Ultherapy Prime Price in Cheongdam, Gangnam, Seoul

Prime is the imaging generation of Ultherapy, and its rate is written per 100 shots for a reason: what the DeepSEE screen shows decides how many lines each zone receives.

The short answer

Why the Ultherapy Prime rate is written per 100 shots

Ultherapy Prime at Dear Clinic is published at ₩400,000 (≈ $285) per 100 shots. The unit is a hundred because a hundred is roughly the grain at which a plan can be changed: a zone is added, a depth is repeated, the neck is brought in, and the quote moves by whole units instead of by guesswork.

Prime is the newer Merz generation. It confirms tissue down to 8 mm where classic Ultherapy visualized to 4.5 mm, carries an ultrasound field twice the size on a display 35% larger with noise reduction, and works about 20% faster. Those upgrades are all about seeing, and seeing is what turns an estimate into a count.

Full detail on the treatment itself — depths, zones, aftercare — sits on the Ultherapy Prime treatment page. Where Prime sits among the other platforms is laid out on the lifting and tightening hub.

Imaging

What DeepSEE imaging adds to a Prime plan and its price

Three upgrades separate Prime from the classic device, and each one shows up in how a count is decided.

PRIME 01

Confirmation down to 8 mm

Classic Ultherapy visualized to 4.5 mm. Prime reads to 8 mm, so thicker skin can be planned on evidence instead of on assumption — the zone gets the lines it needs and no padding.

PRIME 02

A wider field on a larger screen

Twice the ultrasound field on a 35% larger, noise-reduced display. More of the zone is visible at once while the count is being spent.

PRIME 03

About 20% faster delivery

The same count takes less time on the table. For a multi-zone plan that difference is felt across an afternoon, and it is part of why a larger map is practical in one visit.

Prime Rate

How much does Ultherapy Prime cost
for a partial or full-face plan?

The unit is ₩400,000 (≈ $285) per 100 shots, and a plan is priced as however many of those units the map calls for. A single-zone plan sits at the small end, a lower-face map in the middle, a face-and-neck map at the top. The clinic does not sell bundles at a different unit, so scope is the only variable.

Rates as published on the clinic price list. We do not publish a fixed shot count for "full face" here, because the only figure worth printing is the one your scan produces and a printed average would be a different patient's face. Payment is settled in Korean won; the dollar conversion shown with the unit follows an exchange rate. The full menu is on the price list.

Planning

Full-face Prime plans, partial plans and the numbers you have read online

Shot counts circulate on forums as though they were menu items — 530 for a full face, 600 for something else — and patients arrive asking for them by number. At Dear the number is an output, so we would rather show you where it comes from. The EVE Muse 3D capture with five-light-source AI analysis is read zone by zone. Each zone is assigned depths and a count. The counts are added, rounded into 100-shot units, and written on the quote in front of you.

That is why two people asking for "a full face" leave with different quotes. Skin thickness differs. A zone that needs two depth passes doubles its own allocation. A neck brought into the map carries its own count instead of borrowing from the face. If you have a figure in mind from something you read, bring it — the director will tell you whether your map lands anywhere near it, and why it does not if it does not.

Where Prime is the wrong depth for the problem, we do not recommend it. Surface crepiness above an intact SMAS is a radiofrequency question, and a Thermage FLX or Density plan gets priced for you in that same appointment. A comparison of the two mechanisms is written up at Ultherapy vs Thermage.

Dear, Knowhow

What sits behind a Prime quote at Dear Clinic

01 — THE FULL ARSENAL

Prime competes with six platforms in the same room

Thermage FLX, Density, XERF, Onda, New Titanium and Shurink Universe are all here and all published. The device that wins your chart is the one your reading argues for.

02 — DIAGNOSIS FIRST

EVE Muse reading precedes the Prime count

EVE Muse 3D capture and five-light-source AI analysis produce the laxity picture; the DeepSEE screen then confirms, line by line during the session, that the layer under the transducer is the one the map intended. Two imaging steps, one count. Where the two disagree, the session stops and the plan is discussed before the count continues.

