Winter Skin Firmness, The Effects of Ulthera Prime

##Early Winter, Crossing the Boundary of Skin Health with ‘Ulthera Prime’ Lifting Procedures
High-resolution ultrasound-based customized lifting solutions gain attention during winter, where lack of moisture and reduced elasticity are rapidly noticeable.

As winter approaches, skin sensitivity increases. Dry air, cold winds, and sudden temperature changes weaken the skin’s moisture barrier and reduce elasticity. This is why moisturization alone is often insufficient during seasonal transitions. Recently, non-surgical lifting procedures, particularly ‘Ulthera Prime,’ are gaining attention as a new method to combat these changes. The desire to maintain naturally youthful skin is growing, and interest in this procedure, which allows for personalized approaches per individual, is increasing.

###The Onset of Dryness and Temperature Changes: Initiating Skin Elasticity Decline

Entering the brink of winter, the skin undergoes faster changes than expected. Particularly, dry air and drastic temperature shifts within a day dismantle the skin barrier and accelerate moisture loss. In such an environment, it’s challenging to maintain healthy skin with general skincare products alone.

Kim Ho-jin, director (Incheon Cheongna Derma Clinic), shared the following insights:

"As the structure of collagen in the skin weakens, signs such as sagging, wrinkles, and broken contours become prominent."

As such, transitional season skin is undergoing deeper changes beyond visible dryness. Particularly, the issue of reduced collagen density highlights the necessity of lifting procedures.

###‘Ulthera Prime,’ Surpassing Existing Technologies

The method gaining attention for lifting the face non-surgically is ‘Ulthera Prime.’ It is an upgraded version of Ulthera approved by the US FDA, involving the precise delivery of ultrasound energy to the deep SMAS layer of the skin to stimulate collagen regeneration.

Director Kim Ho-jin explained the mechanism of this procedure:

"It is a lifting procedure that accurately delivers heat to the SMAS layer within the skin using ultrasound energy, fundamentally lifting sagging skin. It directly stimulates the sagging elastic structure of the skin and induces collagen regeneration."

Thanks to this principle, the elasticity of the skin revives from deep within, and the post-procedure effects are evaluated to be natural and long-lasting.

###Differentiated Technology: Wider and More Precise Coverage

One of the biggest advantages of ‘Ulthera Prime’ is its wider coverage and precise energy control compared to its predecessors. It goes beyond merely improving device performance to enable customized treatments according to skin thickness, elasticity, and problem area depth.

"By adjusting energy precisely according to the characteristics and concerns of the treatment area, the lifting effect can be maximized, and collagen generation can be more stably promoted for natural procedure results." – Director Kim Ho-jin

Ulthera Prime can be applied to various areas such as eye wrinkles, double chin, jawline correction, and nasolabial folds. Particularly as it can improve the entire facial contour, it can be optimized according to an individual’s skin condition rather than following a standard individuals basis.

###Short Treatment, Quick Recovery… A Practical Lifting Alternative

With Ulthera Prime, the short treatment time and precise energy delivery reduce the burden for patients. Compared to traditional Ulthera, pain has decreased, and multi-layer targeted lifting is possible without epidermal damage—targeting dermis, subcutaneous fat layer, and fascial layers simultaneously.

The ultrasound observation range extends up to 8mm, enabling real-time assessment of deep skin layers during the procedure. This high-resolution image-based customized approach enhances the procedure’s safety and efficiency to a higher level.

"By adjusting the ultrasound intensity and depth according to each patient’s skin thickness and elasticity, more secure customized lifting is possible." – Director Kim Ho-jin

###The Outcome Depends on the Practitioner’s Skill

Although Ulthera Prime is an advanced technology, no matter how superior the device, outcomes vary based on the practitioner’s proficiency. Even using the same equipment, differences in enhancement intensity and naturalness of elasticity improvements arise from the expert’s perspective, hand detail, and energy control ability.
