Yeongdeungpo Ulthera Prime vs. Existing Ulthera: A Clear Comparison at a Glance

Yeongdeungpo Ulthera Prime vs.

A Clear Comparison with Existing Ulthera

“Ulthera and Ulthera Prime—

what’s different?”

“I hear Prime is better from people around me...

but I’m not really sure what’s better about it.”

If you’re interested in skin lifting, you’ve probably heard of Ulthera at least once.

With the recent release of Ulthera Prime, there have been many requests to compare the two devices.

In consultations, people often ask not so much about the procedure itself, but rather what has changed compared with the existing Ulthera.

So today, let’s go over the specific differences between Ulthera Prime and the existing Ulthera one by one.

Yeongdeungpo Ulthera Prime

How does it help with lifting?

Ulthera is a procedure that uses ultrasound to deliver energy to specific layers beneath the skin and create a lifting effect.

It is characterized by targeting the deep layers under the skin rather than pulling from the surface.

In particular, lifting is created by delivering energy to the SMAS layer (the fascial layer), which is directly connected to skin sagging.

Ulthera Prime keeps this basic principle while being upgraded to allow you to “see more accurately and perform the procedure more precisely.”

The risk of side effects such as burns and swelling has been reduced

The existing Ulthera was already a highly refined device, but it did have one limitation.

The depth at which it could visualize the inside of the skin was up to about 4.5 mm.

This depth makes it possible to check down to the SMAS layer, but in cases where the skin is thick or the fat layer is more developed, it could be difficult to accurately identify deeper structures.

Ulthera Prime has significantly improved this part.

It can now visualize skin structures up to a maximum depth of 8 mm, and the resolution is much clearer as well.

To explain why this matters a little more: in the past, when looking at a depth like this, it was necessary to rely on experience or intuition to judge which layer it likely was.

Now, treatment can be performed while directly checking not only the skin layer, fat layer, and fascial layer, but also sensitive structures such as blood vessels and nerves.

Item	Ulthera	Ulthera Prime
Visible depth	Up to about 4.5 mm	Up to about 8 mm
Visualization (imaging)	Basic ultrasound imaging (2D)	Improved resolution + wider view
Targeting accuracy	Some reliance on experience/intuition	More precise targeting through real-time confirmation
Sensation of pain	Stimulation concentrated at one point (tingling sensation)	Energy is distributed, resulting in relatively milder stimulation

As a result, unnecessary damage to the epidermis or subcutaneous tissue has been reduced, and energy can be delivered accurately only to the necessary layers.

So the lifting effect can be expected more stably, and the overall risk of side effects such as swelling and burns has been reduced.

Unnecessary pain has been reduced

One of the biggest concerns for people considering Ulthera is pain.

With Ulthera, many people felt a tingling pain as the energy was delivered strongly and momentarily to one point.

In particular, with the existing Ulthera, some people said there were occasional shots that hurt more during the procedure.

The newly released Ulthera Prime has improved this part.

As Ulthera delivers heat into the skin, there can be slight variations in the energy being delivered.

That can sometimes make certain moments feel especially painful.

Ulthera Prime has been improved so that energy can be delivered more evenly, reducing unnecessary stimulation.

In practice, many people have said, “It hurt less than Ulthera after the procedure.”

There is also a separate post整理ing research on pain, so it may be helpful to refer to that content as well.

Frequently asked questions

1. Can I feel results with just one session?

In general, you can feel the lifting effect even with just one treatment session.

However, the degree to which the effect is felt and how long it lasts can vary from person to person depending on the degree of sagging, the amount of fat, and the skin’s elasticity.

In some cases, additional treatments or regular maintenance may also be helpful.

2. Is it okay if my skin is thin?

If the skin is thin, the device’s accuracy becomes even more important.

Ulthera Prime allows the depth to be adjusted while checking skin thickness and structure, so the procedure can be performed with less unnecessary stimulation.

3. Can it be combined with other lifting procedures?

Yes, it can.

Ulthera is a procedure that targets the deep layer (SMAS layer).

So if it is combined with radiofrequency procedures that work through a relatively different mechanism, you can receive help not only with lifting but also with improving elasticity.

However, the interval between procedures, the order, and the intensity settings should be determined according to each person’s condition.

To summarize today’s content, Yeongdeungpo Ulthera Prime is

• now able to check deeper layers
• able to target more accurately
• improved so that it is less painful than before

But there is one important point I’d also like to mention.

Of course, the device itself is important, but how it is used often has a greater impact on the actual results.

For example,

✔️ how accurately the skin condition is analyzed ✔️ which layer is selected as the target ✔️ how the energy is adjusted

Depending on these factors, even when using the same device, there can be differences in the results.

So when considering a procedure, rather than looking only at the device, it is a good idea to also check whether your skin condition is being thoroughly analyzed and whether a plan tailored to it is being made.
