Lifting & Tightening
Ultherapy PRIME in Seoul

QUICK ANSWER

Ultherapy PRIME is a micro-focused ultrasound treatment that lifts and tightens the brow, jawline, jowls and neck without surgery. At The Heal Jamsil, Dr. Yang maps the number and depth of lines to your face. It takes one session of 60–90 minutes, with no real downtime; results build over 2–3 months and typically last about a year.

How it works

Ultherapy PRIME delivers focused ultrasound energy to the SMAS layer (the same layer a surgeon tightens in a facelift) and to the deep dermis. Tiny heat points trigger new collagen while the skin surface is left intact.

Real-time ultrasound imaging lets the doctor see each layer before firing, so energy goes where it lifts rather than where it wastes volume.

Design Ulthera at The Heal: line counts and depths (4.5 mm, 3.0 mm, 1.5 mm) are planned around your age, skin thickness and facial contour, not a fixed package.

Who is it for?

  • Adults from their mid-30s with early to moderate sagging of the brow, cheeks, jowls or neck
  • Patients who want a lift without surgery or downtime
  • Travellers with only 1–2 days in Seoul

Not suitable during pregnancy, over active skin infection, or over metal implants in the treatment area.

Aftercare

  • Use gentle cleanser and moisturiser; SPF 50 daily
  • Avoid saunas, hot baths and intense exercise for 48 hours
  • Mild tenderness when chewing can last a few days

Frequently asked questions

Does Ultherapy PRIME hurt?

You feel brief heat and tingling at each pulse, strongest over bone. Topical numbing and adjusted energy keep it tolerable for most patients.

How many lines do I need?

It depends on skin thickness and laxity. Dr. Yang decides after examining you, rather than selling a fixed line count.

Can I combine it with Thermage FLX?

Yes. Ultherapy lifts deeper layers; Thermage tightens the skin surface. They are often done on the same day.

Is the device genuine?

The Heal uses genuine Ultherapy PRIME with authentic transducers. Ask to see the cartridge before treatment.
