Hello.

This is Oun Clinic Samseong Branch.

For those considering lifting treatments, there is a question we often hear.

What is the difference between Ulthera, 1st generation and 2nd generation?

As interest in lifting has recently increased, curiosity about the difference between the existing Ulthera and the latest ‘Ultherapy Prime’ has also grown.

Today, we will explain in detail what features Ultherapy Prime has.

1. A method that checks even previously unseen layers, the key to Ultherapy Prime

Ultherapy Prime is a device that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to reach deep layers of the skin.

The important factor here is not simply the ‘depth,’ but rather the ‘location and direction.’

Every person’s face is different.

Skin thickness, the distribution of fat layers, and the depth of the fascial layer all vary.

The key feature of Ultherapy Prime is that it allows the internal skin structure to be directly checked in real time through the imaging system (DeepSee™), almost like an endoscope.

Through this process, it becomes possible to focus energy on the target layer where it needs to be delivered and avoid nerve lines or unnecessary areas, enabling a more precise design.

This not only increases lifting efficiency but also plays a crucial role in reducing concerns many people have, such as hollowing of the cheeks or excessive stimulation.

2. The structural changes that create a noticeable difference between 1st and 2nd generation

| ✔ Existing Ulthera (1st generation) |

As the existing device has been used for a long time, it has accumulated abundant clinical data in the lifting market.

However, in the past, there were some limitations in the resolution and response speed of real-time monitoring, so a greater portion of the procedure had to rely entirely on the clinician’s skill and sense.

As a result, there were times when it was somewhat disappointing to adjust the uniformity of energy delivery or the subtle response differences depending on skin condition.

| ✔ Ultherapy Prime (2nd generation) |

On the other hand, with the introduction of the Prime device, which addresses the shortcomings of the existing device, the standard for Ulthera procedures in Samseong-dong has also been raised to another level.

It is not just a change of name; through software and hardware upgrades, the safety of the procedure has been improved.

Advanced real-time imaging	Clearer visualization of the layer-by-layer structure
Personalized approach	Targeting that considers the thickness of the fat layer
Precise control	Applying energy with more detailed depth and intensity adjustments

Thanks to these structural changes, it has become possible to reduce unnecessary stimulation while delivering sufficient energy to the necessary areas.

3. Skin concerns: accurate diagnosis comes first.

In fact, when listening to the concerns of people who visit for Ulthera in Samseong-dong, the biggest worries are hollowing of the cheeks and pain.

However, a decline in elasticity does not suddenly appear one day for just one reason.

Aging progresses in a three-dimensional way, from fine lines on the skin surface to a decrease in elasticity in the dermal layer, and finally sagging in the deepest fascial layer.

Rather than focusing only on pulling the skin upward, a strategy is needed for ‘where to lift and where to add volume.’

For some people, refining the jawline may be urgent, while for others, improving overall skin texture may come first.

As such, for satisfying results, the key is how to apply the technical features of Ulthera in Samseong-dong to your own skin.

In closing,

Ultherapy Prime is a smart device that provides much more information to medical staff than the previous generation.

However, the small but important difference in results ultimately comes down to how that data is interpreted and designed to match the patient’s facial structure.

When considering lifting, rather than simply checking the device name or generation, we recommend first looking at how thoroughly your skin condition is measured in three dimensions and whether a ‘personalized plan’ suited to it is proposed.

We hope you experience a lifting design that is truly necessary for you through a Samseong-dong Ulthera consultation that provides essential answers.

Oun Clinic Samseong Branch will think together with you about a direction that can reduce your 부담 while increasing satisfaction, based on a balanced approach and careful design.

Thank you.
