Ultherapy PRIME in Daegu: real-time ultrasound imaging and treatment planning

Read the Korean original

Summary Explains the role that Ultherapy PRIME's real-time imaging function plays in identifying the treatment area and tissue.

Key information

Ultherapy PRIME ultrasound imaging helps the practitioner assess structures beneath the skin while planning treatment. Imaging does not guarantee a uniform depth or pulse count for every area, or a complication-free outcome.

Before your consultation

  • Therapeutic ultrasound and imaging
  • Differences in tissue thickness
  • Image interpretation and clinical judgment

General information, not a personal diagnosis or treatment plan. Suitability, risks and recovery require an individual consultation.

Therapeutic ultrasound and imaging

Although the equipment's treatment function and image confirmation function are connected, they need to be understood separately. Imaging is used to identify tissue surrounding the target, and treatment energy is delivered to the planned area. Manufacturer's functional descriptions are confirmation of equipment characteristics and are not independent evidence of superior results over other equipment.

Differences in tissue thickness

Skin and underlying tissue thickness vary across the same face. Another person’s treatment depth or pulse count cannot simply be copied. Tell the clinician which areas have low volume and which features you want to preserve, then discuss the plan based on imaging and examination.

Image interpretation and clinical judgment

Seeing the screen and interpreting that information appropriately are not the same thing. Many factors, including understanding the anatomy, contact status, and selection of the treatment area, are taken into consideration. Imaging should not be taken as an indication of no pain or side effects; expected responses and contact criteria should also be explained.

Connecting treatment-pulse counts to the plan

Total pulse count is only one part of a treatment plan. Break down “full face” into specific areas and identify which should be treated first or excluded. A plan with more pulses is not automatically better than one with fewer pulses.

Recording the areas treated

It is helpful for follow-up consultations if you keep the equipment name, procedure date, treatment area, discomfort symptoms, and progress confirmation date. If you notice any changes in the way your skin feels or looks, please let us know without waiting until your due date. The process of reflecting the reaction after the previous procedure in the next plan is more important than simple repetition.

Using this information in a Dongseong-ro consultation

In Daegu Dongseong-ro Ultherapy PRIME consultation, please check the manufacturer's function description and the clinic's actual treatment plan. It is recommended that you consider the consultation, preparation, and progress check time separately according to the schedule of your visit at Jungang-ro, and receive an explanation by linking the number of treatment pulses in the official menu with the range that applies to you.

Are there any side effects if I see the video?

Seeing the screen and interpreting that information appropriately are not the same thing. Many factors, including understanding the anatomy, contact status, and selection of the treatment area, are taken into consideration.
