Myeongdong Ultherapy Prime: What Should You Consider When Choosing the Number of Shots?
Hello.
I’m Lee Won-jin, Director of Kind Global Clinic, and I take the time to listen to each person’s story. Today, I’ll discuss the number of shots and results—topics that people considering Myeongdong Ultherapy Prime often ask about.
Myeongdong Ultherapy Prime: Does Ultherapy deliver
better results with more shots?
Why do results differ from person to person?
You may have these questions as you look into Ultherapy.
The results people report can vary from one review to another.
Even after a consultation, it can be difficult to decide when different shot counts are recommended.
In that situation, it’s natural to wonder, “Since I’m having the treatment anyway, wouldn’t it be better to get more shots?”
Do results improve as the number of shots increases?
Today, we’ll take a closer look at why results can differ after Ultherapy Prime treatment.

1. How does Ultherapy work?
How ultrasound lifting works
Ultherapy uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to concentrate and deliver energy to a specific point.
It may help to picture a magnifying glass focusing sunlight to create heat at a particular spot.
The key principle is that energy is delivered to the targeted depth rather than damaging the skin’s surface.
So which layer of the skin does the energy reach?
The main target is the “SMAS layer,” which helps support the face.
The SMAS layer is tissue beneath the skin that supports the structure of the face.
When the support provided by this layer weakens, the face may appear to sag overall.
Ultherapy applies thermal stimulation to this layer to induce a contraction response.
The treatment aims for gradual changes in skin firmness as collagen regenerates afterward.
2. What makes Ultherapy Prime different?
Myeongdong Ultherapy Prime is an upgraded version of the previous device, with improved precision.
1) The screen for viewing skin structure in real time is larger, and
2) It can show deeper layers of the skin, and image resolution has also improved.
The practitioner can check the skin’s layers while planning the treatment, which may affect differences in the results.
In simple terms, whereas practitioners previously had to rely to some extent on their experience and intuition,
they can now see the skin’s structure and plan the treatment more precisely.

Factors that affect treatment results
After hearing how it works, you might think that delivering more energy would produce greater results.
However, the skin’s response cannot be judged simply by the number of shots.
How much energy the skin can tolerate varies depending on the area of the face and each person’s individual condition.
If stimulation is repeated beyond what the skin can handle, rather than enhancing the results,
it may place a cumulative burden on the SMAS layer,
leading to an unexpected response.
For example,
if too much energy is concentrated on thin, sensitive areas such as the cheeks or around the mouth,
→ the area may look sunken, with less noticeable volume, or the balance between the two sides may feel unnatural.
On the other hand, even if sagging is noticeable, setting the energy too low based only on safety limits
→ may mean you don’t notice enough change, potentially lowering your satisfaction with the treatment.
The research findings introduced above also illustrate a similar point.
The study examined the “degree of improvement in skin firmness” after high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) lifting.
It found that even under the same energy conditions, areas with thinner skin may show a stronger response,
while areas with more pronounced sagging may show relatively less change,
Myeongdong Ultherapy Prime: Results may vary
depending on the characteristics of the tissue in each area.
What depth the energy reached—in other words, whether it reached the SMAS layer
The thickness and firmness of the tissue
Whether the energy was distributed with the facial structure in mind
These factors show that results can vary depending on “individual circumstances.”
Therefore, with Ultherapy Prime, what matters is not simply the “total amount of energy,”
but how the energy is planned and delivered, which affects the results.
This difference in treatment planning can explain why results may vary even when the same 300 shots are used.
That’s all for today.
I hope this has helped you understand a little more about why results can differ from one review to another^^
When looking into Myeongdong Ultherapy Prime, rather than comparing only the number of shots,
it’s important to consider how the energy will be planned based on your facial structure.
Asking about this during your consultation may help you decide whether to proceed with the treatment.
Thank you for reading this long post. This was Lee Won-jin.
