Hello.

This is Timeless Mapo Main Clinic, creating healthy beauty together with you.

“​​What if my cheeks become hollow after lifting?”

“I heard Ultherapy is painful. Will I be able to tolerate it?”

In fact, these side effects and pain often occur because the structures beneath the skin cannot be properly seen during treatment.

The device that addresses this limitation, allowing the inside of the skin to be viewed much more clearly while reducing the burden of side effects and pain, is

‘Ultherapy PRIME’!

Let me quickly explain the key improvements from a patient’s perspective compared with the previous Ultherapy device.

Please stay with me for just a moment :)

1. Ultrasound with greatly improved resolution, a difference in precision!

The biggest difference between the previous device and the upgraded Ultherapy PRIME is

‘the clarity of the ultrasound images’ and ‘the speed of energy delivery.’

Where the previous display could feel slightly hazy and blurry, the structures beneath the skin are now much clearer—almost like switching to a high-definition TV.

This difference in image quality creates a significant change during the actual treatment.

Because the skin thickness and the target layers where energy needs to be delivered can be accurately identified visually,

energy can now be delivered precisely only where it is needed.

In addition, energy is delivered more quickly, significantly shortening the overall treatment time.

With less time required for treatment, the burden of boredom and pain is also considerably reduced.

2. Reducing concerns about pain and cheek hollowing

Being able to see the inside of the skin clearly and directly during treatment

also means that the risk of side effects can be substantially reduced from the patient’s perspective.

When looking into Gongdeok lifting, one of the most common concerns is ‘cheek hollowing’ caused by fat loss.

Ultherapy PRIME delivers energy after accurately identifying the target layer while viewing the screen in real time.

This helps avoid stimulating unwanted areas and reduces the risk of cheek hollowing.

It can also be adjusted precisely according to each person’s skin condition and depth,

making excessive stimulation and the burden of pain felt during treatment much more manageable.

3. From thin skin around the eyes to a heavy-looking jawline, a customized approach for each area!

The thickness of the skin and the causes of sagging differ from one area of the face to another.

Ultherapy PRIME uses dedicated tips with various depths, making a fully customized ‘1:1 design’ for the entire face possible.

• 1.5 mm tip: It can delicately and safely treat the area around the eyes, where the skin is thin and sensitive and requires extra care.

• Tip for deeper layers: For a jawline or double-chin area that looks heavy due to concentrated fat, it can reach deeper to help refine the heavy appearance.

Because detailed treatment by area is now possible,

not only people with fuller facial contours but also those who hesitated to undergo lifting because of thin skin can establish an approach suited to their individual concerns.

4. The timing of natural changes and ongoing elasticity care

Ultherapy is not a treatment that dramatically changes the face immediately after the procedure.

Because it takes time for collagen to build up beneath the skin,

changes usually begin to appear gradually over the course of 1–2 months.

Although there are individual differences, the contours generally become most attractive and stable at around three months.

Thanks to the collagen that is formed, the effects generally last for more than one year.

Around the time elasticity begins to decline again,

receiving ongoing care approximately once a year as a preventive measure can help you maintain firmer-looking skin for much longer.

It is certainly a major advantage that the upgraded device allows treatment to be performed while viewing the structures beneath the skin more precisely.

However, no matter how advanced the device is, ‘who uses it, for which concerns, and how it is used’ is much more important.

Even with the same Gongdeok lifting treatment, it cannot be performed with the same number of shots and the same method for everyone.

That is why, during the consultation before treatment, we at Timeless always think first about what type of care this individual’s face needs most at this moment.

We want to create results that allow your face’s original atmosphere and contours to emerge naturally as time passes.

Thank you for reading this lengthy post today.

For results that you can remain satisfied with over time, we will continue with only the care that is truly necessary.
