Why Hospital Prices Differ for the Same 300 Shots
-
Whether Genuine Tips Are Used: Ultherapy Prime can authenticate genuine products using QR code or NFC 'Touch Prime' method. Whether this process is performed in front of the patient is the first criterion.
-
Performing Doctor: The cost composition may differ depending on whether the doctor who consulted is the same as the one performing the procedure, and whether the specialist performs the procedure directly.
-
Anesthesia Method: The amount varies depending on whether sleep anesthesia is included and whether an anesthesiology specialist is stationed.
-
Whether VAT is Included: Also check whether the displayed price includes VAT.
How is Ultherapy Prime Different from General Ultrasound Lifting?
According to official materials from Merz Aesthetics Korea, Ultherapy Prime is a focused ultrasound device approved by the FDA and the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. The biggest difference is that energy can be applied while watching the layer beneath the skin in real-time during the procedure.
| Comparison Item | General Ultrasound Lifting | Ultherapy Prime |
|---|---|---|
| Image Confirmation | None or limited | DeepSEE™ Real-time Image Confirmation |
| Maximum Visualization Depth | Varies by device | Up to 8mm |
| Primary Treatment Layer | Skin surface to mid-layer | SMAS fascial layer |
| Genuine Authentication | Often no separate authentication | QR code·NFC 'Touch Prime' |
Ultrasound energy creates small thermal coagulation points in the skin, and collagen regeneration then proceeds gradually. Changes typically appear over 2-3 months following the procedure, and the duration of results varies individually depending on skin condition and lifestyle habits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the difference between 300 shots and 600 shots?
300 shots is the basic amount to cover the entire face, and 600 shots is considered for wide coverage of forehead, eye area, cheeks, and jaw line, or in cases of severe sagging. It is more important to design based on skin condition rather than simply increasing the number of shots.
Q. Does insurance coverage apply?
Ultherapy Prime is a non-covered cosmetic procedure, so health insurance does not apply. Most out-of-pocket insurance also excludes it from coverage, but this may vary depending on your policy, so please confirm with your insurance company.
Q. I'm worried about pain. Can sleep anesthesia be used?
Yes, it is possible. If you choose sleep anesthesia, an anesthesiology specialist will be stationed in the procedure room to conduct the procedure. Please mention this during consultation.
Q. How often should maintenance procedures be done?
Based on the fee schedule, the recommended procedure interval is 1 year. This can vary depending on skin condition and will be explained during consultation.
Q. What if I do Thermage FLX together?
Ultherapy Prime works on the SMAS fascial layer, while Thermage FLX works on the dermis layer, treating different layers. Whether to do both procedures together should be decided during consultation after examining your skin condition.
