Ultherapy PRIME
Ultrasound lifting that reaches the SMAS layer

It works by focusing high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) down to the SMAS layer beneath the skin, creating small points of thermal coagulation. The heated tissue contracts, and as new collagen forms afterward, support develops that lifts sagging tissue. Because treatment is delivered while checking the layers on an ultrasound screen, the depth is adjusted to each person's skin thickness.

We consider it for those whose jawline, cheeks, or brow line have started to sag, or who are bothered by a double chin and want to manage it without surgery. If sagging is already severe, non-surgical treatment alone has limits, and we will tell you honestly at consultation. It is not recommended if you have an implanted electronic medical device such as a pacemaker, have metal implants, infection, or wounds in the treatment area, or are pregnant.

Because energy reaches deep layers, there is a noticeable sensation, and how much you feel differs from person to person. Topical numbing cream is standard, and sedation support is also considered when needed. The treatment is performed directly by a board-certified dermatologist, who adjusts the intensity while watching your pain response.

It takes about 40-60 minutes depending on the number of shots. Since the visit also includes consultation, topical numbing, and soothing care after treatment, your time at the clinic will be longer than this. We recommend allowing plenty of time in your schedule.

Yes, you can return to daily life on the day of treatment, and you can wash your face and wear makeup. However, temporary swelling, tingling, or a muscle-ache-like sensation may continue for a few days.

Rather than right after treatment, results appear gradually over 2-3 months as collagen regenerates. Results typically last 6 months to 1 year, and the degree and timing of change vary by individual.

About 1 session per year is recommended. Rather than repeating on a fixed date, we evaluate the progress from your previous treatment and then decide the timing and extent of the next one.

We do not apply a set number of shots uniformly; it is decided after consultation according to the area, skin thickness, and degree of sagging. Because shots are allocated by area while viewing the layers on the ultrasound screen, the distribution may differ from person to person even for the same area.

It depends on which layer the sagging comes from. Ultherapy PRIME is relatively better suited to sagging of the SMAS layer, and Thermage FLX to dermal firmness and fine lines. After consultation we recommend the device that matches the layer, and the two are sometimes planned together.

Because their goals differ, they are sometimes planned together. Where Ultherapy PRIME lifts sagging tissue, Juvelook Volume addresses collagen production in hollow areas, and Botox addresses concerns related to muscle movement. Whether to do them on the same day or space them apart is decided after consultation, along with the order.

Temporary swelling or tingling may occur, and bruising or temporary reduced sensation may rarely occur. For a few days after treatment, avoid strong heat such as saunas, jjimjilbang (Korean bathhouses), and heavy drinking, and apply sunscreen of SPF30 or higher daily while collagen regenerates. If symptoms persist or worsen, please contact the clinic.

The cost depends on the area and number of shots, so it is confirmed after consultation, and reference prices can be found on the price list on our website.
