Used Ultherapy for Sale: Current Listings, Used Price Range and What to Check

A used legacy Ultherapy is listed at $5,995 to $26,000 as of November 2026, across 14 listings of 2012 to 2021 units.

The low end is a 2012 Ulthera with a 2018 UH2 DeepSEE handpiece and 4 transducers, listed at $5,995 by a dealer.

The high end is a 2013 Ulthera with a DeepSEE handpiece and cart, listed at $26,000.

Year doesn't track price closely: one 2021 Ulthera is listed at $9,900, and a 2021 Ulthera UC-1 is listed at $17,995.

The 2024 Ultherapy PRIME listed at $99,899 is a different generation, so read it apart from the legacy prices in the table above.

A dealer also listed a 2025 Ultherapy PRIME under manufacturer warranty at $57,975, but that unit is now out of stock.

Merz's July 1, 2026 terms require a non-refundable $10,000 deposit or approved financing to secure each new Ultherapy PRIME purchase.

Ultherapy has two generations: the legacy Ulthera System (2009) and Ultherapy PRIME (2024).

Used listings name the legacy system as Ulthera, Ultherapy or Merz Ulthera, so search all three names.

Merz says it will transition away from the legacy Ultherapy device, with full service and support concluding on September 30, 2027.

That date sits inside the working life of any legacy unit you buy now, so price it in.

Ultherapy is a focused ultrasound system that pairs treatment with real-time ultrasound imaging through its DeepSEE transducers.

The 8 mm figure is how deep the DeepSEE transducer can image, not how deep it treats.

Ultherapy is one of the systems priced side by side in the used HIFU and focused ultrasound price list that includes Ultherapy.

Merz does not publish a transfer or recertification fee for a used Ultherapy, as of its US terms dated September 15, 2026.

The same terms state that Merz prohibits the re-sale, rental or leasing of its products, including Ultherapy systems.

Merz grants each buyer a nontransferable personal software licence, so the licence does not pass to a second owner without Merz's written authorization.

Under those terms, an unauthorized sale or transfer voids any warranty or service contract in effect, and Merz may refuse to sell future products to the customer.

Merz says it is the only authorized service provider for Ultherapy equipment, and using another service provider voids all warranties and service contracts.

Merz's terms also say products refurbished by or bought from parties other than Merz are not FDA-cleared in Merz's view; that is Merz's contractual position, not an FDA finding.

Ask Merz for written authorization and any fee in writing before you send a deposit.

Check five things on a used Ultherapy: transducer lines and expiry, control unit model, handpiece year, Merz's position on the transfer and the seller.

1. Transducer lines and expiry: listings state lines left and an expiry date, such as a DS 10-1.5 with 1,865 lines left that expired 9/24.
2. Control unit model: confirm whether it is a legacy unit (such as a UC-1) or a PRIME control unit, because Merz ends legacy support on September 30, 2027.
3. DeepSEE handpiece year: some older consoles ship with a newer handpiece, such as a 2012 Ulthera with a 2018 UH2 DeepSEE handpiece.
4. Merz authorization: the software licence and warranty are nontransferable, so get Merz's answer in writing.
5. Seller and origin: skip "Ultherapy PRIME" listings at a few thousand dollars from overseas exporters, because their copied marketing text and prices point to replicas.

Each Ultherapy treatment uses transducers, which are rated in lines and carry an expiry date.

One dealer lists sealed DeepSEE transducers "NEW w/ 2400 lines" at $2,965 each, in listings published January 2024.

Another dealer lists a DS 7-3.0 transducer described as "New. Expired" at $1,800.

A 2019 Ultherapy system listing states 3 to 4 treatments per transducer.

An expired DS 10-1.5N transducer with 1,583 lines remaining is listed at $790.

Merz's terms cover its transducers along with its systems, and they prohibit resale, so third-party transducers carry the same risk as a third-party system.

Transducer cost per treatment decides margin, so compare it with how other devices' consumables stack up against Ultherapy transducers before you buy.

The Ulthera System's latest 510(k), K260618 of May 21, 2026, lists these indications:

• lifting the eyebrow
• lifting lax submental and neck tissue
• improving lines and wrinkles of the décolletage
• improving the appearance of skin laxity on the abdomen, arms and knees

This list comes from the May 2026 clearance, so ask which control unit and software a listing carries.

A complete used Ultherapy system includes the control unit, a DeepSEE handpiece, transducers, the power cord and, on some legacy units, a cart.

Merz's warranty covers the control unit, handpiece and power cord.

Listings vary: the 2024 PRIME listed at $99,899 includes 7 transducers and a manual, while the $5,995 legacy unit includes 4 transducers.

Ask for the number of transducers, the lines left on each and their expiry dates before you compare two asking prices.

Ultherapy is a prescription device under 21 CFR 801 Subpart D, so ask the seller which license or medical director they require before you buy.

Ultherapy is a Class II device, so it is FDA-cleared, not FDA-approved.

The closest alternatives to a used Ultherapy are Sofwave, Thermage FLX and Ultherapy PRIME, each shown here with a single US asking price as of November 2026.

A Sofwave system is listed at $64,899, and its tips and fee are on our used Sofwave page as an Ultherapy alternative.

A 2021 Thermage FLX is listed at $64,950.

A 2024 Ultherapy PRIME is listed at $99,899.

A single asking price is not a price range, so treat these as single data points.

Ultraformer III has no FDA 510(k) clearance, so it is not a like-for-like alternative for a US clinic.
