1. Looking to lift and firm without surgery?

Ulthera (Ultherapy) is a popular non-invasive facelift treatment using ultrasound technology to lift sagging skin and tighten facial contours—especially in Korea’s beauty hub, Gangnam.

2. What is Ulthera?

Ulthera uses focused ultrasound waves to stimulate deep layers of the skin, particularly the SMAS layer, encouraging natural collagen production without damaging the surface.

3. Which areas can be treated?

It’s commonly used on the jawline, cheeks, neck, and around the eyes. Some clinics also offer Ulthera for brow lifts and overall facial tightening.

4. How does the treatment feel?

You may feel slight heat or tingling during the session. Clinics typically apply numbing cream or offer mild pain relief for patient comfort.

5. What are the visible effects?

Skin becomes firmer and more lifted over 2–3 months as new collagen forms. Many patients notice tighter skin with improved jawline definition and reduced sagging.

6. How long do results last?

Results can last up to 12–18 months, depending on your age, skin condition, and lifestyle. Annual touch-ups help maintain the effect.

7. Downtime and recovery?

There’s little to no downtime. You might experience slight redness or swelling for a few hours post-treatment, but most people resume daily life immediately.

8. How much does Ulthera cost in Gangnam?

A full face session costs approximately ₩1,200,000 to ₩2,500,000 ($900–$1,900 USD), depending on the number of shots and treatment area.

9. Why is Gangnam a top destination?

Clinics in Gangnam use authentic Ulthera devices with highly trained specialists who ensure safe, effective, and natural-looking results tailored to Korean beauty standards.

10. Final tip

Choose a clinic that uses FDA-approved Ulthera and provides a detailed consultation to customize the shot depth and area for maximum results.
