It seems the era of the overfilled face is waning. After a decade dominated by injectables and fillers, the focus is shifting to stimulating the skin’s own ability to regenerate. Instead of volume correction patients now want to look fresher and firmer, but – and this is the important part – still themselves.
Responding to that shift, Hortman Clinics, one of Dubai’s leading aesthetic destinations, has introduced a combined treatment protocol pairing Thermage FLX and Ultherapy PRIME: two collagen-stimulating technologies designed to work at different depths of the skin.
Rather than targeting only the surface, the dual approach addresses structural support and dermal texture, offering lift, firmness, and improved elasticity without surgery or downtime.
So what are they?
Ultherapy PRIME uses focused ultrasound energy to reach the SMAS layer – the same foundational layer addressed during surgical facelifts – stimulating collagen production deep within the skin’s support structure. This allows for gradual lifting and firming over time.
Thermage FLX, meanwhile, delivers radiofrequency energy to tighten existing collagen fibres in the dermis while encouraging new collagen formation. The effect is a smoother texture, improved elasticity and a more refined skin surface – sans surgery.
Together, the technologies create what clinicians call a layered rejuvenation, supporting the framework of the face while improving tone and resilience.
Results aren’t immediate; they develop gradually as collagen regenerates, providing a subtle lift along the jawline, cheeks, neck, and eye area that looks natural and restored.
Who is it for?
At Hortman Clinics, the emphasis is on precision and the patient’s own needs. Collagen-based technologies appeal particularly to patients with mild-to-moderate skin laxity who want structural support without undergoing surgery. There is no anaesthesia, no extended recovery period and no abrupt transformation, just progressive tightening and lifting as the skin rebuilds. For many, that slower, biologically driven improvement feels more aligned with modern beauty ideals: visible, but believable.
