Ulthera Prime + Fitting Lifting Difference? It’s Better to Receive Them Together. <feat. Ulthera Prime Fit>
Hello.
I’m Choi Won-woo, a dermatologist with 23 years of experience.
You may have looked in the mirror and suddenly had this thought.
“My jawline seems blurred, and my cheek fat seems to have dropped down..”
Many people think skin aging is simply a phenomenon of reduced elasticity.
But in reality, that is not all.
As time passes, the support structures inside the skin loosen, fat shifts position,
and the skin’s own elasticity decreases as well, so ‘changes occurring simultaneously in multiple layers’ are the essence of aging.

So when considering a lifting procedure, rather than simply asking, “Which device is better?”
it is important to first think about ‘how to improve the face’s multiple layers.’
This is because each device reaches different depths and works in different ways, so it is difficult for a single procedure to improve every layer.
So today, I’d like to explain ‘Ulthera Prime Fit,’ which uses two procedures that target different layers together: Ulthera Prime and Fitting Lifting.^^

Ulthera Prime targets the ‘deep layer.’
If you have looked into lifting procedures, you’ve probably heard the name Ulthera at least once.

Ulthera is a procedure that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy to stimulate the deep layers of the skin.
Its biggest feature is that it targets the SMAS layer, a fascial layer.
The SMAS layer connects the facial muscles and skin and serves as a kind of ‘support frame’ that holds up the facial contour.
When you are young, this structure remains firm, but over time it gradually loosens.

Then the following changes naturally appear.
Jawline becomes blurred
Sagging cheeks
Collapsed facial contours
Ulthera focuses ultrasound energy at a specific depth, much like concentrating light with a magnifying glass, creating thermal coagulation points. In this process, it contracts the tissue and induces lifting.
You can think of it as rebuilding the face’s collapsed support structure.
- Fitting Lifting focuses on tightening.
Fitting Lifting is a procedure that uses microwave energy and delivers heat energy to the slightly shallower fat layer and dermis than Ulthera.

The representative effects seen in this process are as follows.
Reduction of unnecessary fat
Tightening
Improved skin adherence
If Ulthera is the role of setting up the pillars of the face,
Fitting Lifting can be seen as the role of bringing the skin above them close to the framework and organizing the fit.
You can expect changes such as smoother skin texture and more defined facial lines, resulting in a more refined overall impression.
- Ulthera Prime Fit stimulates different layers at the same time.
The reason we recommend ‘Ulthera Prime Fit,’ which uses Ulthera Prime and Fitting Lifting together, is
because aging does not occur in just one layer.

The face is broadly made up of the following structures.
Skin surface
Dermis
Fat layer
Fascial layer (SMAS)
As aging progresses, changes appear in all of these layers at the same time.
Therefore, rather than trying to solve everything with just one procedure, combining approaches suited to each layer can lead to a more natural result.
So Ulthera Prime Fit first stimulates the SMAS layer with Ulthera to create structural lifting,
and then tightens the dermis and fat layer with Fitting Lifting on top of that.

If Ulthera draws the outline of the big picture with dots,
Fitting Lifting can be thought of as the process of filling in the spaces between those dots to complete the picture.
When energy that works at different depths comes together like this, you can expect synergy that goes beyond simply adding the two procedures together.^^
Of course, this combination is not necessarily needed for everyone.
Face shape
Skin thickness
Fat distribution
Degree of sagging
It is important to make the decision after sufficiently considering these factors and through a medical professional’s diagnosis.
In closing,
Lifting treatment is not something whose result is determined by the name of the device alone.
Even when using the same device, the naturalness of the result can vary depending on how deeply the facial structure is understood and planned.

Rather than following trending procedures,
it is important to first consider
what changes are currently appearing on my face,
which layer should be improved first,
and which combination can create the most natural result.
‘Ulthera Prime Fit,’ which combines Ulthera Prime and Fitting Lifting, is also a procedure studied from this perspective.
If you are considering lifting,
rather than deciding based only on the name of the procedure, I recommend checking through sufficient consultation what kind of design is right for your face.
Thank you for reading this long post.
