The short answer

What is Ultherapy Prime, and is it right for you?

Ultherapy Prime is the newest version of Ultherapy, a non-surgical lifting treatment using micro-focused ultrasound. It delivers heat to the deep skin layers and the SMAS (the layer surgeons tighten in a facelift), which triggers new collagen and a gradual lift. Built-in ultrasound imaging lets the doctor see the tissue layers while treating.

At YAAN Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, it is used for jowls, a soft jawline, drooping brows, cheek laxity and neck looseness. Most people need one session, results build over 2–3 months, and pricing starts at ₩1,500,000 for 300 shots.

Honest suitability

Who Ultherapy Prime suits, and who it doesn't

We would rather tell you what you don't need. These are general guides; your doctor confirms suitability after examining you.

Often a good fit

  • Mild to moderate sagging of the jawline, jowls or cheeks
  • Brow heaviness or hooding from lax skin
  • Loose skin under the chin and on the neck
  • People who want lifting without needles, incisions or downtime
  • Maintenance lifting in the 30s to 60s

Probably not the first choice

  • Very heavy sagging or excess skin, where surgery may help more
  • Mainly surface texture or acne scars, where Potenza fits better
  • Mainly volume loss, where skin boosters or fillers may suit
  • Very thin faces, where heat to fat layers is not wanted
  • Pregnancy, open wounds or active infection in the area
How it works

Ultrasound, delivered with precision

The Ultherapy Prime device with real-time ultrasound imaging

Ultherapy Prime focuses ultrasound energy into tiny heated points beneath the skin, leaving the surface untouched.

Deep lifting layer: the 4.5 mm depth targets the SMAS, the fibrous layer that supports facial structure.

Dermal layers: 3.0 mm and 1.5 mm depths target the dermis for firmness and fine lines.

Live imaging: the doctor sees the skin layers on screen and places each line of energy accurately. New collagen then forms over the following months. Compare it with classic Ultherapy and budget HIFU such as Shurink Universe.

Your visit

The Ultherapy Prime procedure step by step

Plan on about 2 hours at the clinic in Gangnam, including consultation and comfort care.

  1. Consultation & mapping

    A doctor assesses laxity and marks treatment zones. You agree the shot count and price in English.

  2. Comfort care

    Numbing cream is applied. Ask about additional pain relief options before treatment.

  3. Ultherapy Prime treatment

    The doctor treats line by line using live ultrasound imaging. A full face takes about 60–90 minutes.

  4. Aftercare

    Mild redness fades within hours. You receive written aftercare and can return to normal activities.

Recovery & results

What to expect, week by week

Lifting is gradual because it depends on new collagen.

  • Day 0–3

    Mild redness, swelling or tenderness along the jaw is common. Some people notice temporary sensitivity when touching the area.

  • Week 1–4

    Any tenderness settles. An early tightening may be noticed.

  • Month 2–3

    The main lift becomes visible as collagen rebuilds.

  • Up to 1 year

    Results typically last around a year, depending on age and skin. Many people repeat yearly.
