[mediK / HEALTH IN NEWS] SEOUL, South Korea — Vely B Guro, a leading dermatology clinic in Seoul, has introduced Ultherapy Prime, an advanced second-generation high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) device, to strengthen its personalized anti-aging services.

Ultherapy Prime builds on the established Ultherapy platform by delivering precise thermal coagulation points to the dermis and the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) layer, promoting natural lifting and stimulating collagen production. The system extends ultrasound imaging depth from 4.5 mm to 8 mm, allowing clearer visualization of deeper skin layers and enabling more accurate, patient-specific treatments.

With enhanced imaging, Ultherapy Prime clearly captures the SMAS layer—essential for effective lifting—reducing unnecessary tissue stimulation and focusing energy on targeted areas. The device also operates approximately 20% faster than its predecessor, shortening procedure times and minimizing patient discomfort.

Vely B Guro plans to use this advanced technology to provide safe, effective lifting treatments tailored to different age groups and skin concerns.

Dr. Ji Seong Lee, the clinic’s chief physician, emphasized the importance of personalized approaches to skin aging. “Aging manifests differently in each person, requiring tailored care,” Dr. Lee said. “Ultherapy Prime’s real-time imaging enables us to fine-tune treatments to each patient’s unique skin structure. Our goal is to provide not only procedures but also comprehensive skin care programs that restore confidence.”
