Ultherapy Prime in Seoul: Ultrasound Lifting for Jowls, Jawline and Brows
Ultherapy Prime delivers micro‑focused ultrasound to the deep SMAS layer — the same layer lifted in surgery — with live imaging so energy lands exactly where it should. One session, no incisions.
What is Ultherapy Prime?
Ultherapy Prime is the latest Ultherapy system: it uses micro‑focused ultrasound with real‑time visualisation to heat the SMAS and deep dermis, lifting and tightening the brow, cheeks, jawline and neck without surgery. Most people need one session a year; results develop over 2–3 months and peak around 6 months.
Concerns we treat
What can Ultherapy Prime lift?
It is FDA‑cleared for lifting the brow, under the chin and neck, and improving lines on the décolletage.
Jowls and jawline
Redefines a softening jawline from the deep layer.
Brow and upper eyelid
Lifts a heavy brow; pair with Eye Thermage for lid skin.
Under the chin and neck
Tightens loose submental skin; fat responds to double chin treatment.
Cheeks and nasolabial area
Lifts the mid‑face; volume loss may need cheek filler.
Décolletage
Softens chest lines and crepiness.
Skin tightening
Combine with Thermage FLX for surface firmness.
How it works
Why Ultherapy Prime is different
The applicator shows an ultrasound image of the skin layers, so the physician can confirm depth before each line of energy. Focused heat points stimulate new collagen in the SMAS, producing a gradual lift.
- Immediately: subtle lift for some patients
- 4–8 weeks: visible tightening begins
- 3–6 months: peak lift
- 12–18 months: maintenance session
