The Short Answer
What is Ultherapy Prime?
Ultherapy Prime is a non-surgical lifting treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound with real-time imaging. The physician can see the skin layers on screen and place energy at a precise depth — including the SMAS, the same supporting layer that is tightened in a surgical facelift — without any incisions or stitches.
The heat causes an immediate contraction of collagen and starts a longer process of collagen and elastin renewal. Firming and lifting usually develop over 1–3 months, and results often last 12–18 months or longer with good care.

FAQ
Ultherapy Prime in Seoul: frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Ultherapy and Ultherapy Prime?
Ultherapy Prime is the newer generation of the Ultherapy system. It keeps the same micro-focused ultrasound approach with real-time imaging, so the physician can see the skin layers while treating.
How many sessions of Ultherapy Prime do I need?
Most patients need one session. Lifting develops over 1–3 months. Maintenance once or twice a year helps prolong the result.
How long do results last?
Results often last 12–18 months or longer, depending on your age, skin and lifestyle. Good sun protection and skincare help maintain them.
Does Ultherapy Prime hurt?
You may feel short bursts of heat or a prickling sensation, especially over bony areas. Numbing cream is applied and energy is adjusted to your comfort.
Is there downtime?
Downtime is minimal. Mild redness, swelling or tenderness can occur and usually settles within hours to a few days. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
Can I fly after Ultherapy Prime?
Yes, most patients can fly the next day. Avoid saunas, strong heat and heavy exercise for 24–48 hours.
Is Ultherapy an alternative to a facelift?
Ultherapy Prime can lift mild to moderate sagging, but it does not give the same result as surgery. For more advanced laxity, a physician may discuss a facelift
or other options.
Ultherapy Prime or Thermage FLX — which should I choose?
Ultherapy targets deeper layers for lifting, while Thermage FLX
focuses on tightening and smoothing the skin. Many patients combine the two. Your physician will advise after assessing your face.
Do you have English-speaking staff?
