Ulthera Prime Effects: How Does It Compare to Ulthera?

“I want to get a lifting procedure,

but I heard Ulthera hurts too much..

Is Ulthera Prime a little less painful..??”

When the face begins to sag or loses elasticity,

the procedure that comes to mind first

is Ulthera.

However, as effective as Ulthera is,

many people hesitate because of the pain.

Recently, a device called

Ulthera Prime, developed for people like this,

has been drawing attention.

But how are Ulthera and Ulthera Prime

different?

Actually, many people are curious

about this, so today I’ll explain based on a research paper

that compared the two devices in detail.

1. What is the difference between Ulthera and Ulthera Prime?

Both procedures are devices made by the same company,

and Ulthera Prime is the upgraded version of Ulthera.

Both devices use HIFU energy

to deliver thermal energy to deep layers of the skin,

causing tissue contraction

and inducing collagen regeneration,

which creates a lifting effect.

Ulthera uses 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm

cartridges to stimulate a wide range

from the dermis to the fascia layer.

Because it uses strong energy, it has good

collagen remodeling effects,

but the strong energy can also make it quite painful.

Ulthera Prime is based on the technology of the existing Ulthera,

but it is a version that reduces pain

by distributing energy more precisely.

In particular, people with thin skin,

those sensitive to pain,

and those trying lifting procedures for the first time

may find it more comfortable.

The procedure time is shorter than with the existing Ulthera,

and the recovery burden is lighter.

In other words, the principles of the two devices are the same,

but Ulthera Prime is a more refined version.

2. Comparing the effects of Ulthera Prime

Ulthera Prime has a larger 19-inch screen

compared with the existing 15-inch Ulthera,

and its resolution has also increased from

1024 X 768 to 1920 X 1080,

resulting in a higher pixel density.

In addition, image noise has been reduced.

When resolution improves and noise decreases,

image distortion is reduced,

allowing the skin layers to be identified more accurately.

As a result, energy can be delivered more precisely to the target layer,

and unnecessary energy delivery is reduced.

In other words, the effect improves

while side effects and pain decrease.

Below is a clinical case of Ulthera Prime

included in the paper.

This is the result observed three months after

treatment with 751 shots of Ulthera Prime

in a 49-year-old woman.

Improvements were observed in the facial contour,

including reduced sagging of the deep cheek area and under the chin,

lifting of the midface,

and smoothing of wrinkles around the eyes.

Ulthera and Ulthera Prime

both use the same principle,

but as the device becomes more refined,

the accuracy of the procedure increases,

and the effects of Ulthera Prime

can also be expected to improve.

The device is better, but even so,

there is one important point

I’d like you to pay attention to.

That is whether the procedure is customized to your face.

Even if the device is better,

if the treatment is performed without considering the skin condition,

you won’t be able to see the same level of results.

So depending on your skin condition,

please make sure to check whether the medical staff can perform the procedure

with the appropriate number of shots and intensity.
