Micro-focused ultrasound (MFU-V)
Ultherapy® Prime
Ultherapy Prime is a micro-focused ultrasound device that delivers energy to the SMAS layer — the same layer a surgeon addresses in a facelift — to stimulate collagen and lift the face without incisions. It is the only ultrasound lifting cleared to visualize the tissue it targets.
How it works
Focused ultrasound creates thermal coagulation points at a precise depth. Over the following weeks new collagen forms, gradually lifting and firming the treated area.

Frequently asked
- How is it designed for my face?
- The surgeon maps depth and shot placement to your facial anatomy in a one-patient-per-hour setting.
- Who is Ultherapy Prime suitable for?
- It is often considered for early to moderate laxity along the jawline, cheeks, neck or brow in people who want to address sagging without surgery. Suitability and expected results vary by individual, so the surgeon assesses your skin and facial structure at consultation before recommending a plan.
- Does it hurt, and is anesthesia used?
- Sensation differs from person to person and by depth of treatment. Comfort measures such as topical numbing can be planned at consultation, and the surgeon adjusts energy settings to your tolerance during the one-patient-per-hour session.
- How much downtime should I expect?
- Downtime is usually short but varies; some people notice mild redness or tenderness that settles within hours to a day. Your individual response is discussed at consultation so you can plan your schedule in Seoul.
