Gangnam Ulthera Prime Effect: How Is It Different from a Regular Ulthera Procedure? - Dermatology Specialist in Samseong-dong image 1

Hello. We are Chang Dermatology Clinic, your beauty partner dedicated to protecting youthful and healthy skin.

There are moments when your skin feels like it is sagging overall, or when your facial contours seem less defined than before.

At times like these, many people consider a lifting procedure that can reach deeper layers of the skin rather than simple care alone.

In particular, as interest in more precise ultrasound lifting devices has recently increased, the number of people looking for Gangnam Ulthera Prime has also been rising.

Today, we will organize what to look at, focusing on the structure and features of Ulthera Prime.

How does Ulthera Prime work?

Ulthera Prime uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver energy deep into the skin.

As the ultrasound energy is concentrated at a single point, thermal coagulation points are formed, and this process induces collagen regeneration.

In particular, it is characterized by the ability to target not only the dermis but also the SMAS layer, which supports skin elasticity.

This deep-acting approach is one of the reasons Gangnam Ulthera Prime is mentioned as a lifting procedure.

What has changed compared with the existing Ulthera?

Ulthera Prime can be understood as a version with further enhanced precision based on the existing device.

Most notably, improved ultrasound image resolution allows the internal skin structure to be seen more clearly.

It also allows visualization to a maximum depth of about 8 mm, enabling a detailed approach tailored to each individual's skin thickness.

This ability to perform the procedure "while looking" is an important differentiating factor of Gangnam Ulthera Prime.

How is the procedure carried out?

Ulthera Prime is not simply about delivering energy; it is characterized by a step-by-step process while checking the skin condition.

It is performed by checking the skin layers through real-time ultrasound imaging and adjusting the depth and energy accordingly.

In general, the procedure is carried out sequentially using tips suited to various depths, such as the dermis, fat layer, and fascia layer.

This customized process serves as an important standard in Gangnam Ulthera Prime procedures.

What changes can you expect?

Ulthera Prime is a procedure in which you can expect both immediate changes and gradual changes over time.

Right after the procedure, the skin may feel tighter, and then collagen production gradually increases over 1 to 3 months.

During this process, improvements may appear in skin elasticity, wrinkles, and facial contour refinement.

This natural progression of change can be considered a characteristic of Gangnam Ulthera Prime.

What areas can be considered for treatment?

Ulthera Prime can be considered for various areas, including the overall face as well as the eye area, jawline, and cheeks.

In particular, it is characterized by its ability to approach even the thin and sensitive eye area in detail.

In addition to the face, some people also consider applying it to certain body areas, so its range of use is relatively broad.

In this way, because it can be approached according to the characteristics of each area, Gangnam Ulthera Prime can be adjusted for use according to a variety of concerns.

Who may want to consider it?

For those who want a gradual rather than dramatic change, it may be worth considering Ulthera Prime.

What is important in post-procedure care?

After the procedure, it is important to minimize skin irritation.

It is best to avoid environments that can raise skin temperature, such as saunas, jjimjilbangs, and strenuous exercise, for a certain period.

In addition, alcohol and smoking may affect the recovery process, so caution is needed.

Basic care, such as maintaining moisture and using sunscreen consistently, should also continue.

Also, after the procedure, maintaining adequate hydration and a regular lifestyle may help keep the skin condition stable.

Treatment by six dermatology specialists based on more than 20 years of experience

Our clinic operates a system in which six dermatology specialists provide treatment together, based on more than 20 years of experience.

We comprehensively consider each person's skin thickness, elasticity, and facial structure to determine a direction within a reasonable range.

Rather than recommending excessive procedures, we take a care-centered approach that matches the current condition, and we pay close attention so that consultations can take place in a comfortable environment.

This treatment process is an important standard for carrying out Ulthera Prime procedures more stably.

What criteria should be considered before choosing a procedure?

Ulthera Prime is a procedure that precisely approaches the deep layers of the skin and induces collagen regeneration.

Rather than being simply one procedure for lifting, Ulthera Prime is characterized by its approach of checking the structure of the deep skin layers and then acting more precisely.

Immediate changes are important, but it is also important to consider the process in which collagen production gradually continues over time.

In addition, because the depth and intensity of energy delivery may vary depending on skin thickness, elasticity, and the direction of sagging, it is necessary to fully reflect these factors.

Ultimately, when choosing a procedure, whether the approach matches the current skin condition rather than the device itself can be an important criterion, and it may be helpful to look for a process that promotes natural changes with less burden.
