✔️What Makes Ultherapy PRIME at QD Clinic Different?

Ultherapy PRIME at QD Clinic is a premium non-surgical lifting treatment offered at our Gangnam dermatology clinic, designed to naturally lift and tighten sagging skin using the latest ultrasound technology.

What sets our treatment apart is that it is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon using DeepSEE™ real-time ultrasound imaging. This advanced technology allows the SMAS layer to be visualized during treatment, enabling precise energy delivery based on each patient's unique facial anatomy.

This personalized approach helps maximize lifting results while minimizing the risk of unwanted side effects, such as facial hollowing or thermal injury.

QD Dermatology Clinic also offers dedicated English-speaking coordinators and a one-on-one WhatsApp consultation and reservation system, providing a convenient and comfortable experience for both local and international patients.

✔️What Are the Benefits of Ultherapy PRIME?

Ultherapy PRIME is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive lifting treatment that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to stimulate natural collagen production deep within the skin.

By targeting the 4.5 mm SMAS layer, it helps lift sagging skin, improve the jawline, and reduce the appearance of a double chin. The 3.0 mm and 1.5 mm transducers stimulate collagen remodeling within the dermis, helping to improve skin elasticity, smooth fine lines, and rejuvenate the eye area.

At QD Dermatology Clinic, a Gangnam dermatology clinic, treatments are performed using DeepSEE™ real-time ultrasound imaging, allowing the doctor to precisely visualize the skin's structure and accurately deliver energy to the targeted layers. This enhances safety while providing natural-looking, long-lasting lifting and anti-aging results.

✔️Who Is a Good Candidate for Ultherapy PRIME?

Ultherapy PRIME is best suited for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity whose skin still has adequate thickness but has begun to sag due to the natural aging process.

It is particularly effective for improving a weakened jawline, reducing the appearance of a double chin or jowls, and restoring skin firmness while softening fine lines by stimulating natural collagen production.

At QD Clinic, a Gangnam dermatology clinic, every treatment begins with a thorough one-on-one consultation by a board-certified plastic surgeon. Using DeepSEE™ real-time ultrasound imaging, the doctor evaluates your skin thickness and underlying tissue to create a personalized treatment plan while avoiding areas at higher risk of facial hollowing, helping to ensure safe, natural-looking lifting results.

✔️How Does Ultherapy PRIME Work?

Ultherapy PRIME is a non-invasive skin lifting treatment that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to precisely deliver energy beneath the skin without damaging the surface.

The focused ultrasound creates controlled thermal coagulation points at temperatures of approximately 60–70°C within the dermis and the SMAS layer, causing immediate tissue contraction while stimulating the body's natural healing response.

Over the following weeks and months, new collagen is produced through neocollagenesis, resulting in firmer, tighter, and more lifted skin. At QD Dermatology Clinic, a Gangnam dermatology clinic, DeepSEE™ real-time ultrasound imaging allows the doctor to visualize the treatment layers at depths of up to 8 mm, ensuring precise energy delivery, maximizing results, and helping minimize the risk of unwanted side effects such as facial hollowing.

✔️How Is Ultherapy PRIME Different from the Previous Ultherapy System?

Ultherapy PRIME is the latest-generation ultrasound lifting system from Merz, built upon the proven lifting technology of the original Ultherapy while incorporating advanced imaging and processing technology for greater speed and precision.

One of its biggest improvements is the enhanced graphics processor, which provides 100% real-time, lag-free visualization of the skin's underlying structures at depths of up to 8 mm. This allows the physician to monitor tissue layers more accurately throughout the procedure.

Compared with the previous generation, Ultherapy PRIME also delivers ultrasound energy over 20% faster, reducing overall treatment time while improving patient comfort. The faster, more precise energy delivery helps minimize the risk of side effects, such as discomfort and superficial thermal injury.

At QD Clinic, a Gangnam dermatology clinic, this latest-generation technology is combined with the expertise of a board-certified plastic surgeon to provide personalized, precise, and natural-looking lifting results.
