How to Improve the Effect of Hongdae Ultherapy Prime

Hello. I’m Dr. Jo Won-jin, and I’ve been practicing medicine for 10 years.

I heard Ultherapy Prime is the latest version.

Then it should definitely work better than Ulthera, right?

To start with the conclusion, just because a device is upgraded does not mean it will automatically produce better results.

Hongdae Ultherapy Prime also has different levels of satisfaction depending on how it is performed.

Today, under the topic of how to improve the effect of Hongdae Ultherapy Prime,

for those planning Hongdae Ultherapy Prime, I’ll explain tips for maximizing results even with the same number of shots.

You don’t want to pay a lot and get no results, so please focus for 3 minutes.^^

1. Differences between Ultherapy Prime and Ulthera

Even if you have heard a lot about Ulthera, some of you may be unfamiliar with Prime.

You can think of Prime as an upgraded version of the existing device.

Its biggest feature is a larger screen for viewing beneath the skin, and the improved clarity has increased treatment accuracy.

Because energy is delivered precisely without being wasted on unnecessary areas, the burden of pain is also reduced.

2. How to improve the effect of Ultherapy Prime

So, you’re probably wondering how to improve the effect.

If you pay attention to just the three points below, you can prevent wasting money.

1. Get the design done while seated Ask the doctor who will perform your treatment to check your skin condition and do the design while you are “sitting.”

There are cases where they simply check briefly while you are lying down and then go straight into the procedure,

but the degree of sagging in our face is completely different when lying down versus sitting.

That’s because when you lie down, gravity causes the tissue to spread upward.

So when designing the treatment, you must look in a mirror while seated and accurately check the areas that sag in the direction of gravity.

If you skip this process, you may miss the areas that actually need lifting and waste expensive shots on the wrong places.

This is also why hollow cheeks as a side effect happen so often.

2. A shot distribution strategy focused on the lower face Hongdae Ultherapy Prime is a device that is efficient for lower-face lifting.

So it can be somewhat questionable to distribute shots evenly across the whole face in an attempt to lift everything overall.

In particular, if energy is aggressively applied to people who have little fat below the cheekbones or in the cheeks, it can also affect cheek fat.

Even during the actual procedure, the upper-face design is kept conservative to prevent the risk of side effects.

From an efficiency standpoint, it is better to focus shots on the lower face, such as the jawline and jowls, where sagging is more pronounced.

3. Adjust pressure according to skin thickness For ultrasound lifting, the key is how well the tip is made to adhere to the skin.

Skin thickness and contours vary from person to person and from one area of the face to another.

Even if the screen is displaying properly, that does not necessarily mean every shot is being delivered well.

What matters is how precisely energy is delivered by adjusting the angle and pressure of the tip in real time.

In people with thicker skin, even when firing with a 4.5 mm tip, the energy may not reach the targeted fascial layer.

(Then instead of fascial contraction, only the fat decreases.)

Skin thickness varies this much by area.

If the tip angle is tilted too much, energy may also fail to enter properly.

That is why performing the procedure carefully without losing focus for a long time is also an important factor that affects the results.^^

Ah, and if you are concerned about nasolabial folds or jowls, please read the post below before getting treatment.

3. Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Q. I heard it hurts. Would it be better to get it under sedation?

A. For safety reasons, we do not recommend it.

If you move unconsciously while under sedation, the device tip can lift away from the skin, increasing the risk of burns or hollow-cheek side effects.

It may be better to use less-painful treatments such as Thermage or Shurink to improve overall elasticity,

and combine Ulthera only on areas where strong lifting is really needed.

Q. I had it done incorrectly before and got hollow cheeks. Does that mean I can’t get lifting treatments anymore?

A. No. Paradoxically, it is also evidence that your skin responds very well to energy.

In the previous procedure, there is a high chance that the shots were delivered uniformly without considering the shape of your face.

As mentioned above, if the problem points are identified,

and you receive proper design tailored to your skin thickness and bone structure, you should be able to see good lifting results.

4. Key summary for increasing the effect of Ultherapy Prime

• Hongdae Ultherapy Prime is a procedure that reduces pain burden and improves accuracy through precise energy control
• To prevent hollow cheeks, the key is to do the design while seated and distribute shots mainly to the lower face where sagging is more pronounced
• Fine manual skill that adjusts pressure according to skin thickness and contours in each area is important

Even with an upgraded device, if you skip this kind of detailed design and close-contact process,

the effect may disappear quickly or may not appear at all.

In the end, what matters is verifying whether the clinic is trustworthy.
