A clinic where lifting effects are maximized by meticulously designing treatment depth, shot count, and ultrasound direction based on each individual’s facial structure and aging pattern—that is the core philosophy behind anti-aging care at PageLab Clinic.

By providing truly personalized, anatomy-based consultations, PageLab Clinic is rapidly establishing itself as a global destination for aesthetic medicine, with visible ultrasound lifting at its core.Ultherapy Prime is the only HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) system that allows real-time ultrasound visualization during treatment.

Compared to the original Ultherapy, it offers significantly improved resolution and precision. “Ultrasound lifting is a modality where the practitioner’s skill makes the biggest difference,” explains Dr. Soyou Lee of PageLab Clinic. “Even with the same number of shots, the outcome—swelling, pain, and longevity—can vary dramatically depending on who performs the treatment.”

With nearly one million shots administered annually, Dr. Lee emphasizes that it is not the price or the number of shots alone, but the physician’s expertise and the tailored design that determine the success of the lifting treatment.

Today, PageLab Clinic attracts a wide international patient base from China, Japan, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and North America. Many overseas visitors, having experienced multiple clinics, remark, “This is the first clinic where each shot is delivered under direct ultrasound visualization.”

Dr. Lee advises, “A single lifting session can be as transformative as surgery if it’s based on precise diagnostics and real-time ultrasound-guided planning. Choosing a clinic that can deliver that level of care is crucial.”

 
Q : What sets PageLab Clinic apart from other medical aesthetic clinics?

A : PageLab Clinic is a premium anti-aging clinic that provides truly personalized care for patients from all over the world. Unlike clinics that focus on short-term, one-time procedures for medical tourism, we offer a fully integrated approach—from facial analysis and diagnosis to treatment and post-procedure care. We design long-term skin health plans that continue even after patients return to their home countries.

What truly distinguishes us is our outcome-driven system. Instead of relying on aggressive marketing, we prioritize patient satisfaction and long-term retention. By limiting the number of procedures per day, we maintain a high level of focus and quality in each session, ensuring optimal results. Every patient is supported by a dedicated team consisting of a physician, coordinator, and skincare specialist.

 
Q : What is your signature treatment at PageLab?

A : While we offer a wide range of medical aesthetic services, including fillers, Botox, skin boosters, and more, Ultherapy Prime is our most popular and recognized procedure. Many patients come to us based on word-of-mouth referrals after seeing impressive lifting results.

 
Q : Can you explain what Ultherapy Prime is?

A : Ultherapy Prime is a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) device designed to deliver precise thermal coagulation points at various depths of the skin. It’s the only HIFU platform with FDA and CE approval for lifting, not just for improving skin texture or elasticity. That distinction matters because it reflects proven clinical results.

Using its proprietary DeepSEE ultrasound imaging technology, the device enables us to visualize tissue layers in real-time. The face is a three-dimensional structure, and results depend on how deep, how many, and where we place the coagulation dots. It’s a detailed and artistic process, much like sculpting.

 
Q : What are the differences between Ultherapy and Ultherapy Prime?

A : Ultherapy Prime is the next-generation platform of Ultherapy, the original HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) device that was first approved in Korea in 2009. While it maintains the core hardware performance of the original Ultherapy system, the Prime version incorporates significant software and imaging technology upgrades, enabling more precise and efficient treatments.

The most notable improvement is the expanded field of ultrasound imaging and enhanced resolution. With Ultherapy Prime, practitioners can now view internal skin structures more clearly and broadly in real time, allowing for finer control over treatment depth and shot placement. It represents a clear distinction from the previous model.

For practitioners, being able to confirm treatment areas and accurately target specific tissue layers visually leads not only to greater ease of use but also to more consistent and satisfying outcomes. Many patients who have experienced both versions report noticeably better results with Ultherapy Prime.

In summary, Ultherapy Prime offers a more advanced system that delivers faster, more precise, and more efficient lifting treatments compared to the original Ultherapy.

 
Q : What are the advantages of Ultherapy Prime compared to other HIFU devices?

A : The greatest advantage of Ultherapy Prime is that it’s equipped with real-time ultrasound imaging technology (MFU-V: Micro-Focused Ultrasound with real-time Visualization). This feature allows practitioners to visually confirm the internal structures of the skin during treatment, and to date, Ultherapy is the only HIFU device that includes this capability.

We often explain this to patients using the following analogy: “There’s a clear difference between shooting with your eyes closed and aiming directly at a target with your eyes open.” This difference translates directly into treatment precision and predictability of results.

