Ultherapy Prime at UPIC Clinic Myeongdong is a non-invasive microfocused-ultrasound treatment for selected concerns involving mild skin laxity, reduced jawline definition and loose-looking skin beneath the chin.
The system combines focused-ultrasound energy with real-time imaging. This allows the treatment provider to view tissue beneath the skin, assess treatment depth and plan where energy should be delivered.
UPIC Clinic Myeongdong currently identifies three treatment depths for Ultherapy Prime: 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm and 4.5 mm. The appropriate transducer, number of treatment lines and energy plan depend on the area, tissue depth, facial anatomy and intended result.
Ultherapy Prime is not a surgical facelift. It cannot remove excess skin, reshape facial bones or guarantee a particular face shape. A consultation is required to determine whether the treatment is appropriate and what degree of improvement is realistic.
Fornur helps international visitors explore Skin & Aesthetic services in Korea and request consultations with available clinic partners. The consultation request is free. Ultherapy Prime treatment is charged separately.
Ultherapy Prime is an updated microfocused-ultrasound platform with real-time tissue imaging. UPIC Clinic currently provides the treatment at its Myeongdong branch.
The system delivers energy at selected depths beneath the skin while allowing the treatment provider to view tissue during planning and energy delivery. UPIC currently identifies 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm and 4.5 mm transducer depths.
The treatment may be considered when mild skin laxity is affecting the brow, lower face, jawline, neck or skin beneath the chin. Exact areas available through UPIC Clinic must be confirmed before treatment because the old listing does not reliably distinguish between manufacturer-cleared areas and branch-specific packages.
Ultherapy Prime uses mechanical ultrasound energy rather than laser light, radiofrequency energy or injectable products.
Real-time imaging is used to view tissue beneath the skin before and during treatment. The system can visualise tissue to a depth of up to 8 mm, while treatment energy is delivered through transducers selected for specific tissue depths.
The ultrasound energy creates small, controlled thermal treatment points beneath the skin. These points initiate a tissue-remodelling response without making an incision or directly removing skin.
The aim is gradual improvement rather than an instant surgical lift. Early firmness can sometimes be noticed, but the result is more appropriately assessed over the following weeks and months.
Treatment depth | General planning consideration |
1.5 mm | More superficial dermal treatment |
3.0 mm | Deeper dermal treatment for selected firmness concerns |
4.5 mm | Deeper tissue layers used in selected lifting plans |
The table explains the general purpose of the available depths. It does not mean that all three should be used during every appointment.
The treatment provider should determine which depths are appropriate after assessing skin thickness, tissue distribution, facial volume and the area being treated.
A package containing more depths or more treatment lines is not automatically better. Correct visualisation, placement and energy selection are more important than choosing the largest available package.
The Ulthera system has US FDA-cleared indications to lift the eyebrow, lift skin on the neck and beneath the chin, and improve lines and wrinkles on the décolletage.
These indications should not be expanded into a claim that every facial area or cosmetic concern is FDA-cleared.
Terms such as “full face,” “cheek lifting” or “V-line treatment” can refer to clinic-created treatment packages rather than a specific regulatory indication. The precise treatment boundaries must therefore be confirmed during consultation.
Official indication and safety information can be reviewed through the Ultherapy treatment and results information.
Ultherapy Prime may be considered when the main concern involves mild to moderate skin laxity, a lowered brow position, reduced jawline visibility, early jowling or loose-looking skin beneath the chin or on the neck.
The treatment may be less suitable when the primary concern is substantial excess skin, major facial-volume loss, a large pocket of facial fat or underlying facial bone structure.
A less-defined jawline can result from several factors. Skin laxity, submental fat, chin position, jaw structure, muscle activity and facial volume require different treatment approaches.
The consultation should identify what is creating the concern rather than selecting Ultherapy solely because the patient wants a slimmer-looking face.
Ultherapy has an FDA-cleared indication for eyebrow lifting.
Treatment near the forehead, brow and eye area requires careful planning. Ultrasound energy should not be directed towards the eye, eyelid or orbital rim.
The treatment provider should identify the exact boundary, depth and direction of treatment and explain what degree of brow change is realistic.
Ultherapy Prime cannot guarantee correction of significant eyelid drooping or reproduce the result of eyelid surgery.
