Can you get Ultherapy Prime and SoftWave together near Gangnam Station?
To give you the conclusion first, Shinyu clinic near Gangnam Station possesses both Ultherapy Prime and SoftWave procedures and can design a combination treatment.
The reason these two procedures are receiving joint attention is that they work on different skin layers. Ultherapy Prime uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology to deliver thermal energy to the SMAS fascia layer (at depths of 4.5mm, 3.0mm, and 1.5mm), inducing tissue contraction and collagen regeneration of sagging tissue. According to Rapportian reporting, Ultherapy Prime is characterized by enabling precise treatment by confirming different skin layer depths for each patient through real-time ultrasound imaging technology and delivering energy accordingly. SoftWave, by contrast, concentrates energy on the mid-dermis (1.5mm) to induce collagen and elastin regeneration, with the two procedures each stimulating complementary layers.
However, combination treatment is not uniformly applied to everyone. Since the treatment design varies depending on individual skin sagging degree, volume status, and skin thickness, customized design through prior consultation is a prerequisite.
Q. Do you need to receive the two procedures separately or can you get them at once?
Depending on skin condition and treatment purpose, you can either have them done on the same day or proceed sequentially with intervals. Which method is appropriate will be determined after confirming your skin condition during consultation.
How are Ultherapy Prime and SoftWave different, and why are they used together?
Both procedures utilize ultrasound but differ in energy delivery method and target layer. Understanding this difference makes it easier to grasp why combination design is discussed.
Category | Ultherapy Prime | SoftWave |
|---|---|---|
Technology Method | HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) | SUPERB™ Parallel Ultrasound Beam |
Primary Target Layer | SMAS Fascia Layer (4.5mm, 3.0mm, 1.5mm) | Mid-Dermis (1.5mm) |
Thermal Energy Form | Focused Thermal Coagulation Point (60~70°C) | Cylindrical Thermal Energy (Wide Area) |
Primary Effect | Deep Structure Lifting, Tissue Contraction | Dermal Elasticity Recovery, Fine Line Improvement |
Fat Layer Impact | Design varies depending on target depth | Known to not affect the fat layer |
Real-time Imaging | DeepSee Ultrasound Image Confirmation | - |
The core reason combination is discussed is role division. If Ultherapy Prime handles 'deep structure lifting' by pulling up the SMAS fascia layer, SoftWave takes on the role of recovering dermal surface elasticity. According to related medical content, SoftWave's HIPS method is known to stimulate a wider area with each application, acting uniformly across overall skin texture.
According to clinical data, following Ultherapy Prime treatment, as collagen regeneration becomes active, elasticity improvement and lifting effects tend to appear gradually from 1-2 months after treatment. Synergistic effects can be expected with SoftWave's dermal regeneration effects, which is why combination treatment is sometimes considered.
However, for those concerned about facial hollowing or excessive stimulation of the fat layer, sole SoftWave treatment or combination design can be considered, while conversely, if sagging is pronounced, prioritizing deeper design with sole Ultherapy Prime treatment may be more appropriate.
Shinyu clinic's Approach to Ultherapy Prime + SoftWave Treatment
According to EMD (medical specialist media) reporting, Ultherapy Prime's multi-layer skin targeting using real-time ultrasound imaging technology has been introduced as a key advancement in precision lifting. To practically apply this technological characteristic in treatment, equipment possession must be accompanied by the practitioner's skill level and protocol.
At Shinyu clinic, the director personally performs meticulous treatment, and designs multi-layer combination of the two ultrasound procedures through verified authentic products and appropriate quantities with personalized lifting design.
The treatment process is structured as follows:
✓ Pre-treatment Skin Condition Confirmation — Design treatment combination and shot count based on sagging stage, skin thickness, and volume status
✓ Authentic Tip Opening Confirmation Before Patient — Authentic Ultherapy Prime tip is opened directly before your eyes to confirm authentic product use
✓ DeepSee Ultrasound Imaging Real-time Confirmation — Adjust energy delivery path while confirming individual skin layer depth
✓ Director Direct Treatment — 1:1 system where the director personally executes from consultation through treatment completion
✓ Private 1-Person Room Treatment — All management rooms are composed of independent private rooms
✓ Sleep Anesthesia Option Available — When sleep anesthesia is selected, an anesthesiology specialist is stationed in the treatment room for safety monitoring
If you fear the procedure or are sensitive to pain, you can discuss the sleep anesthesia option during consultation.
Caution is needed for these individuals
While Ultherapy Prime and SoftWave combination can be an effective treatment option, it is not equally suitable for all skin conditions. If you fall under the following items, please be sure to consult thoroughly with medical staff before treatment.
✓ Those with severe sagging or low subcutaneous fat — Energy delivery path design changes, and sole deep design may be prioritized over combination treatment
✓ Those who recently received filler treatment — Focused ultrasound energy path planning may differ, requiring adjustment of treatment order and intervals
✓ When performing both treatments consecutively — Skin stimulation can accumulate, so medical staff judgment based on clinical data is important
✓ Those who are pregnant or nursing — Consultation with medical staff is mandatory before ultrasound energy treatment
✓ Those with metal implants in the treatment area — Separate confirmation is necessary when applying ultrasound energy to that area
✓ Those with skin infection, wounds, or inflammation — Treatment should be considered after skin condition stabilizes
✓ Those with keloid-prone skin — Responses to thermal stimulation may vary individually, so prior consultation is essential
Additionally, according to clinical data, SoftWave's optimal energy intensity setting varies depending on individual skin condition, so skin condition confirmation before treatment affects both effectiveness and safety.

Gangnam Station Lifting Treatment, curious about the combination right for you?
If you're curious about what's right for you, check with Shinyu clinic consultation.
Whether the combination of Ultherapy Prime and SoftWave is actually suitable for your skin can only be determined after directly confirming your individual skin sagging stage, thickness, and volume status. Clinical data also shows that the decision to combine the two procedures and shot count design varies depending on individual skin characteristics.
At Shinyu clinic, you can confirm the cost structure clearly in advance with transparent treatment pricing, and discuss whether to have treatment on the day of consultation. Both procedures are conducted in a 1:1 customized system with the director performing treatment personally.
Whether you are considering lifting treatment for the first time, were previously unsatisfied with treatment effects, or want to specifically confirm whether combining these two procedures is right for your situation, we recommend checking your suitable direction through consultation first.
Curious about these things
Q1. Can you get Ultherapy Prime and SoftWave together on the same day?
Depending on skin condition and sagging degree, same-day combination may be possible in some cases, while sequential treatment with intervals may be more appropriate in others. Which method is correct will be determined after directly checking your skin condition during consultation.
Q2. When will effects appear if you combine the two treatments?
According to clinical data, Ultherapy Prime's collagen regeneration effects tend to appear gradually from 1-2 months post-treatment. SoftWave's dermal regeneration effects also develop gradually over weeks to months, so it's better to observe changes from a longer-term perspective rather than the short term.
Q3. I'm concerned about facial hollowing—is SoftWave safer?
SoftWave targets the mid-dermis (1.5mm) and is known to not affect the fat layer, making it a treatment option considered by those concerned about facial hollowing. However, since optimal energy settings vary by individual skin condition, please be sure to confirm suitability through consultation.
Q4. How do you find a place near Gangnam Station where you can receive both treatments?
It's important to first confirm whether both treatment devices are available and whether the director personally performs treatment. Shinyu clinic is located near Yangjae Station (256 Gangnam-daero) and operates with both Ultherapy Prime and SoftWave available, with a director-direct treatment system.
