In aesthetic medicine, the moment after a procedure is often the least discussed. The treatment itself is precise, clinically guided, and sophisticated. What follows, however, is less defined. Often, patients leave with visible results, but little clarity on how to protect and extend them in the days and weeks following the treatment.
It is this gap that Merz Aesthetics addresses with the launch of the Ultherapy Mask – PDRN Peptide Radiance. More than a standalone product, it represents a shift towards continuity of care, bringing the clinical standards of Ultherapy PRIME beyond the treatment room and into daily routines.
The mask also marks the debut of the MERZ Aesthetics Care Range (MERZ AxC), a new category of purpose-built skincare designed to bridge in-clinic procedures with at-home maintenance. In doing so, it reframes post-procedure care not as an afterthought, but as an integral part of the treatment journey.
This positioning is closely tied to the legacy of Ultherapy PRIME, long regarded as a benchmark in non-invasive skin lifting. Known for its use of Microfocused Ultrasound with Visualization (MFU-V), the treatment has set a standard for precision and efficacy. The Ultherapy Mask extends that same philosophy, translating clinical intent into a format suited for personal skincare rituals.
At its core is a formulation designed to support recovery while reinforcing results. A combination of PDRN derived from salmon DNA and a multi-peptide complex works to support skin elasticity¹ and healing. Meanwhile, five types of hyaluronic acid deliver layered hydration².
What's more, niacinamide helps strengthen the skin barrier³, while adenosine⁴ supports smoother, more refined skin texture⁵. Rather than overwhelming with complexity, the formulation is built around a clear objective: To soothe sensitised skin while helping it recover and perform better over time.
Constructed from hydrogel, the mask delivers an immediate cooling effect⁶, reducing skin temperature upon application and offering relief to post-treatment sensitivity. Its three-piece design allows it to contour more precisely to the upper face, lower face, and neck, minimising air gaps and ensuring more consistent delivery of active ingredients.
Clinical testing reinforces its role as both a recovery and maintenance solution. Users can expect immediate soothing and hydration, alongside measurable improvements in skin moisture², barrier strength³, and elasticity¹ over time. The mask, which is dermatologically tested and free from fragrance, alcohol, and parabens, is designed to be used even on sensitised skin, even immediately after procedures (results may vary depending on individual skin condition).
In addition, the Ultherapy Mask is not limited to post-treatment use. It has been developed as a dual-purpose product, suitable both as a complement to procedures like Ultherapy PRIME and as a periodic addition to a regular skincare routine. Used on the same day as treatment and continued at intervals thereafter, it maximises aesthetic treatment results, while elevating personal skincare ritual.
This duality reflects a broader shift in how aesthetic treatments are understood. No longer confined to a single appointment, results are increasingly seen as something to be maintained and optimised over time. In this context, the Ultherapy Mask functions less as an accessory and more in as an extension of the treatment itself.
As Merz Aesthetics expands into this new category, the message is clear: Clinical excellence does not end when the procedure does. With the introduction of MERZ AxC, the brand is building a more complete ecosystem, one that supports patients not only in achieving results, but in sustaining them.
