The procedure uses equipment approved by the KFDA and the US FDA, ensuring proven safety.
Ultherapy Prime
Ultherapy Prime, also known as Ulthera Prime, is a device that implements the excellent effects of the existing Ulthera with greater precision and safety by applying the latest HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) technology. Ulthera Prime shares the principle of focusing the ultrasound energy of the existing Ulthera to induce a thermal coagulation effect up to the SMAS layer, and is characterized by the ability to precisely control the energy according to various skin thicknesses and areas by utilizing an upgraded ultrasound screen.
The lifting effect gradually increases after the procedure and lasts up to 1 year.
This procedure corrects both the reduction of collagen fibers and the weakening of the SMAS layer due to aging.
Ulthera VS Ultherapy Prime
💡 Transducer Frequency
Ulthera: Used standard transducers to adjust treatment depth, but had limitations on thin areas.
Ultherapy Prime: Uses a 7MHz high-frequency transducer to precisely target sensitive skin layers, allowing confident treatment on thin areas like around the eyes or forehead.
📍 Treatment Areas
Ulthera: Focused mainly on the center of the face, often limited to the jawline and cheekbones.
Ultherapy Prime: Expanded to include the forehead, around the eyes, mouth, neck, and décolleté, allowing care for wider and more delicate areas.
⏱️ Treatment Time
Ulthera: Approximately 60 minutes, which could feel somewhat lengthy.
Ultherapy Prime: Improved flow reduces treatment time to about 30-45 minutes, making it convenient even for busy schedules.
📄 Clinically Approved Areas
Ulthera: Approved for use on the face, with limited application range.
Ultherapy Prime: Secured U.S. FDA clinical approval for not only the face but also décolleté wrinkle improvement, enhancing the credibility of cosmetic procedures.
Principle of Procedure
Ulthera's patented real-time ultrasound imaging technology (DeepSee™) allows visualization of the patient's skin depth and structure, delivering high-intensity ultrasound energy precisely to the SMAS layer beneath the skin surface (1.5mm, 3mm, 4.5mm) without damaging the skin surface, coagulating and contracting the tissue. It accurately delivers fine heat at the optimal temperature of 60~70 ºC for new collagen production and regeneration to the set depth within the skin, regularly creating micro thermal coagulation points (TCP), and induces an immediate lifting effect through collagen coagulation, denaturation, and contraction at the thermal coagulation points (TCP). Subsequently, as the thermal coagulation area regenerates, the skin tightens, stimulating the growth of new collagen, leading to long-term collagen resynthesis and rearrangement, completing a natural youthful lifting.

Cautions
It is recommended to take antioxidants such as vitamin C after the procedure.
It is recommended to avoid peeling or using scrub products for one week after the procedure.
Light washing and makeup application are possible after the procedure, and the use of a hypoallergenic cleanser is recommended.
If you continue to feel a stinging sensation or develop blisters after the procedure, please contact your hospital.
To prevent pigmentation, it is recommended to thoroughly apply moisturizer and sunscreen after the procedure.
It is recommended to avoid drinking, smoking, saunas/steam rooms, hot baths, and strenuous exercise for 7 days after the procedure.
To ensure that the ultrasound heat in the skin is effectively maintained, we recommend washing your face with lukewarm water for 3 days after the procedure.
Depending on the individual, temporary skin stinging, slight swelling, bruising, or redness may occur.
In rare cases, white stripes may occur. If you experience this symptom, please contact your hospital.
