Lifting · Gangnam HERA
Your face is scanned in 3D before a single shot. Then the genuine Ultherapy Prime system — the next-generation, FDA-cleared Ultherapy platform — delivers focused ultrasound to the depth your face actually needs, planned by a Gangnam HERA doctor from your scan.

Why patients come to HERA
These are the four things international patients tell us before their first HERA consultation — and what we do differently.
“I paid for a lift and saw almost no change.”
The same shot template was used on every face, so the energy never reached the layer that was actually sagging.
We scan first. EVE V MUSE measures wrinkle depth, volume, lifting angle and texture, and your shot lines are drawn from that data.
“One side lifted more than the other.”
Faces are asymmetric. A plan that treats both sides identically ignores that.
Your 1:1 chart is designed side by side, area by area, from your own 3D data.
“I'm not sure the device or tips were real.”
Look-alike HIFU devices and refilled cartridges exist, and patients can't tell from the outside.
HERA treats with genuine Ultherapy Prime — the system with DeepSEE imaging and the three standard depths described below.
“It hurt more than anyone told me.”
Energy aimed at the wrong depth, or too many passes in one spot, makes it more painful without making it better.
Topical numbing first, and the energy goes where the plan says — not more, not deeper than your face needs.
How it works
Ultherapy Prime is micro-focused ultrasound. Its DeepSEE imaging lets the doctor see the layers under your skin in real time, then place tiny heated points at a chosen depth. The heat tightens tissue on the spot and starts new collagen that keeps building for months.
Tips changed by plan
The transducer images the tissue, then lays down rows of focused points at each planned depth. Nothing cuts the skin; the surface stays intact.
Each Ultherapy tip is a separate transducer, fixed to one depth and one frequency. The depth is printed on the tip itself, so the doctor switches tips — not settings — to change layers.
Each genuine tip carries its name and a color code — blue for the 4 MHz 4.5 mm tip, purple for the 7 MHz 4.5 mm tip, green for 3.0 mm, orange for 1.5 mm — plus its own serial number and QR code that verify it is genuine.

DeepSEE imaging
Ultherapy is one of the few lifting devices that shows the doctor the tissue under the transducer while treating, so each line is placed on the right layer — not guessed.
Ultherapy is FDA-cleared for non-invasive lifting of the brow, neck and under-chin — see FDA & safety below.
3D illustration for explanation. Depths shown are the device's standard transducer depths.
Prime vs classic
Same energy, same depths, same target layer. What Prime changes is how clearly the doctor sees your tissue while treating — and how long you spend on the bed.
*Manufacturer figures from Merz Aesthetics' Ultherapy Prime launch (2024). Actual time depends on the areas and your plan.
Is Prime stronger or more painful?
No. The energy and depths are the same. What improves is the view of the layers, so each line is placed with more confidence.
I had classic Ultherapy before. Will Prime feel different?
It feels broadly familiar. The difference is on the doctor's side of the screen — clearer images and a quicker session.
FDA & safety
Ultherapy has more than fifteen years of FDA clearances behind it. At HERA, safety comes from three things working together: the genuine device, real-time imaging, and a doctor who plans every line.
FDA clearance history
Ultherapy cleared for a non-invasive brow lift
Cleared for lifting the neck and under-chin
Cleared for improving lines on the décolleté
Ultherapy Prime launched as the next-generation platform
Prime cleared for the abdomen and arms
Prime cleared for knee skin laxity
“FDA-cleared” means the US Food and Drug Administration reviewed the device and allowed it to be marketed for these uses. It describes the device, not a guaranteed result.
How HERA keeps it safe
Genuine Ultherapy Prime
We treat with the genuine Ultherapy Prime system — not a look-alike HIFU device.
See before you treat
DeepSEE imaging shows the tissue under the transducer, so energy goes to the planned layer.
Planned by a doctor
A Gangnam HERA doctor designs your chart from your 3D scan and reviews your health history first.
Comfort first
Topical numbing before treatment; energy is set to your plan, never pushed for its own sake.
What you might notice afterwards
Tell your doctor about implants, open wounds or skin infections in the area, pregnancy, or blood-thinning medication before treatment.
HERA signature
Most HIFU treatments start with the device. Ours starts with your face. Before any energy is delivered, three steps happen in order.
EVE V MUSE captures your face and turns wrinkle depth, volume, lifting angle and skin texture into 3D data.
From that data, your doctor designs your chart: which areas, which depth, how many lines and at what intensity — per side, per zone.
Ultherapy Prime delivers exactly what the chart says, with DeepSEE imaging confirming each layer as it goes.

Ultherapy Prime
Focused ultrasound, 1.5–4.5 mm
Best for: Lift — jawline, cheeks, brows, under-chin
Many faces need more than one. Your doctor will tell you which, and why.
Treatment areas
A subtle brow lift and firmer upper eyelid skin. Fine lines around the eyes are treated at the shallow depth.
See before & afterLifts flattened, dropped cheeks back toward where they sat, softening the fold beside the nose.
See before & afterThe most requested area. SMAS tightening along the jaw redefines a blurred jawline and reduces jowls.
See before & afterFirms loose skin under the chin for a cleaner angle between the jaw and neck.
See before & afterTightens crepey neck skin and softens horizontal lines.
See before & afterDepths are typical starting points; your chart decides the final plan.
Who it's for
Probably not the right fit
Structural lift
Tightens the SMAS, the layer where sagging starts.
Firmer skin
New collagen builds in the dermis for months after treatment.
Sharper contour
A more defined jawline and less heaviness at the jowls.
Natural result
Nothing is added to your face — your own tissue does the work.
When we combine
If the sagging is more than ultrasound can lift, we pair Ultherapy with threads — HERA's Premium Silthera lifts tissue with threads and tightens with Ultherapy in one plan.
Results
Some tightening is visible right away, but most of the result comes from collagen your skin builds over the following months.
Day 0
A firmer feel on the day. Mild redness usually settles within hours to a day.
Week 1
Any slight tenderness fades. Daily life carries on as normal.
Month 1
The jawline and cheeks begin to look more defined.
Month 3
The lift is close to its best as new collagen matures.
12–18 months
Typically lasts 12–18 months, depending on your skin.
Results and timing vary from person to person.
