What is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is a non-invasive, FDA-approved ultrasound treatment that lifts and tightens facial skin naturally. It's the only non-surgical procedure approved by the FDA for lifting skin on the neck, chin, and eyebrow. Unlike laser treatments that work on the skin's surface, Ultherapy reaches deep beneath the skin to stimulate collagen production.

How does Ultherapy work?

Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to heat tissue at specific depths (1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm) without damaging the skin's surface. This heat stimulates the body's natural collagen production process, resulting in gradual skin tightening and lifting over 2-3 months.

Benefits for International Patients:

• • No downtime - Continue your Seoul travel immediately
• • Natural-looking results appear gradually over 2-3 months
• • Single treatment session (60-90 minutes)
• • Results last 1-2 years
• • No needles, no surgery, no scarring
• • Perfect for forehead lines, sagging cheeks, and neck lifting

Who is Ultherapy suitable for?

Ideal for patients in their 30s-60s experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity. Best results for those with good skin quality who want to prevent or address early signs of aging without surgery.

Ultherapy Cost in Seoul:

Korean clinics offer Ultherapy at significantly lower prices than Western countries (typically 30-50% less) while using the same FDA-approved equipment. Contact us for personalized pricing based on your treatment areas.

What is Thermage FLX?

Thermage FLX is the latest generation of radiofrequency (RF) technology for non-surgical skin tightening and contouring. It delivers volumetric heating to tighten existing collagen and stimulate new collagen production, resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin.

Thermage vs. Ultherapy - Which is better?

Thermage FLX: Uses radiofrequency energy, treats larger areas quickly, excellent for overall skin tightening and texture improvement, more comfortable treatment, immediate tightening effect.

Ultherapy: Uses ultrasound energy, provides deeper lifting effect, better for specific areas like brow lift and neck, results develop more gradually, targets SMAS layer for more dramatic lifting.

Best Approach: Many patients combine both treatments for optimal results - Thermage for overall tightening and Ultherapy for targeted lifting.

Treatment Areas:

• • Full face and neck tightening
• • Jawline contouring and definition
• • Under-eye area and crow's feet
• • Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• • Body areas: arms, abdomen, thighs
