How to Verify Authentic Ultherapy PRIME in Seoul

You can check clinics using genuine Ultherapy devices on the Merz Aesthetics Korea website at https://merz.co.kr/wp-content/find-hospital.php.

During consultation, ask about the device and how ultrasound imaging is used. DeepSEE allows the doctor to view tissue layers while planning and delivering treatment. The device screen also displays the real-time and final shot counts.

What the Session Involves

A senior consultation manager conducts the initial consultation, and the skin is assessed using an Eve V A I Skin Analysis 3D skin analyzer.

The doctor reviews your medical history and assesses your facial structure, skin thickness, laxity and concerns. Treatment areas, depths and shot distribution are planned individually.

At Min Clinic, pain management includes topical anesthetic cream, an oral analgesic and local anesthesia. Cleansing, skin measurement, exfoliation, pain management, treatment and a soothing mask are included.

Treatment takes about 30 minutes, or about 60 minutes including anesthesia. Allow additional time for consultation and preparation.

Min Clinic does not perform Ultherapy PRIME during pregnancy, after an injectable treatment earlier on the same day, over an open wound or active lesion, or in patients with an active implanted medical device such as a pacemaker.

Tell the doctor about medications, supplements, medical conditions, implanted devices and previous procedures. Do not stop prescribed medication without advice from your prescribing doctor.

Results, Recovery and Practical Points

Effects may last about 12 months, but duration varies by skin condition, treatment plan and individual response. Your doctor can advise when maintenance treatment may be appropriate.

Gentle cleansing and light makeup are generally possible the same day if there is no skin injury or unusual reaction. Same-day flying may also be possible following the doctor's assessment. Share your departure date before treatment.

Temporary reactions can include discomfort, redness, swelling and tenderness. Redness usually improves within several hours. Swelling generally improves within approximately three days but may last up to two weeks. Bruising may also take about two weeks to fade, while tenderness may gradually improve over about one month.

Other possible adverse effects include numbness or tingling, temporary localized muscle weakness or asymmetry, burns, scarring, fat or volume loss and pigmentation changes. Contact the clinic about worsening symptoms, unexpected skin changes or persistent weakness.