Since the face is a three-dimensional structure, the outcome depends on the number of thermal coagulation points placed, their depth, and the direction in which they are applied. With DeepSEE technology, Ultherapy Prime enables practitioners to access all this information in real-time—something that sets it apart from any other device.

Furthermore, compared to other HIFU devices, Ultherapy Prime demonstrates a significant superiority in consistently and uniformly forming thermal coagulation points at the intended depth. Even when using the same settings (e.g., 3.0 mm or 4.5 mm), the actual depth of energy delivery, intensity, and accuracy of dot placement are noticeably more precise with Ultherapy Prime.

 
Q : What has made PageLab Clinic well known for its Ultherapy Prime treatments?

A : The reason PageLab Clinic has gained recognition for Ultherapy Prime treatments goes far beyond simply owning the device. It comes down to our exceptionally high treatment volume, refined technical expertise, and deep operational knowledge of the platform. I perform approximately one million Ultherapy Prime treatments annually, which reflects the scale of treatments we provide. It’s a strong indicator of consistent clinical demand and patient trust in our approach.

At PageLab, we strictly follow protocols that utilize DeepSEE real-time ultrasound imaging, allowing us to visualize skin structures and precisely target the right depth during treatment. As a result, we can minimize swelling and discomfort after the procedure. We’ve accumulated enough expertise to assess the layer and shot depth simply by observing the redness or swelling after treatment.

Most patients experience minimal pain, with topical numbing cream typically sufficient. We rarely need to use injectable anesthesia or nerve blocks because our approach is so finely tuned—built on expert selection of treatment depth, precise energy distribution, and exact shot placement.

In medical aesthetic medicine, the real differentiator isn’t just the device, but how it’s handled masterfully. At PageLab, we’re not just a clinic that owns Ultherapy Prime—we’re a clinic that understands how to sculpt faces with it, delivering the most ideal outcome for each individual. That’s what truly sets us apart.

 
Q : What are the current trends in Ultherapy Prime treatments?

A : As medical aesthetic procedures have become more mainstream, the age at which people begin anti-aging care has significantly decreased. Whereas treatments were once primarily sought by middle-aged individuals with visible sagging or wrinkles, it is now increasingly common for patients in their 20s and 30s to receive lifting treatments on a regular, preventive basis.

Among younger patients, Ultherapy Prime is often chosen not just for lifting or wrinkle reduction, but as a tool for facial contouring—improving facial balance, symmetry, and overall proportions. Because Ultherapy Prime enables practitioners to target various skin depths with precision using ultrasound energy, it can effectively reshape the face, depending on the treatment design.

For instance, if someone has a mid-face that appears too long, we can adjust the coagulation points to create a visually shorter look. In cases where the cheekbones appear overly prominent, we can lift the soft tissue to produce a smoother, more harmonious contour.

As a result, more patients who were previously considering jaw reduction, cheekbone reduction, or even orthognathic surgery are now opting for Ultherapy Prime as a non-surgical alternative. In many cases, significant improvements in facial appearance can be achieved through soft tissue tightening alone, without the need for bone surgery.

Ultherapy Prime has thus evolved beyond being just a lifting device. It is now regarded as an advanced platform for precise contouring and facial ratio correction, reflecting broader trends in the global anti-aging and medical aesthetic market.

 
Q : What would you like to say to patients considering Ultherapy Prime treatment?

A : Among the many lifting devices available today, I believe Ultherapy Prime is the one where outcomes vary the most depending on the physician’s experience and skill. Even with the same device and the same number of shots, the results—including lifting effect, swelling, pain, and longevity—can vary significantly depending on who performs the treatment and how it is administered. That’s why I always advise patients not to judge Ultherapy Prime treatments solely by price or the number of shots. What truly matters is the provider’s experience and how well the treatment is tailored to your unique facial structure.

We often see patients who have previously received Ultherapy treatments at other clinics but were dissatisfied with the results or experienced side effects, and now seek consultation with us. Many of these issues could have been avoided with a more precise approach from the start. When done properly with accurate diagnostics, thoughtful planning, and technical precision, Ultherapy Prime can deliver results that rival surgical lifting in terms of effectiveness.

If you’re considering this treatment, even just once, I strongly recommend choosing a clinic that offers personalized design and has the expertise to execute it safely and effectively. You’ll see far better results and a much higher level of satisfaction.
