You Need to Know It Properly Before Getting It복

"What is the difference between Ulthera and Ulthera Prime?"

If you are looking into lifting treatments, you have probably come across the word ‘Ulthera’ at least once.

It is a device that has received steady attention for a long time, drawing notice for its relatively long-lasting results and visible changes.

However, as you look into Ulthera, you may also come across a newer device called ‘Ulthera Prime.’

You may be wondering what differences there are between these two devices, which seem similar.

Today, I will explain this in detail.

Hongdae Ulthera Prime What is the existing Ulthera device?

Ulthera is a device based on high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy.

While radiofrequency (RF), which is commonly used, delivers thermal energy broadly, high-intensity focused ultrasound concentrates energy at a single point.

By focusing ultrasound energy at one point and delivering it strongly, it targets the relatively deep layer known as the fascia (SMAS layer).

This fascial layer supports the muscles and fat and plays an important role in shaping facial contours.

However, as we age, this area also loses elasticity and its supporting strength weakens.

As a result, the skin may start to sag downward, leading to changes such as buccal fat prominence or jawline fullness.

Ulthera can be seen as a treatment focused on improving these issues.

When energy is delivered to the fascia layer and thermal coagulation points are formed, the skin that has been stimulated enters a recovery process.

During this process, collagen regenerates, improving the elasticity of the fascia layer and ultimately helping to refine facial contours.

Hongdae Ulthera Prime How is Ulthera different?

There are many high-intensity focused ultrasound devices besides Ulthera, but the reason Ulthera has drawn particular attention is its relatively clear results and long-lasting effects.

Compared with other devices, it tends to cause fewer side effects such as facial hollowing, and overall satisfaction is high.

The biggest reason for these advantages is the ultrasound imaging system.

The key to high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment is precisely delivering energy to the target fascia layer.

However, because the location of the fascia layer differs from person to person, accurate targeting was sometimes difficult.

Ulthera allows treatment while checking the inside of the skin in real time through ultrasound imaging called “DeepSEE.”

In other words, energy can be delivered while directly confirming the location of the fascia layer, reducing unnecessary energy loss.

For example, if 100 shots are delivered, the energy is transmitted more accurately to the fascia layer, which makes the effect more noticeable and the duration of the result longer.

Hongdae Why did Ulthera Prime appear?

The existing Ulthera is also a highly precise device, but one limitation was the depth of the skin layers that could be checked.

The existing Ulthera could confirm depths of up to about 4.5 mm, but if the skin was thick or sagging was severe, it could be difficult to clearly identify the fascia layer.

Therefore, even with an ultrasound screen, there were situations where precision could decrease because the actual target layer was difficult to pinpoint accurately.

The device introduced to supplement these limitations is Ulthera Prime.

The ultrasound viewing range, which had previously been limited to 4.5 mm, was expanded to up to about 8 mm, making it possible to examine deeper layers more finely regardless of skin type.

In addition, the screen size and resolution were improved, further increasing treatment precision.

This can lead to clearer results, which may also increase satisfaction.

Therefore, if you have significant skin sagging or thicker skin, considering this device may be helpful.

Hongdae Ulthera Prime uses the same energy as the existing Ulthera, but it differs in its ultrasound imaging system.

Simply put, it is a device with improved “precision,” so treatment time may be shortened and more noticeable results can be expected.

Therefore, for those who were not fully satisfied with previous Ulthera treatments, considering Ulthera Prime may be one option.
