Ultherapy in Korea (2025): Cost, Benefits, Recovery & Trusted Clinics

Introduction

Ultherapy is a leading non-surgical skin lifting and tightening treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. In Korea, Ultherapy is widely offered at premium dermatology and aesthetic clinics, especially in Seoul’s Gangnam and Apgujeong districts. Patients choose Ultherapy for its precision, safety, and natural-looking results—without surgery or downtime.

What Is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is a U.S. FDA-cleared treatment that delivers microfocused ultrasound energy to targeted layers beneath the skin. This triggers a natural healing response, stimulating collagen regeneration and resulting in gradual skin lifting and tightening.

Unlike laser or radiofrequency treatments, Ultherapy reaches deeper layers—including the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System)—a layer typically targeted in surgical facelifts.

Benefits of Ultherapy

  • Non-invasive with no incisions or downtime
  • Natural collagen stimulation
  • Lifts and tightens the face, jawline, neck, and brow
  • Improves skin texture and elasticity
  • Suitable for early signs of aging
  • Customizable by treatment area and depth

Common Treatment Areas

  • Full Face (cheeks, jawline, and forehead)
  • Brow lift (for hooded eyelids or drooping brows)
  • Neck and under-chin (double chin area)
  • Décolleté (chest wrinkles)
