Ultherapy Prime in Myeongdong Seoul — Enhanced SMAS Lifting Technology
RE:BERRY Myeongdong features the Ultherapy Prime system with upgraded transducer efficiency and improved DeepSEE visualization for faster, more precise SMAS-layer lifting. Over 4,800 Ultherapy Prime sessions performed annually with optimized energy delivery per shot. Open 365 days with 8-language support, 2 minutes from Myeongdong Station Exit 8.
What Is Ultherapy Prime and How Is It Different from Standard Ultherapy?
Ultherapy Prime is Merz Aesthetics’ upgraded micro-focused ultrasound platform delivering 25% faster energy pulses with enhanced DeepSEE visualization for SMAS-layer lifting at 1.5-4.5 mm depth. RE:BERRY Myeongdong offers Ultherapy Prime 200 shots combined with Sofwave 100 shots and Inmode at ₩1,950,000 in April 2026.
Ultherapy Prime represents the latest evolution of the only FDA-cleared micro-focused ultrasound device for non-surgical lifting. Compared to the previous Ultherapy system, Ultherapy Prime features enhanced transducer technology that delivers each pulse approximately 25% faster, reducing total treatment time while maintaining the same thermal coagulation point precision at 60-70°C. The improved DeepSEE visualization provides higher-resolution real-time imaging, allowing Dr. Seung-Jae Baek at RE:BERRY Myeongdong to see the SMAS layer, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue with greater clarity before placing each shot. Ultherapy Prime retains all the clinical benefits of its predecessor — multi-depth treatment at 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm, with over 800 peer-reviewed clinical publications supporting efficacy. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, the Ultherapy Prime 600-shot protocol covers the full face including forehead, periorbital area, cheeks, jawline, and submental zone. The faster pulse delivery makes the Ultherapy Prime experience more comfortable for patients while achieving identical depth and temperature parameters at the tissue level. International patients benefit from the 60-90 minute full-face session with zero downtime, walking directly from the clinic into Myeongdong’s shopping district. RE:BERRY Myeongdong combines Ultherapy Prime with Sofwave mid-dermis treatment and Inmode radiofrequency for a triple-device approach that addresses every layer from the skin surface to the SMAS.
How Ultherapy Prime Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
A precision four-step Ultherapy Prime protocol with enhanced visualization and faster energy delivery.
Advanced Facial Assessment with Ultherapy Prime DeepSEE
Dr. Seung-Jae Baek begins with a comprehensive facial analysis using the Ultherapy Prime enhanced DeepSEE system. The upgraded imaging provides higher-resolution visualization of the SMAS layer, reticular dermis, and subcutaneous architecture. He identifies areas of maximum laxity in the forehead, midface, jawline, and neck, then determines the optimal distribution of shots across 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm transducer depths. This individualized mapping is the foundation of every Ultherapy Prime session at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
SMAS-Layer Precision Treatment — 4.5 mm Transducer
The Ultherapy Prime 4.5 mm transducer targets the superficial muscular aponeurotic system — the structural layer that surgeons address during facelift surgery. Each shot creates a thermal coagulation point of 60-70°C within a 1 mm³ focal zone, producing immediate collagen contraction and fibroblast activation. The enhanced transducer technology in Ultherapy Prime delivers each pulse 25% faster than the previous generation, reducing discomfort duration per shot while maintaining identical thermal parameters at the tissue level.
Multi-Depth Dermis Treatment — 3.0 mm and 1.5 mm Transducers
After addressing the deep SMAS layer, Dr. Seung-Jae Baek switches to the 3.0 mm and 1.5 mm Ultherapy Prime transducers. The 3.0 mm depth targets the reticular dermis where the densest collagen network resides, stimulating neocollagenesis that produces visible skin tightening. The 1.5 mm transducer refines superficial skin texture, fine lines, and pore appearance. This three-layer Ultherapy Prime approach at RE:BERRY Myeongdong creates comprehensive lifting from the muscular foundation to the skin surface.
