When you search for Ultherapy Prime near Gangnam Station, you'll likely notice a significant price difference. Based on 300 shots, prices range from the low 800,000 won to over 1,300,000 won, but this difference is not simply due to discount rates. Whether genuine products and proper quantities are used, whether the physician performs the procedure directly, and the safety management system determine the actual value of the price. This article is not a direct comparison of specific medical institutions, but rather provides guidance on the standards you should check first when choosing Ultherapy Prime in the Gangnam Station area.
Gangnam Station Ultherapy Prime Price, What to Check Before Looking for 'Affordable Options'
Ultherapy Prime is a focused ultrasound medical device supplied by Merz Aesthetics, and in Korea, authenticity can be verified through QR code or NFC 'Touch Prime' method. Whether this authentication process is available or not creates a difference in actual quality even with the same name treatment, serving as the first criterion.
The market price near Gangnam Station is formed around 800,000 to 1,300,000 won based on 300 shots. Even with the same number of shots, the perceived value differs depending on whether ▪ genuine tips were used ▪ the physician performed the procedure directly ▪ there is a safety monitoring system in place during sleep anesthesia. Rather than simply chasing lower prices, checking the criteria below first will actually be more helpful.
Mini Q&A
▪ Where can I verify authentic product certification?
You can directly ask whether the physician or staff conducts the process of confirming the QR code and NFC tag in front of the patient's eyes when opening the tip box before the procedure.
▪ Why do prices differ even with the same 300 shots?
The price structure can differ depending on different conditions such as treatment provider composition (direct by physician vs. delegation), whether sleep anesthesia is included, and whether an anesthesiologist is stationed on-site.
Why Ultherapy Prime Is Different from General Ultrasound Lifting
According to Merz Aesthetics Korea official website, Ultherapy Prime is a focused ultrasound stimulation system approved by the FDA and MFDS. The most distinct difference when compared to existing Ulthera equipment is the real-time imaging confirmation function based on DeepSEE™, which allows energy delivery while directly visualizing the SMAS fascia layer during treatment.
I'll organize the main differences in the table below.
Comparison Item | General Ultrasound Lifting (HIFU Series) | Ultherapy Prime |
|---|---|---|
Imaging Confirmation Function | None or limited | DeepSEE™ Real-time Imaging Confirmation |
Maximum Visualization Depth | Varies by device | Maximum 8mm |
Treatment Speed | Baseline | Approximately 20% improvement compared to previous |
Approval Status | Varies by device | FDA and MFDS Approval Completed |
Primary Target Layer | Skin surface to mid-layer | SMAS Fascia Layer Focused |
Authentic Product Verification Method | Many cases without separate authentication | QR Code and NFC 'Touch Prime' |
The HIFU method works by creating a thermal coagulation point of 60-70°C inside the tissue without touching the skin surface, inducing tissue contraction and collagen and elastin regeneration. According to related clinical data, this response involves both immediate contraction and long-term regeneration processes, with effects maximizing at 2-3 months post-treatment and typically lasting an average of 6 months to 1 year.
However, appropriate treatment and number of shots vary depending on the degree of skin sagging, fat volume, and pain sensitivity, so the process of designing the area and number of shots after sufficient diagnosis is important.
Shinyu clinic's Approach to Ultherapy Prime Treatment
Merz's NFC 'Touch Prime' campaign, also introduced in Daily Pharm reporting, is designed as an authentic product verification procedure through security NFC chip contact and QR tip authentication, allowing consumers to directly verify authenticity. At Shinyu clinic, which pursues meticulous treatment directly by the physician and customized lifting design for each individual, this authentic and proper quantity verification process is conducted with the patient before the procedure.
The treatment flow for Ultherapy Prime at Shinyu clinic is as follows:
▪ Pre-consultation — Design the number of shots and applicable areas based on the degree of skin sagging, fat volume, and pain sensitivity
▪ Authentic Product Verification — Conduct QR code verification in front of the patient, confirm opening of the genuine tip box
▪ Anesthesia Option Selection — Choice between cream anesthesia or sleep anesthesia (if sleep anesthesia is chosen, an anesthesiologist is stationed in the treatment room)
▪ Direct Physician Treatment — 1:1 customized lifting design executed directly by the physician
▪ Private Recovery — All care rooms configured as single-person rooms for a comfortable recovery environment
▪ Post-treatment Guidance — Provide instructions on precautions after treatment and when to expect results
Based on transparent treatment pricing standards, the August 2026 event prices (including VAT) are 790,000 won for 300 shots and 1,590,000 won for 600 shots, with 330,000 won applied for each additional 100 shots. Sleep anesthesia has an anesthesiologist stationed in the treatment room only when this option is selected, and is distinguished from cream anesthesia treatment.
Things You Must Check Before the Procedure
It's good to first understand that Ultherapy Prime can show different results depending on the practitioner's expertise and the precision of skin structure analysis, even with the same device and the same number of shots.

Q&A
Q1. What's the difference between 300 shots and 600 shots of Ultherapy Prime near Gangnam Station?
300 shots are suitable for basic full-face coverage, while 600 shots are appropriate for wider areas such as forehead, eye area, cheeks, and jawline, or for cases with more severe sagging. Rather than simply increasing the number of shots, the design varies depending on the degree of skin sagging and target areas, so the process of first checking the current skin condition during consultation is important.
Q2. How can I verify that Ultherapy Prime is authentic?
You can verify through Merz Aesthetics' NFC 'Touch Prime' campaign. Before the procedure, you can tag the NFC chip attached to the tip box with a smartphone or scan the QR code to immediately confirm authenticity. It's good to ask in advance whether this process is conducted directly in front of the patient.
Q3. Ultherapy Prime treatment hurts, but is sleep anesthesia also available?
For those sensitive to pain, you can choose the sleep anesthesia option. At Shinyu clinic, when sleep anesthesia is selected, an anesthesiologist specializing in anesthesiology and pain medicine remains in the treatment room to maintain a safe 1:1 monitoring system. This is a separate option distinct from cream anesthesia treatment, so please mention it in advance during consultation.
Q4. When do Ultherapy Prime effects start, and how long do they last?
Some immediate changes may be felt immediately after treatment, but as collagen regeneration responses accumulate, effects tend to maximize at 2-3 months post-treatment. The maintenance period varies depending on individual skin condition and the number of shots. Clinical data reports average maintenance of 6 months to 1 year. Lifestyle management and additional treatment cycles will be guided during consultation.
Q5. Is it better to receive Ultherapy Prime and Thermage FLX together near Gangnam Station?
If Ultherapy Prime works at the SMAS fascia layer depth, Thermage FLX specializes in collagen regeneration and elasticity improvement of the dermis layer through radiofrequency, acting in a mutually complementary manner at different layers. You can also configure it all in one visit through Shinyu clinic's one-day level lifting package (Ultherapy Prime + Thermage FLX + Rejuran Healer + Skin Botox), and the combination suitable for your skin condition can be determined through consultation.
⚠️ The possibility of side effects from the procedure may vary depending on individual skin condition.
