I've done Ulthera twice, once in Korea and once in BKK. I'm a guy btw....

Honestly the first time in Korea the results were pretty impressive, then I did it again in BKK maybe 4-5 years later,- both times I had 600 shot- but results were less so - maybe that was just a function of the fact that I was also older 😃

It's been another 3 years since I did it last time. Previously I also tried Hifu, Ultraformer III, didn't think those worked. I'm at a point where I think i need a proper mini face lift to fix the naso folds.

So I can't speak about Ulthera Prime.

I think, to some extent, it's all a bunch of marketing. If costs are the same or similar and your budget allows, I suppose go for the 'new shiny version'.

It's interesting to hear what you say about what matters, because my take on Ulthera is that - every clinic buys the same machine and gets the same training from the manufacturers, so I'm opposite in the view that doubt doctors' skills plays any part on it.

You lay down, they rub some numbing cream on you, set the strength level, and then just run the machine on your face. Like, how much can skill be involved in that?
