The next chapter of Merz Aesthetics’ skin solutions is here. Cue the new and improved Ultherapy PRIME, unveiled at a grand launch in Seoul – in conjunction with the return of actor Lee Min-ho as its ambassador for a third year, alongside newly appointed face of the brand, Jun Jihyun.
This advanced aesthetic technology comes at a time when non-invasive lifting treatments are increasingly sought after by dermatologists, skin specialists, and consumers alike. No needles, no down-time – it’s a win-win for all, so what’s not to like? With Ultherapy already setting the gold standard for the industry before, the arrival of the Ultherapy PRIME signals an even greater shift for anti-ageing – or age-defying, if you prefer – skin innovations.
Bid farewell (or see you later) to those fine lines and wrinkles, say hello to the Benjamin Button effect.
Ultherapy PRIME: The leader in non-invasive skin lifting

So, how does this next-generation treatment work? Unlike lasers, radio frequency, or surgery, Ultherapy PRIME is the only FDA-approved treatment featuring ultrasound with real-time imaging. Complemented by a 35% larger screen than its predecessor, it allows professionals to effectively target multiple depths, and more importantly, the right skin layers for the most beneficial treatment.
It then stimulates the body’s natural collagen production to kickstart a natural lifting effect that builds firmer skin and improves elasticity over time. With a processor that’s 10 times faster, the upgraded platform also allows for 20% more efficient treatment compared to the legacy Ultherapy, while ensuring precise, customised, and longer-lasting results.
Designed for those who experience some degree of skin laxity or loss of elasticity, an Ultherapy PRIME treatment won’t duplicate the results of a surgical facelift, but serves as a clinically proven non-surgical alternative for rejuvenated, natural-looking skin.
See My Skin, Lift My Way: Love My Prime

Who better to embody the Ultherapy PRIME consumer than two well-known veterans in the K-drama world? Lee Min-ho, who turned 38 this year, looked no older in his latest work, a fantasy-fiction film titled Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy, than when he first appeared in the 2016 drama, The Legend of the Deep Blue Sea, alongside Jun Jihyun. The same can be said of the actress too, who appears as youthful and elegant as ever approaching 43.
Believe us, their complexions were just as refined in-person, as far we could tell from our seat during the landmark launch in Seoul. In line with Merz Aesthetics’ ‘See My Skin, Lift My Way: Love My Prime’ campaign, they redefine what it means to be in one’s prime, inspiring others to embrace their unique journeys towards confidence and vitality while evolving with each stage of life into a more confident version of themselves.
Speaking to FirstClasse on his self-care philosophy, Lee said, “I think how you look is important, but what’s more important is finding out how you are – that’s where everything starts. So, you have to look deeper into that and find your own style – from how you dress to how you put makeup on. [Self-care] is really about finding out who you are and your own identity.”
Meanwhile, Jun’s self-care routine requires making a conscious effort to exercise regularly and eat well, despite her demanding schedule. That’s why she considers the tailored approach of Ultherapy PRIME as its greatest strength. “By offering personalised lifting options, it enables more proactive self-care, helping people of all ages maintain their most natural beauty and confidence,” she shared.

Coupling the highly personalised, advanced technology of Ultherapy PRIME with Lee Minho and Jun Jihyun’s inspiring self-care journeys, Merz Aesthetics proves that being in your prime is not limited to a fleeting moment in time, but a continuous journey of evolution.
