Min Clinic uses Ultherapy PRIME with DeepSEE real-time ultrasound visualization. A genuine treatment tip is opened in front of the patient, the clinic displays its authenticity certificate, and the live and final shot counts can be checked on the device screen.
Having Ultherapy PRIME with sensitive or reactive skin
If your skin flushes easily, reacts to skincare products or is currently irritated, let the clinic know before treatment. Bring the names or photographs of products that have caused a reaction and disclose any diagnosed skin condition, active inflammation, infection, wound or lesion in the treatment area.
Sensitive skin alone does not automatically determine whether Ultherapy PRIME is appropriate. The doctor evaluates the condition of your skin and decides whether treatment can proceed as planned, should be adjusted or should be postponed.
Ultherapy PRIME is an ultrasound-based energy treatment. It uses micro-focused ultrasound with visualization to create small thermal coagulation points beneath the skin. DeepSEE real-time ultrasound visualization allows the doctor to view the tissue layer being treated while selecting the appropriate depth.
The FDA-cleared wording focuses on lifting and improving the appearance of specific areas. Ultherapy PRIME should not be described as reversing sagging or replacing surgery.
On the day of your appointment
Bring a list of any medications you are currently taking and details of previous treatments in the same area, including fillers, thread lifting or surgery. Arriving without makeup on the treatment area may make preparation easier.
A senior consultation manager conducts the initial consultation, and the patient’s skin is assessed using an EVE V MUSE analyzer. The doctor then provides a detailed consultation about the treatment area and method, designs the treatment and performs the procedure.
Before treatment begins, confirm the planned areas, shot count, anesthesia method and total price. At Min Clinic, pain management includes topical anesthetic cream, an oral analgesic and local anesthesia. The anesthesia method may be adjusted during consultation according to the patient’s condition and pain sensitivity.
How the treatment is designed
The doctor uses DeepSEE real-time ultrasound visualization to assess the tissue beneath the skin and select the appropriate treatment depth. The 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm and 4.5 mm transducers, treatment areas, shot count and shot distribution are customized according to the patient’s facial anatomy, skin condition and degree of laxity.
A small single area may start from 100 shots, while treatment of the face and neck may require 800 shots or more. This does not mean that Min Clinic offers a separate 100-shot-only treatment package. The final number and distribution of shots are determined after consultation.

Recovery and sensitive skin
Temporary discomfort, redness, swelling or tenderness may occur after treatment. Recovery varies depending on the individual’s skin condition and treatment plan.
Redness is uncommon and, if it occurs, usually improves within several hours. Swelling generally improves within about three days, although it may last up to approximately two weeks depending on the individual.
Bruising is uncommon but may take approximately two weeks to resolve if it occurs. Mild tenderness when the treated area is pressed may gradually improve within about one month.
Gentle cleansing, light makeup and normal daily activities are generally possible on the same day if there is no skin injury or unusual reaction. Avoid rubbing the treated area or applying products that cause irritation. Strenuous exercise should be postponed until any heat sensation or swelling has subsided.
Flying is generally possible on the same day if there is no skin injury or unusual reaction. These time frames are general references, and individual recovery may vary.

Questions people ask
Is Ultherapy PRIME unsuitable for sensitive skin?
Not necessarily. Sensitive skin alone does not determine whether treatment is appropriate. The doctor evaluates your current skin condition, medical history and treatment area before deciding whether treatment can proceed.
What should I tell the clinic before treatment?
Tell the clinic if your skin flushes easily, reacts to skincare products or has active irritation. You should also disclose current medications, previous treatments in the same area, implanted medical devices and any active inflammation, infection, wound or lesion.
Should I bring my skincare products?
You may bring a list or photographs of products that have previously caused irritation. Ask the doctor which products you should use or temporarily avoid after treatment.
How long does an Ultherapy PRIME appointment take?
Allow time for consultation, skin assessment, anesthesia, treatment and a brief check afterward. The procedure itself takes approximately 30 minutes, while the full appointment may take approximately 60 minutes when anesthesia is included. These are estimated reference times, and the actual duration may vary according to the treatment area and individual plan.
How many shots will I need?
The doctor determines the number and distribution of shots according to the treatment area, facial anatomy, skin condition and degree of laxity. A small single area may start from 100 shots, while the face and neck may require 800 shots or more. Min Clinic does not offer a separate 100-shot-only treatment package.
Who performs Ultherapy PRIME?
At Min Clinic, a doctor conducts the detailed consultation, designs the treatment and performs Ultherapy PRIME.
Can I receive Ultherapy PRIME during pregnancy?
Min Clinic does not perform medical aesthetic procedures during pregnancy, including Ultherapy PRIME. Skincare treatments may be available after consultation.
Can I change my mind on the day?
Yes. You may withdraw consent before treatment begins. If the planned area, shot count, anesthesia method or price differs from what you expected, ask the clinic to explain before proceeding.
