Merz Aesthetics equipment: what to know before you buy
Merz Aesthetics, maker of Xeomin and Radiesse, owns Ulthera, the company behind Ultherapy. Our catalog covers Ultherapy PRIME, the current console, with a full profile. Its running cost is transducers, and its newer body indications depend on the console software, so confirm both in any quote.
Three checks before you buy
- Count transducer linesAsk how many treatment lines each transducer delivers and what replacements cost.
- Confirm the console and softwarePRIME is the newer console, and the abdomen, arm and knee indications came in 2025 and 2026. Confirm the software on any unit you buy.
- Plan comfort and trainingMicrofocused ultrasound can be uncomfortable, and rare burns and fat loss have been reported. Ask about training and pain-management protocols.

Lifting the brow and lax tissue under the chin and neck, improving décolleté lines, and, since 2025 and 2026, improving skin laxity on the abdomen, arms and knees.
Is Ultherapy better than Thermage?
A 2019 randomized split-face trial found them similar for laxity at six months. Compare running costs and local demand; see the Thermage FLX profile.
