Among non-surgical lifting options, Ultherapy remains the reference for reaching the SMAS, the same layer addressed in surgical facelifts. KATE CLINIC in Hongdae performs it on the Prime platform, the newest generation of the device.
What Prime changes
Ultherapy Prime keeps the core mechanism, micro-focused ultrasound delivered at precise depths under real-time imaging, while improving treatment speed and comfort over earlier generations. The practitioner sees the layer being treated as energy is delivered, which is what separates Ultherapy from blind-fired devices.

KATE CLINIC’s treatment design
Line counts and placement are planned around each face: where the descent concentrates, how thick the tissue is, and what the patient wants to protect. The clinic treats the plan, not the shot count, as the product, and explains the reasoning before treatment.
Session and afterwards
A full-face session takes roughly 60-90 minutes after numbing. Mild tenderness or swelling may follow for days; lifting builds over two to three months and typically lasts a year or more. It also pairs well with Titanium Lifting for surface quality between sessions.
