Ultherapy PRIME in Daegu: Results, Pulse Counts and Recovery Planning
Read the Korean originalSummary At the Ultherapy PRIME consultation, the treatment area to be confirmed by ultrasound imaging and the post-procedure evaluation schedule are determined. The observation point of the study, the clinic's reoperation guidance, and the individual's maintenance period are different information.
Direct answer
The MFU-V study assessed changes at 90 and 180 days. Therefore, rather than confirming the results with same-day photos alone, it is reasonable to consult about a three-month evaluation plan. The 6-12 month treatment cycle on the official website does not mean that the effect is guaranteed for each individual.
Before your consultation
- Check the plan dividing the number of treatment pulses by treatment area and depth.
- Distinguish between the purpose of approximately 3-month evaluation and further observation.
- We inform you of your existing dermal filler, thread, and surgery history and the treatment area where you are concerned about skin fading.
- You will receive instructions on how to control your pain and how to contact you after the procedure.
General information, not a personal diagnosis or treatment plan. Suitability, risks and recovery require an individual consultation.
What to check first at Ultherapy PRIME?
The official guide introduces how to treat the target treatment area while looking at ultrasound images. The important thing in a consultation is not only to hear the name of the equipment, but also to hear an explanation of which treatment areas on your face to treat and which to avoid. Even with the same jawline problem, sagging skin and changes in facial volume may occur together.
You may also be asked how they verify genuine equipment and supplies, and whether the number of treatment pulses actually used is recorded. Checking whether the total number of treatment pulses listed on the package is divided evenly across the face or distributed differently depending on the needs of each treatment area will help you understand differences that cannot be seen from the price tag alone.

Why are 3-month photos more important than same-day photos?
The retrospective MFU-V study, which enrolled 48 patients, evaluated 90- or 180-day outcomes. This means that the results of the procedure have been tracked and confirmed over a certain period of time. It is difficult to view same-day pulling or swelling as the same as long-term changes, or to immediately judge it as a failure just because the changes are small within a few days.
However, this study is not a comparative test between Prime and the previous model. Just because the technology families used in the study are similar does not mean that the new model is several times better. During the consultation, it is also a good idea to check the differences between the model to be used and the research object.

Is the 6-12 month treatment period a maintenance period?
The clinic's official information lists a treatment time of 30 to 50 minutes and a treatment cycle of 6 to 12 months. This number is a reference value for the schedule provided by the clinic. Length of stay, including anesthesia or waiting time, point of return visit, and actual duration of satisfaction are not the same concept.
It is a good idea to separately write down the procedure date, progress evaluation date, and time to review the next procedure in the schedule. The next treatment is not determined by the calendar, but is decided after checking remaining concerns and previous reactions. There is no need to confirm additional procedures just because the appointment period is over and the condition is satisfactory.

Is having a higher number of treatment pulses beneficial to anyone?
Number of treatment pulses is one of the items that describes the scope of treatment. Comparing numbers without looking at the size of your face, treatment area to focus on, existing volume, and practitioner's plan makes it difficult to know what you are actually getting. When receiving a quote, try to use the same conditions starting from whether it is the entire face or the jaw line center.
For example, if you are most concerned about your cheeks looking sunken, you might first ask how they evaluate the treatment area. The goals of the consultation become clear when you communicate both the desired and undesired changes after the procedure. We recommend that you do not copy the number of treatment pulses used in other people's reviews as your own recommendation.
How should I schedule my recovery?
The official website informs that it is possible to return to daily life, but also explains temporary swelling, bruising, and redness. There's a difference between being able to go to work and not being able to see a trace during an important shoot. If you have a shoot or event date, let them know before booking.
On the day of the procedure, keep the follow-up care information you received and check to be notified if any symptoms occur. If you have symptoms that are different from the progress provided or if discomfort increases, it is better to accurately report your symptoms and starting point to the treatment facility rather than comparing it with other people's recovery photos on the Internet.

How much of my history of other procedures should I disclose?
If you have had dermal filler, thread lift, fat grafting, or surgery, please list the date, treatment area, and product name to the extent possible. If you don't remember the exact name, you can ask for previous records or say you don't know. There is no need to arbitrarily confirm and convey information of uncertain memory.
If you plan to have multiple procedures in one visit, ask them to separate the goals and evaluation points for each. If changes occur after simultaneous treatment, it may be difficult to distinguish which treatment is having the effect, so we can also advise on the option of observing them step by step.
Records to be kept when comparing consultation details
After the consultation, organize the treatment area, total cost, whether anesthesia is included, consumables used, and whether progress visits are included on one page. The aim is to compare whether two offers with different prices actually mean the same range of treatment. If you only record the discount rate, it is difficult to check the conditions again later.
If possible, take before and after photos with the same lighting, angle, and facial expression, and also record any changes in weight or other procedures. If you organize the changes seen in the photos and the discomfort or satisfaction you feel, it is easy to discuss whether to wait or do maintenance at the next consultation.
When booking an Ultherapy PRIME consultation at Jungang-ro
If you are looking for Ultherapy PRIME clinic in Daegu Jungang-ro, first check the actual equipment to be used and consultation times. Even if you visit Dongseong-ro on the day you have an appointment, leave time to have the number of treatment pulses, anesthesia, and recovery plan explained, and tell the medical staff how much time is left until the important event.
FAQ
If the effect is small the day after the procedure, do I need to receive additional treatment?
Long-term results are not confirmed on the same day or the next day alone. Get a progress evaluation of your existing plan first.
How many times better is Prime than the existing Ultherapy?
The MFU-V study cited in this article is not a comparative study of superiority between models and is therefore not expressed in multiples.
Can I receive it right before the event?
Returning to daily life and being free from bruising and swelling are different. Let us know the event date and discuss recovery time.