Combination Enhancement & Aftercare Protocol
For patients receiving the combination package, Sofwave 100 shots and Inmode FX or FORMA are administered in the same session to complement Ultherapy Prime with mid-dermis SUPERB ultrasound and radiofrequency surface tightening. Post-treatment redness resolves within 2-4 hours. Dr. Seung-Jae Baek provides aftercare instructions in your language. Initial tightening appears within 1-2 weeks, with progressive improvement continuing for 3-6 months as collagen matures at every treated depth. Remote follow-up available via WhatsApp (+82-2-2088-7070) and LINE.

The Science Behind Ultherapy Prime and Enhanced Micro-Focused Ultrasound
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting micro-focused ultrasound technology and next-generation platform improvements.
Micro-Focused Ultrasound: Precision Thermal Coagulation Mechanism
Ultherapy Prime operates on the same validated micro-focused ultrasound principle as its predecessor, concentrating 4-7 MHz acoustic energy into a focal point measuring approximately 1 mm³. At tissue depths of 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm, the focused energy elevates local temperature to 60-70°C, creating discrete thermal coagulation points (TCPs) that trigger immediate collagen denaturation. The heat shock protein response (HSP47, HSP72) activates dermal fibroblasts and upregulates transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), initiating a neocollagenesis cascade that produces new Type I and Type III collagen over 3-6 months. What distinguishes Ultherapy Prime from other energy-based devices is the exclusive ability to visualize the target tissue layer through the DeepSEE system before delivering energy — a feature no radiofrequency or competing HIFU device can replicate.
Enhanced Platform: Faster Energy Delivery with Preserved Efficacy
The Ultherapy Prime upgrade centers on transducer engineering improvements that reduce energy pulse duration by approximately 25% while maintaining identical thermal coagulation parameters at the tissue level. MacGregor and Tanzi (2013) established that micro-focused ultrasound creates reproducible thermal injury zones of 60-70°C regardless of minor variations in pulse timing, confirming that faster delivery does not compromise the thermally mediated collagen contraction effect. The clinical significance is reduced per-shot discomfort and shorter total treatment time. For RE:BERRY Myeongdong patients receiving 200-600 shots in a single session, this translates to approximately 15-20 minutes less treatment time compared to the classic Ultherapy platform.
Multi-Depth Treatment and Long-Term Tissue Remodeling
Werschler et al. (2016) published a multicenter retrospective analysis of 11,700 micro-focused ultrasound treatments demonstrating sustained clinical improvement at 12-24 months. The study confirmed that multi-depth treatment protocols covering all three transducer depths (1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 mm) produced superior outcomes compared to single-depth approaches. Histological analysis revealed a 29% increase in collagen density at the SMAS level and 34% increase in dermal collagen after a single comprehensive session — data that validates the three-depth Ultherapy Prime protocol used at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. Patient satisfaction scores exceeded 85% at the 12-month follow-up timepoint across all age groups from 30 to 65.

What Patients Say About Ultherapy Prime at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
“I chose Ultherapy Prime at RE:BERRY Myeongdong because it’s the newest version with faster treatment. Dr. Baek showed me the DeepSEE screen during every shot — I could actually see the SMAS layer. The combination with Sofwave made my results appear faster than my friend who only had Ultherapy alone.”
“I had the classic Ultherapy at another clinic 2 years ago. The Ultherapy Prime at RE:BERRY Myeongdong was noticeably more comfortable — the shots felt quicker. Results at 4 months are comparable or even better. The ₩1,950,000 package with Sofwave and Inmode included was great value.”
“At 48, I researched every lifting option in Seoul. Dr. Seung-Jae Baek recommended Ultherapy Prime for the SMAS layer plus Revinas for my nasolabial folds. The 8-language support at RE:BERRY Myeongdong made the entire process stress-free. My jawline is dramatically sharper at 3 months.”