Ultherapy Prime may be discussed when mild laxity is affecting the appearance of the jawline or skin beneath the chin.
The treatment does not reshape the jawbone or permanently remove every source of submental fullness. A double chin can reflect fat distribution, skin laxity, chin position or underlying facial structure.
When localised fullness rather than laxity is the main concern, another treatment may be more appropriate. People comparing these concerns can review face contouring at UPIC Clinic.
The clinic should explain whether the treatment is intended to improve laxity, contour visibility or another specific concern.
Ultherapy has an FDA-cleared indication for lifting skin on the neck.
It can be considered when the concern involves mild to moderate laxity. It cannot surgically remove excess skin or provide the degree of correction associated with a neck lift.
Treatment planning should avoid the thyroid gland, major vessels, nerves and other structures that should not receive ultrasound energy.
Patients with substantial loose skin may be advised that non-surgical ultrasound is unlikely to produce the degree of change they want.
“Full face” is not a sufficiently precise treatment description on its own.
A full-face package could refer to different combinations of the brow, cheeks, lower face, jawline and area beneath the chin. The neck may or may not be included.
Before payment, the written treatment plan should define:
The areas included and excluded
The transducer depths being used
The total number of treatment lines
Whether the brow, under-chin area and neck are included
Whether additional treatment lines carry a separate charge
What result each treatment region is intended to address
A generic full-face package should not be purchased without this information.
The consultation should review the main concern, facial anatomy, existing facial volume, skin thickness and degree of laxity.
Previous Ultherapy, HIFU, Thermage, fillers, thread lifting and facial surgery can affect treatment planning. The clinic should also review implanted devices, facial or dental implants, medicines, relevant medical conditions and current skin health.
Before agreeing to treatment, confirm the exact Ultherapy Prime system, practitioner, treatment areas, transducer depths, total treatment-line count, comfort-management options, recovery guidance and complete price.
Ask whether real-time imaging will be used throughout treatment planning and delivery. Imaging should be part of the Ultherapy Prime procedure rather than treated as an optional extra.
Do not stop prescribed medication unless the healthcare professional responsible for it advises you to do so.
The area is examined and ultrasound gel is applied to support contact between the transducer and skin.
The real-time imaging function is then used to view tissue beneath the surface. This helps the treatment provider assess depth and plan where ultrasound energy should be delivered.
The selected transducer is placed against the skin, and energy is delivered in a planned series of treatment lines.
Sensations can include heat, tingling, pressure, tenderness or brief sharp feelings. Treatment over bony or sensitive areas can feel different from treatment over softer tissue.
The procedure should not be described as painless. Tell the treatment provider immediately if you experience severe pain, burning, electrical sensations or another response that differs substantially from what was explained.
Official Ultherapy information describes a treatment time of approximately 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the treatment area and individual plan.
The complete appointment can take longer when consultation, photography, tissue assessment, imaging, treatment planning, comfort measures and post-treatment review are included.
The clinic should confirm whether the quoted appointment time refers only to ultrasound delivery or to the entire visit.
The current listing does not state a verified treatment-line count.
The number of lines can depend on the area, degree of laxity, facial size, transducer selection and treatment pattern.
A higher line count does not guarantee a better result. Lines must be placed at an appropriate depth and in areas where treatment is suitable.
Before paying, request written confirmation of the total treatment lines, areas covered, transducer depths and whether additional lines are charged separately.
Official Ultherapy information states that many patients receive one treatment and then assess the gradual result. This should not be converted into a promise that one session is sufficient for every patient.
Ultherapy’s official patient information states that the result commonly develops over approximately two to three months as tissue remodelling continues.
Some people notice an earlier change, while others experience a more gradual or limited improvement. Results vary according to age, anatomy, degree of laxity, treatment depth, line placement and individual response.
The manufacturer states that results can last for up to a year or longer for some patients. This is not a guaranteed duration.
Ultherapy Prime cannot promise permanent lifting, complete double-chin removal, facial-fat elimination, perfect symmetry or a surgical facelift result.
The official Ultherapy frequently asked questions provide further information about treatment sensations, typical candidates and the expected result timeline.
Many patients resume routine activities after treatment, but the page should not guarantee that every patient will experience no downtime.
