Ultherapy Prime in Gangnam, Seoul

Quick answer: Ultherapy Prime is a micro-focused ultrasound lift that heats the deep SMAS layer, the same layer tightened in a surgical facelift, without cutting the skin. Its live ultrasound imaging lets the doctor see each layer before energy is delivered. At AMRED Clinic in Cheongdam, Gangnam, it is planned after EVE V 3D facial analysis and a 1:1 doctor consultation, and lifting builds gradually over two to three months.

How does Ultherapy Prime work?

The handpiece focuses ultrasound energy into tiny thermal points beneath the skin surface. Heating the SMAS and dermis to a controlled temperature contracts existing tissue and starts a collagen-rebuilding response, so the face looks lifted and firmer over the following weeks.

The "Prime" generation adds sharper ultrasound visualization, so the doctor can confirm depth and avoid bone or thin areas before each line of energy.

Who is a good candidate?

  • Adults with mild to moderate sagging along the jaw, cheeks or brow
  • People who want a lift without surgery or visible downtime
  • Patients maintaining a previous facelift or thread lift

Very heavy laxity or significant excess skin may be better served by surgery; the doctor will say so honestly at consultation.

How AMRED plans Ultherapy Prime

AMRED maps facial structure with EVE V 3D analysis, then a doctor decides shot distribution and depth area by area. The plan is documented in a Bespoke Report, and Ultherapy Prime is often combined with Thermage FLX for skin-surface tightening or Tune Confier for contour.