03 — DIRECTOR-PERFORMED

Merz-certified hands, named on the certificate

Dr. Jemin Kim and Dr. Seonhaeng Lee hold Merz certification as Ultherapy treatment providers, and Prime sessions are performed by our directors. With focused ultrasound the placement of each line is what shows up months later, so it is not delegated.

Before You Book

What a Prime quote does and does not include

The EVE Muse reading, the director consultation and the written shot count are itemised on the quote you approve before treatment.
Comfort measures and aftercare guidance are itemised on the same quote; anything billed separately is confirmed at consultation.
Risks sit alongside the figure: bruising and raised welts along treated lines, numbness or tingling where a line runs near a nerve, and rarely a temporary weakness in one facial muscle.
Saunas, hot baths and alcohol are worth leaving alone for a few days after a Prime session.
Collagen responds slowly, so the result is assessed over months. Individual results may vary, and no count is a promise about your own outcome.

Open 365 days a year, Sundays and public holidays included, which matters when a trip is short and the scan and the session have to share one afternoon.

FAQ

Ultherapy Prime pricing, asked and answered

How much is Ultherapy Prime per 100 shots at Dear Clinic?
₩400,000 (≈ $285). That is the published base unit, and every Prime plan here is built from it. A quote is the number of units your map comes to, agreed in writing before treatment begins.
Why is Ultherapy Prime priced by shots instead of by session?
Because a session is not a fixed quantity of anything. One face is mapped for a single zone, another for face and neck at several depths, and the ultrasound delivered differs several-fold between them. Counting shots prices the work that is actually done.
Is a 530-shot full-face plan a standard package here?
No standard figure is published for a full face. Numbers like that circulate online as averages drawn from other faces and other maps. Your count is produced by the scan, rounded into 100-shot units and shown to you before you agree to it.
What does DeepSEE imaging change about the plan?
It confirms structures down to 8 mm, where the classic device visualized to 4.5 mm. In practice that means a zone gets the depths it actually needs, and the director can see whether the layer under the transducer is the intended one before each line goes in.
Is Ultherapy Prime more expensive than classic Ultherapy?
The comparison does not arise at this clinic, because only Prime is in the room. What we can say is what Prime adds over the classic device: 8 mm visualization, an ultrasound field twice as wide on a 35% larger noise-reduced display, and roughly 20% faster delivery.
Can I treat only my jawline to keep the Prime cost down?
Yes. Single-zone maps are common and cost fewer units, and a jawline-and-under-chin plan is the most frequently requested of them. Whether a partial map will do what you want is the question the scan answers.
Does the neck cost extra on a Prime plan?
The neck is allocated its own shot count rather than being absorbed into a face total, so adding it adds units. Neck skin is thinner than cheek skin, which is exactly the situation imaging exists for.
Do international patients pay a different Prime rate?
No. The published unit is the same one quoted to Korean patients, with no surcharge for a foreign passport. Settlement is in Korean won and the dollar figure is a conversion.
How long does a Prime session take from arrival to leaving?
Allow roughly two hours end to end for scan, reading, comfort measures and treatment. Larger maps run longer on the table, although Prime delivers about 20% faster than the classic device, which shortens the uncomfortable part.
When will I see what my Prime plan bought?
Some tightening reads early, but the substantive change accrues as collagen remodels, which is a matter of months and varies between individuals. Book early in a long stay if you are travelling, and judge the result late.
What if the director recommends against Prime after the scan?
Then a different plan gets priced. We do not recommend Prime where the reading shows surface laxity over an intact SMAS; radiofrequency is the better spend there, and saying so before a quote is written is part of the consultation.

Scientific Evidence

Published work behind micro-focused ultrasound planning

Micro-focused ultrasound with visualization, the mechanism Prime delivers, has a peer-reviewed record going back more than a decade. The four papers below examine MFU-V for lifting and wrinkle reduction of the décolletage, the wider field of noninvasive ultrasound tightening, a quantitative face-and-neck analysis in Asian patients, and a systematic review of clinical efficacy.

Lu and colleagues matter particularly to shot planning done in Seoul, since skin thickness and healing behaviour differ enough that Asian cohorts are the relevant ones. Each reference carries a resolvable DOI so the original can be read rather than our paraphrase of it.
