Hello! This is Seye Clinic, embracing all the beauty in the world, and led by a Key Doctor (KOL) and Faculty Medical Team who teach and train other medical professionals.
"Doctor, is this really an authentic device?"
This is one of the most common and cautiously asked questions we hear during consultations. In the past, we provided the sticker from the used tip to confirm its authenticity, but a lingering sense of uncertainty might have remained for some patients.
Now, you can put all those worries to rest. A new, cutting-edge system has been introduced that allows patients to transparently verify the authenticity of their Ultherapy treatment directly with their own smartphones. Today, we're excited to share this news and explain how you can use it.
Ultherapy's manufacturer, Merz, has launched 'Touch Prime,' an NFC-based authentication system to combat counterfeit tips. Patients can now use their own smartphones to instantly scan and verify both the Ultherapy device and the treatment tip, ensuring safety and efficacy. This guide explains why authenticity is critical and provides a step-by-step process for verification.
For ultrasound lifting treatments, the 'safe and consistent energy output' is far more important than the brand name on the device. The primary goal is to deliver focused ultrasound energy precisely to the deep dermal layers and the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System), the foundational layer addressed in surgical facelifts, to stimulate collagen production.
If illegal, refurbished, or counterfeit tips are used, the energy may not reach the target SMAS layer correctly, leading to suboptimal lifting results. More critically, unstable energy delivery can cause serious side effects such as burns or unwanted facial fat loss. Therefore, a reliable authentication process is the most fundamental prerequisite for a safe and satisfactory outcome. Clinically proven results are directly tied to the use of genuine equipment.

Touch Prime is a new authentication campaign launched by Merz, the official manufacturer of Ultherapy. It moves beyond the limitations of the previous paper sticker system by utilizing a state-of-the-art NFC tag attached directly to the device.
Feature | Previous Method (Sticker) | New Method (Touch Prime) |
|---|---|---|
Verification By | Receiving a sticker provided by the clinic | Patient scans and verifies directly with their own smartphone |
Verification Target | Mainly the consumable tip | Both the Ultherapy machine and the treatment tip |
Reliability | Risk of sticker loss or damage | Encrypted security NFC chip prevents duplication |
With Touch Prime, patients can feel completely at ease, personally scanning the device and tip with their own smartphone right before the procedure begins.

You don't need to install a separate app—just the smartphone you use every day.
• For Android (Galaxy): Setup: In your phone's settings, enable 'NFC and contactless payments' or set it to 'Standard mode'. How to Tap: Touch the back of your phone (near the top camera or center, depending on the model) to the NFC tag on the Ultherapy machine.
• For iOS (iPhone): Setup: No setup is required for iPhone 12 and newer models, as NFC is always on. How to Tap: Touch the top part of your iPhone, near the camera, to the NFC tag.
Simply unlock your screen and bring your phone close to the NFC tag on the Ultherapy device. A pop-up webpage will open, instantly completing the device authentication. You can then scan the QR code on the tip's packaging for a dual-layer verification of the individual tip.
Q. Will my personal information be collected during authentication?
A. This is a common concern. The Touch Prime system does not collect or store any personally identifiable information, such as your name or phone number. You can use it with complete peace of mind.
Q. What if I have an older phone and the NFC doesn't work?
A. Most modern smartphones are compatible. If you have trouble scanning due to a thick phone case or an older model without NFC, our clinic has a dedicated device to perform the authentication process transparently for you.
Q. If my treatment requires multiple tips, can I verify each one?
A. Absolutely. Whether you use multiple tips for different depths (e.g., 4.5mm, 3.0mm, 1.5mm) tailored to various facial areas, each tip can be individually scanned and verified.
Using authentic equipment and tips is a fundamental principle that any reputable medical institution must follow. At Seye Clinic, we go beyond this basic standard and focus on the 'difference in design' to enhance the quality of your results.
• Officially Certified Clinic: Seye Clinic is an officially certified Ultherapy provider recognized by Merz, strictly adhering to authentic and standardized treatment protocols.
• EVE LAB Precision Diagnostics: We don't apply shots uniformly. Using 3D data analysis, we precisely assess each individual's bone structure and fat layer thickness to design an optimal treatment plan that prevents energy waste and maximizes effect.

As Ultherapy is a premium treatment that directly affects your face, finding a trustworthy clinic is paramount. Before visiting, we recommend you check whether the clinic has proactively adopted the Touch Prime system for transparent operations.