Redness, swelling, pain and transient nerve effects are among the most commonly reported reactions. Tingling, tenderness, bruising or temporary numbness can also occur.
The clinic should provide written aftercare covering skincare, makeup, exercise, heat exposure, alcohol, facial massage, dental treatment, other aesthetic procedures and follow-up.
Seek prompt medical assessment if you experience worsening pain, blistering, burns, persistent numbness, facial weakness, marked asymmetry, increasing swelling, vision changes or another reaction that differs significantly from the recovery explained before treatment.
Ultherapy Prime is non-invasive, but it is not risk-free.
The system should not be used over open wounds or lesions, severe or cystic acne in the treatment area, active implanted electrical devices or metallic implants in the proposed treatment area.
Tell the clinic about pacemakers, defibrillators, facial implants, metal implants, previous fillers, recent thread lifting and previous facial surgery.
Treatment directly over dermal fillers has not been adequately evaluated in official product guidance. The location, product and timing of any previous filler treatment should therefore be disclosed.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, bleeding disorders, anticoagulant treatment, poor healing, keloid history, neurological conditions, active skin disease and reduced facial sensation should also be discussed before treatment.
Suitability for another ultrasound or radiofrequency procedure does not automatically confirm suitability for Ultherapy Prime.
Ultherapy Prime does not make incisions, remove excess skin or surgically reposition facial tissues.
Facelift surgery can produce a greater degree of correction for substantial laxity because tissue is directly repositioned and excess skin can be removed. Surgery also involves different anaesthesia, medical risks and recovery.
Ultherapy Prime is more appropriately considered for selected patients with mild to moderate laxity who understand that the expected change is more limited than surgery.
It should not be marketed as a permanent or equivalent replacement for a facelift.
The consultation request submitted through Fornur is free. Ultherapy Prime treatment is not free.
Pricing can depend on the treatment area, total number of treatment lines, transducer depths, face or neck coverage, comfort-management method and whether another procedure is included.
Before paying, request written confirmation of the exact device, treatment areas, line count, transducer depths, practitioner, package validity, follow-up and any additional charges.
Do not rely on a package described only as “full face,” “V-line,” “double chin” or a treatment-line number without confirming exactly what it includes.
International visitors should allow sufficient time for consultation, treatment, the early tissue response and any follow-up recommended after the procedure.
Include the following information in your Fornur enquiry:
Your main facial or neck concern
Previous Ultherapy, HIFU, Thermage, fillers, threads or facial surgery
Facial, dental, metallic or electronic implants
Relevant medical conditions, medicines and supplements
Preferred treatment dates and departure date
Important events and acceptable recovery time
If several treatments are being planned during the same trip, ask how they should be sequenced and whether enough time has been allowed between procedures.
The clinic must confirm appointment availability, current language support, practitioner information, treatment areas, line count, price and follow-up arrangements.
Fornur facilitates the consultation enquiry. It does not diagnose facial concerns, select treatment depths or perform the procedure.

Treatment | Technology | General treatment distinction |
Ultherapy Prime | Microfocused ultrasound with real-time imaging | Uses imaging and focused ultrasound at selected depths |
Shurink Universe | Focused ultrasound | A separate branded ultrasound platform with different cartridges and protocols |
Thermage FLX | Monopolar radiofrequency | Uses radiofrequency rather than ultrasound |
Thread lift | Absorbable inserted threads | Mechanically supports tissue and is minimally invasive |
Face contouring | InMode or ONDA technologies | More relevant when localised fullness is part of the concern |
People comparing focused-ultrasound platforms can review Shurink Universe HIFU at UPIC Clinic.
Those comparing radiofrequency treatment can review Thermage FLX at UPIC Clinic Myeongdong.
A thread lift at UPIC Clinic uses inserted threads rather than external energy.
These treatments should not be presented as interchangeable. The appropriate option depends on whether the main concern involves skin laxity, tissue position, facial fullness, volume loss or underlying structure.
Share your main facial or neck concern, previous aesthetic procedures, relevant implants or medical information, preferred appointment dates, departure date and acceptable recovery time.
Fornur can help you request current treatment and pricing information for Ultherapy Prime at UPIC Clinic Myeongdong. The clinic will determine whether an assessment or procedure can be offered and confirm the proposed imaging, transducer and treatment-line plan.
