Hello,
this is nbom Clinic.

Before deciding on a lifting treatment, one of the common questions patients ask is, "When will the changes appear, and how long will they
last?"
Rather than showing immediate changes right after the procedure, Ultherapy Prime is a treatment where gradual remodeling takes place over
time.
Today, we will outline the mechanism of Ultherapy Prime, the timeline of changes, and the primary target areas.

Ultherapy Prime utilizes High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology to deliver energy deep into the skin.
Thermal Coagulation Points: It creates thermal coagulation points in specific layers of the skin at a temperature of 60–70°C without
damaging the epidermis, sending a remodeling signal to the tissue.
Collagen Regeneration: Starting from these thermal coagulation points, the skin begins its own process of collagen regeneration and
tissue rearrangement.
Real-time Precision Targeting: The system allows visualization of the skin structure up to a depth of 8mm. Using three specialized
transducers (1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm), it enables detailed energy adjustment tailored to the thickness of each area, from the dermis
to the SMAS (muscular) layer, supporting stable and clear results.

This treatment is not a sudden change like surgery; it is a gradual process where the skin recovers its natural elasticity.
| Timeline | Expected Changes & Characteristics |
|---|---|
| Immediately after ~ 1 month | Minor swelling or a tight sensation may occur, rather than noticeable changes. |
| 1 ~ 2 months | Collagen regeneration begins. The jawline becomes more defined, skin texture smoothes out, and sagging areas are gradually lifted. |
| Around 6 months | Collagen regeneration reaches its peak, resulting in increased satisfaction. (This can vary between 4 to 8 months depending on individual skin characteristics.) |
| Beyond ~ 24 months | The effects can last for 18 to 24 months, gradually and naturally declining after the peak. |
💡 Note
The perceived duration of effects often averages between 6 months and a year. This varies depending on the number of shots (e.g., 300 shots, 600 shots), the treatment area, individual skin condition, and lifestyle habits. A higher number of shots increases the treatment density, which tends to extend the duration of the effects.

A benefit of this treatment is the ability to customize the design for the entire face based on individual concerns.
Jawline (V-line): Redefines the jawline contour, encouraging a tightening effect that can make the face appear smaller.
Nasolabial & Marionette Lines: Addresses lower face wrinkles that appear with age, helping to create a refreshed appearance.

Pain Management: With updated technology, Ultherapy Prime features faster treatment speeds, reducing the overall discomfort
compared to older versions. However, temporary heat or a stinging sensation may occur in areas close to the bone. Numbing cream or
additional pain management programs at the clinic can help alleviate discomfort.
Recovery (Downtime): Mild swelling or redness may occur but usually subsides within a few days. It generally does not interfere with
daily activities, allowing most patients to return to their routine immediately.

Ultherapy Prime is a treatment that requires patience, as it involves waiting for the skin to respond and regenerate rather than causing
sudden changes overnight.
It is a suitable option for those who wish to restore their natural elasticity without an artificial appearance.
If you are considering this treatment, we encourage you to follow the timeline of your skin's gradual transformation rather than rushing for
immediate results.
