four weeks, gradually fading each day. It was a quiet, reassuring reminder of the powerful work happening beneath the surface.</p><p>While the peak results famously reveal themselves at the three-month mark, I walked out of Luminisce with an immediate sense of firmness. Looking in the car&#x27;s rearview mirror, I could already see a subtle lift and more definition to my jawline. If this was the preview, I eagerly await the final reveal.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>A Word of Caution: How to Get the Real Deal</strong></div><p>In a market flooded with imitations, Dr. Reyes offers a crucial piece of advice. &quot;There are so many fake Ulthera machines out there,&quot; she warns, urging <strong>Merz Aesthetics</strong>, the creators of Ultherapy, to launch an awareness campaign to help patients distinguish authentic providers. To ensure you are receiving the real deal, always verify that your clinic is officially accredited by Merz.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Final Thoughts</strong></div><p>The Ultherapy X Prime at Luminisce is an investment in a future version of yourself. It proves that the gold standard can, get better, more precise, more comfortable, and more efficient. For those looking to turn back the clock without the surgery, the journey begins here.</p><div> </div><div><em>Book your appointment for Ultherapy X Prime at Luminisce </em><a href="https://luminisce.com/book-appointment/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>here</em></a><em> or contact (0977) 804 4601.</em></div><div><em>Editor&#x27;s Note: Salma Hayek is the new face of Ultherapy Prime.
