Ultherapy in Seoul, Korea

What Is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is a non-surgical lifting treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, specifically the SMAS layer — the same layer tightened during a surgical facelift. This stimulates new collagen production, resulting in firmer, tighter, and more lifted skin over time without incisions or downtime.

In Seoul, Ultherapy is one of the most sought-after anti-aging treatments because of its natural results, precision, and long-lasting effects.

Why Ultherapy Is Popular in Seoul

Seoul is considered a global leader for non-surgical lifting due to:

• Access to the latest Ultherapy technology and upgraded protocols
• Practitioners experienced in lifting treatments for Asian and melanin-rich skin
• Strong emphasis on natural, non-overdone results
• Customizable depth and energy settings
• Combination techniques (Ultherapy + skin boosters, laser tightening, or fillers)
• Lower cost compared to many Western countries

What Ultherapy Treats

Ultherapy is ideal for lifting and tightening:

• Lower face sagging
• Jowls and jawline
• Chin and sub-chin area
• Cheeks and mid-face
• Eyebrows (brow lift effect)
• Neck and décolletage
• Early signs of aging
• Mild-to-moderate skin laxity

How Ultherapy Works

1. Ultrasound Imaging

The practitioner visualizes the layers of the skin in real time to target the exact depth needed.

2. Focused Ultrasound Delivery

Energy pulses heat the SMAS and dermis to 60–70°C, stimulating collagen contraction.

3. Collagen Regeneration

New collagen forms gradually, leading to firmer, lifted skin.

4. No Incisions or Downtime

Skin surface isn't damaged.

Procedure time: 45–90 minutes, depending on treatment area.
