Lifting & Tightening/ Ultherapy PRIME

Focused Ultrasound Lifting

Ultherapy
PRIME.

Ultherapy PRIME uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy to lift and firm the skin at a deep structural level — the same layer surgeons address in a facelift — without cuts, needles or downtime.

Right depth, right setting — decided after assessment, not by default

Ultrasound energy depth and intensity are adjusted to your skin's structure and laxity. This page explains how Ultherapy PRIME works so you can discuss it accurately in consultation — it is not a substitute for an in-person assessment.

What Is Ultherapy PRIME

Lifting From Beneath the Skin.

Ultherapy PRIME is BOME's premium focused-ultrasound lifting system. Unlike treatments that only work on the skin's surface, it sends precisely focused ultrasound energy to the SMAS layer — the same deep connective-tissue layer a surgical facelift tightens — as well as to the deeper dermis. This triggers the body's own collagen-remodelling response, gradually lifting and firming the treated area from within, without cutting or displacing the skin.

Because the energy is delivered under real-time visualisation, the practitioner can see the layer being treated before firing, which supports more precise, consistent energy placement across the treatment area.

Key Benefits

What Ultherapy PRIME May Help With.

01

Jawline & Jowls

Supports a more defined jawline contour by lifting sagging tissue along the lower face.

02

Brow & Upper Face

Can lift the brow area and soften hooding around the upper eyelid without surgery.

03

Neck Laxity

Firms loose neck skin and softens the appearance of early neck banding.

04

Overall Elasticity

Stimulates new collagen production for a gradual, natural-looking firmness over time.

How It Works

The Ultherapy PRIME Treatment Journey.

01
Assessment & Depth Mapping Dr. Kwon examines your skin laxity and facial structure to decide which depths and areas need treatment — not every face needs the same settings.
02
Real-Time Visualisation The device's imaging lets the practitioner see the tissue layer before delivering energy, supporting precise placement.
03
Focused Ultrasound Delivery Ultrasound energy is delivered in a grid pattern across the treatment area. Sensation is typically a brief warm or prickling feeling as each point is treated.
04
Collagen Remodelling Over Time You leave immediately with no visible downtime. Collagen renewal continues over the following weeks to months, with results typically building gradually rather than appearing instantly.
Suitability

Is Ultherapy PRIME Right for You?

Mild to moderate skin laxity Best suited to early-to-moderate sagging rather than significant excess skin, which may need surgical options instead.
Want a non-surgical option Suitable if you want a lifting effect without incisions, anaesthesia or surgical downtime.
Realistic timeline expectations Best for those comfortable with a gradual result building over 2–3 months rather than an immediate change.
!
Pregnancy, active skin infection, or certain implants Please disclose these during consultation, as they may affect candidacy or require adjustment.
How It Compares

Ultherapy PRIME vs. Other Options.

Option Depth treated Downtime Onset of visible result
Ultherapy PRIME Deep (SMAS layer + dermis) None Gradual, over 2–3 months
Thermage FLX (RF) Dermis None Gradual, over 2–6 months
Surgical facelift Deep (SMAS layer, surgically repositioned) 1–2+ weeks Immediate, once healed
Ultherapy PRIME FAQ

Common Questions.

Does Ultherapy PRIME hurt?

Most people feel brief warmth or a prickling sensation as each point is treated. Comfort level is discussed and can be managed during your session.

How many sessions will I need?

Many patients see meaningful improvement from a single session, with some choosing a follow-up session later depending on the degree of laxity. Your exact plan is confirmed after assessment.

When will I see results?

Some initial tightening can be noticeable soon after treatment as tissue responds to heat, but the main lifting effect from new collagen builds gradually over 2–3 months.

How long do results last?

Typical results last roughly 12–18 months, though this varies by individual skin quality, age and lifestyle factors — ageing continues in the background regardless of treatment.

Can Ultherapy PRIME be combined with other treatments?

It's often discussed alongside treatments like Thermage FLX or EMFACE for a broader lifting and tightening plan — Dr. Kwon can advise whether combining treatments suits your goals.

Can international patients fit this into a short Seoul visit?

Yes — Ultherapy PRIME has no downtime, so it can typically be scheduled within a short visit. Please share your travel dates when booking your consultation.
