What Has Changed in the Effects and Pain of Ultherapy Prime?

Hello. This is Lifton Dermatology.

In recent years, lifting seems to have gone beyond a simple beauty trend and become part of a regular care routine.

In particular, patients’ expectations for methods that can improve the skin precisely and naturally have also increased.

For medical professionals, this makes it more important than simply performing a procedure to design a safe and effective solution through equipment that allows accurate diagnosis and precise targeting tailored to each person’s skin condition. Ulthera has established itself as a 대표적인 device that enables this kind of precision.

Since our clinic focuses on lifting, Ulthera is something we cannot leave out.

In fact, inquiries about Ulthera come in several times a day, and the procedure accounts for a high proportion of our treatments, reaching an average of 4,800 to 7,200 shots per day.

In particular, interest from those considering lifting has increased even more with the recent introduction of Ulthera Prime, an upgraded version of the existing Ulthera.

Ulthera is a device that had not been updated for over 15 years since its launch in 2009.

As it is a renewal that took place after about 15 years, many people are curious about the changes, and from the perspective of actually performing the procedure, the differences are quite clear.

The changes patients notice first: Reduced time and pain

One of the biggest changes patients feel is that the procedure time has been shortened.

Because of Ulthera’s nature, it can take a somewhat long time and may involve pain. Ulthera Prime has a shorter touch drive time and a faster overall speed.

As a result, the time during which patients need to endure pain has been reduced.

The perceived pain has also been noticeably eased.

In fact, the manufacturer Merz also explains that pain has been reduced by about 20% to 30%, and patients who have received the procedure have shared positive feedback such as, “It was much more comfortable than before,” or “There was less pain.”

In addition, the distinctive buzzing sound has also been significantly reduced.

A quieter environment without bothersome noise throughout the treatment means you can receive lifting more comfortably, which is another improved benefit.

A major change felt by medical staff: Precision of the ultrasound screen

A major feature of Ulthera is that it is HIFU you can see while you treat.

Using DeepSee, Ulthera’s proprietary ultrasound imaging technology, the structure is checked in real time while energy is delivered precisely to the target layer.

Ulthera Prime has upgraded this DeepSee function to be even clearer and more precise.

Beyond the existing version’s ability to distinguish and treat the 4.5 mm, 3 mm, and 1.5 mm layers, it is now possible to clearly identify even deeper layers up to 8 mm.

This has made accurate treatment possible even for thick skin or cases with advanced signs of aging.

For medical staff performing the procedure, this makes treatment much easier. For patients, it can lead to improved treatment results.

Because many patients say it feels different from the Ulthera they had before, we also recommend that patients visiting Lifton Dermatology for Ulthera try Ulthera Prime.

Is Ulthera Prime always the right answer?

Of course, that does not mean we recommend Ulthera Prime for everyone.

For satisfactory results, the key is to carefully assess each patient’s skin thickness, elasticity, fat distribution, and skeletal structure, and then design the appropriate procedure.

At Lifton Dermatology, we carefully examine each person’s condition during the consultation process and recommend Ulthera Prime only when it is suitable. We do not force an increase in the number of shots or proceed with excessive energy.

We strive to design the treatment delicately with the appropriate amount of energy needed so that the results are natural yet highly satisfying.

What matters more than technology is an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

The advancement of device technology is welcome news for both medical staff and patients, but in the end, what matters most is finding the method that is right for you.

If you are concerned about reduced elasticity, we recommend first receiving an accurate diagnosis and sufficient consultation with a specialist.

We will help you regain your confidence in your skin with the right method and skilled technique.

Thank you.
