Ultherapy Pix Prime is a next-generation HIFU device that expands the ultrasound observation depth to a maximum of 8mm compared to the existing Ultherapy lineup. If you are looking to undergo treatment with this device in the Gangnam, Apgujeong, and Cheongdam areas, the ability to establish a customized plan based on clinical experience, rather than equipment possession alone, becomes the core criterion for your choice.
▪ Ultherapy Pix Prime is an FDA-approved device capable of precise energy delivery to the SMAS fascia layer through DeepSEE™ real-time ultrasound imaging technology.
▪ It is a device with publicly disclosed clinical records exceeding 3 million procedures worldwide, making it equipment with accumulated clinical evidence.
▪ Since tip distribution design varies according to skin thickness and fat layer distribution, it is recommended to first confirm whether the treatment environment has a pre-procedure detailed diagnosis and individual-specific design process.
Getting Ultherapy Pix Prime Treatment in Gangnam — Selection Criteria for Apgujeong and Cheongdam
Ultherapy Pix Prime is a next-generation HIFU device officially announced by Muller Aesthetics Korea, which has obtained FDA approval. Equipped with DeepSEE™ real-time ultrasound imaging technology, it allows for real-time confirmation of skin structure during treatment while delivering energy, and the medical publication MD Today has introduced this technology as evidence of precise treatment capability. According to Muller Aesthetics Korea's official announcement, the cumulative number of procedures worldwide exceeds 3 million, and clinical data continues to accumulate.
When seeking treatment based on this device in the Gangnam, Apgujeong, and Cheongdam areas, the point to focus on is the ability to establish customized plans based on clinical experience rather than the equipment generation itself. Since tip distribution design varies according to skin thickness and fat layer distribution, it is recommended to first confirm whether the treatment environment has a systematically organized pre-procedure diagnosis process.
Mini Q&A
Q. Is Ultherapy Pix Prime available everywhere in Gangnam?
A. Ultherapy Pix Prime is an expanding device in supply, but equipment possession and clinical operational capability are separate matters. It is recommended to confirm your choice based on whether there is a treatment system capable of analyzing individual anatomical structures such as skin thickness and fat layer distribution and customizing tip distribution and energy design accordingly.
What is Ultherapy Pix Prime — How Does it Differ from Existing Ultherapy
The main differences between Ultherapy Pix Prime and existing Ultherapy, organized by category, are as follows.
| Category | Existing Ultherapy | Ultherapy Pix Prime |
|---|---|---|
| Ultrasound Observation Depth | Maximum 4.5mm | Expanded to Maximum 8mm |
| Imaging Technology | DeepSEE™ Standard | DeepSEE™ 3D Real-time Imaging, Noise Reduction Technology Applied |
| Skin Layer Analysis Clarity | Standard | Improved Clarity through Noise Reduction |
| Treatment Speed | Standard | Speed Improved through Enhanced Transducer Application |
| Thermal Coagulation Point (TCP) | SMAS Fascia Layer 60~70°C | Same, Precise Energy Delivery Implemented |
According to the medical media Rapportian, Ultherapy Pix Prime extends the existing Ultherapy's 4.5mm observation limitation to a maximum of 8mm, applies noise reduction technology to increase clarity in skin layer analysis, and is reported to contribute to reduced risk of adverse effects. It forms a 60~70°C thermal coagulation point (TCP) in the SMAS fascia layer to induce collagen regeneration, with the basic principle identical to existing Ultherapy, but with improvements in the precision of energy delivery and treatment speed.
However, treatment effects vary according to individual skin condition, fat layer thickness, and lifestyle habits, and related clinical data does not recommend treatment without pre-procedure diagnosis even in cases of thick skin. Pre-procedure diagnosis and tip distribution design must necessarily be performed first.

A. Sleep anesthesia costs are included as standard in V&MJ DERMATOLOGY's Ultherapy and Thermage treatments. A board-certified anesthesiologist is stationed on-site to administer sleep anesthesia, and you can rest in a dedicated recovery system after treatment before going home.
Limitations and Scope of Application — Essential Items to Confirm Before Ultherapy Pix Prime Treatment
Ultherapy Pix Prime is a non-surgical lifting procedure targeting the SMAS fascia layer, suitable for early to mid-stage skin sagging stages. It is recommended to confirm the following items before treatment.
▪ Pre-procedure diagnosis of skin thickness and fat layer distribution: According to clinical data, excessive use of deep tips in areas with very thin fat layers may cause cheek hollowing, so individual skin thickness diagnosis must be performed first.
▪ Confirmation of tip distribution design process: Energy transmission depth varies according to tip type such as 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm, and according to related clinical data, tip distribution design reflecting individual anatomical structures is a key factor influencing treatment results.
▪ Confirmation of expected adverse effects disclosure: As guided in V&MJ Dermatology's official content, reactions such as puffiness, redness, heat sensation, and asymmetry after treatment vary depending on individual skin condition, and it is important to confirm whether such pre-procedure disclosure occurs.
▪ Confirmation of authentic product verification and post-care management system: It is recommended to confirm during the consultation stage whether authentic tips are used, how treatment records are maintained, and whether a post-treatment care program exists.
▪ Diagnosis of degree of sagging and suitability: In cases where sagging is advanced, it may be difficult to expect sufficient improvement from non-surgical lifting alone, and in such cases, it is necessary to consult sufficiently with the medical staff to set realistic expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What are the specific differences between Ultherapy Pix Prime and existing Ultherapy?
Ultherapy Pix Prime has expanded ultrasound observation depth from the existing maximum 4.5mm to a maximum of 8mm, and is a next-generation device with improved skin layer analysis clarity through the application of DeepSEE™ 3D real-time imaging and noise reduction technology. The basic principle of forming thermal coagulation points in the SMAS fascia layer to induce collagen regeneration is the same as existing Ultherapy, but improvements have been made in the precision of energy delivery and skin layer visualization.
Q2. How do you verify authentic products for Ultherapy Pix Prime treatment in Gangnam Apgujeong and Cheongdam?
Authentic product verification can be confirmed through the authentic tip verification process used in treatment, storage of treatment records (log files and Patient Total screens), and the method of confirming the number of shots used after treatment. V&MJ DERMATOLOGY provides Ultherapy Open Chart guidance service through which authentic and exact-shot treatment can be confirmed by directly guiding real-time photo records and custom charts upon discharge.
Q3. What's different if I receive both Ultherapy Pix Prime and Thermage together?
While Ultherapy Pix Prime delivers energy to deep skin layers such as the SMAS fascia to induce lifting effects, Thermage transmits thermal energy evenly throughout the dermal layer to improve elasticity in a complementary manner. Combined Ultherapy and Thermage (UlTherma) is designed to simultaneously pursue synergy of depth and surface layer, and individual skin-specific suitability for combination may vary, requiring pre-procedure diagnosis.
Q4. What are the precautions after Ultherapy Pix Prime treatment and what is the recovery period?
Post-treatment puffiness, redness, and heat sensation typically subside within several days depending on individual skin condition, but the degree and duration of reaction varies individually. Use of sunscreen immediately after treatment and minimization of sun exposure are recommended, and facial cleansing and daily activities are often possible from the day of or the day after treatment, but specific post-care guidelines should follow the guidance of the responsible medical staff.
