Ulthera / Ultherapy Transducers
About Ulthera transducers
Ulthera transducers are single-use micro-focused ultrasound cartridges designed for use with the Merz Aesthetics Ulthera and Ultherapy systems. Each transducer combines focused ultrasound energy delivery with DeepSEE real-time imaging at a specific tissue depth, allowing the practitioner to see the target plane before energy is applied. In November 2025, Merz Aesthetics announced an FDA clearance expanding Ultherapy PRIME for skin laxity treatment on anterior arms, posterior arms, and abdomen with real-time imaging. For clinics running Ultherapy protocols, transducer supply is one of the few inventory items where running out cancels procedures outright.
What's included in this collection
The collection covers three Ulthera transducer configurations matched to the standard DeepSEE imaging depths used in Ultherapy protocols. Variants cover superficial dermal targeting for fine lines, mid-depth targeting used in most facial protocols, and deeper targeting used for the SMAS layer in lift-focused treatments. Each transducer has a fixed focal depth and treatment line count, matched to a specific protocol use case.
Compatibility
All transducers in this collection are designed for use with the Merz Aesthetics Ulthera and Ultherapy systems, including the Ultherapy and Ultherapy PRIME platforms in the US market. Transducers are depth-specific and are not interchangeable across imaging planes. Each product page lists the exact focal depth and compatible system generation in the title and description, so verify before adding to cart. Compatibility data reflects standard clinical use and supplier specifications; verify against your specific device generation before ordering.
Ultherapy transducer comparison
The three transducer configurations differ in focal depth and the tissue plane they target.
| Transducer | Focal depth | Target tissue | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS 1.5 mm | 1.5 mm | Superficial dermis | Fine lines, decollete protocols |
| DS 3.0 mm | 3.0 mm | Mid-depth dermis | Standard facial Ultherapy protocols |
| DS 4.5 mm | 4.5 mm | SMAS layer | Lift-focused protocols, brow and jowl work |
How to choose Ulthera transducers
Selection depends on which protocol the transducer supports, not on cost-per-unit alone:
- Protocol matching: A full-face Ultherapy treatment typically uses two or three different focal depths. Buying only the deepest or only the most superficial leaves you unable to complete a standard protocol.
- System generation: Verify the transducer is rated for your Ultherapy generation. The Ultherapy PRIME platform expanded its FDA-cleared indications in November 2025; older systems may have different transducer rating sheets.
- Treatment line counts: Each transducer has a finite number of treatment lines per cartridge. Practices running back-to-back protocols should keep more than one of the high-use depths (typically 3.0 and 4.5 mm) on hand.
- Expiration buffer: Sterile single-use transducers have a stated expiration date. Pinova ships same or next business day from our US warehouse, which lets practices order to actual scheduled volume rather than overstocking ahead of expiration.
Why buy from Pinova
Every Ulthera transducer in this collection is professionally sourced and ships in its original sealed packaging. The expiration date and lot code are listed on each product page before checkout, so both can be verified before ordering. Orders placed before 2 PM EST typically ship the same business day from our US warehouse, with international shipping available on request. For practices comparing related non-surgical skin-tightening consumables, you can also browse our broader HIFU cartridges and transducers selection.
Frequently asked questions
Are these genuine Merz Aesthetics Ultherapy transducers?
Genuine/original status is verified per SKU and shown on each product page. All Ulthera transducers Pinova sells are professionally sourced consumables, with packaging condition, expiration date, and lot code visible before checkout. Where a product is OEM-style rather than Merz-original, this is clearly indicated on the product page.
What's the difference between the 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm transducers?
The number refers to the focal depth in millimeters from the skin surface. The 1.5 mm transducer targets superficial dermis for fine-line work. The 3.0 mm targets mid-depth dermis for standard facial protocols. The 4.5 mm targets the SMAS layer for lift-focused treatments. Most full-face Ultherapy protocols use two or three different depths.
Which Ulthera system generations are these transducers compatible with?
The transducers are designed for use with the Ulthera and Ultherapy systems, including the latest Ultherapy PRIME platform sold in the US. Verify the specific generation rating on each product page before ordering, since not every transducer SKU is rated for every system year.
How many treatment lines does each transducer deliver?
Each transducer has a finite, depth-specific treatment line count printed on the cartridge and listed on its product page. Once the cartridge reaches its line limit it must be replaced; transducers cannot be reused across patients. Plan inventory around scheduled procedure volume rather than buying single units ad hoc.
