Ultherapy delivers micro-focused ultrasound to the SMAS layer using DEEPSEE imaging, building new collagen so lifting develops gradually over about 2 to 3 months.
Ultherapy in Gangnam, Seoul, Korea is a non-surgical lifting treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound (MFU-V) to heat the deep SMAS layer, triggering collagen so skin lifts and firms gradually over 2 to 3 months. It is guided by DEEPSEE imaging, usually needs one session, and at our Gangnam (Seoul) location Dr. Yoongon Ryu tailors each plan in English.
One-on-One guidance from a dedicated doctor, ensuring your skin is professionally monitored and treated from start to finish.

Ultherapy is a non-surgical skin-lifting treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound with visualisation (MFU-V) to reach the deep support structures of the face and neck, including the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), the same layer a surgeon tightens in a facelift. By heating precise focal points below the surface, Ultherapy triggers a controlled wound-healing response that stimulates new collagen, so skin gradually lifts and firms without incisions or downtime.
What distinguishes genuine Ultherapy is DEEPSEE ultrasound imaging, which lets the doctor see the tissue layers in real time and place energy accurately at the intended depth. It is most suited to mild to moderate laxity, commonly treating the brow, jawline, submental (under-chin) area, and neck. Because it works by stimulating your own collagen, the effect is progressive rather than instant, building over the months after treatment.
At Reberry Clinic’s Gangnam (Seoul) location, Ultherapy is consultation-led. Dr. Yoongon Ryu assesses your skin laxity, thickness, and goals, then plans the number of lines and depths delivered. International patients are supported in English, and the clinic is about 2 minutes from Gangnam Station exit 10 in Seoul, Korea. Cost is explained transparently at consultation rather than as a single fixed figure.
Ultherapy uses micro-focused ultrasound to concentrate acoustic energy at precise depths beneath the skin, typically 4.5 mm for the SMAS, 3.0 mm for the deep dermis, and 1.5 mm for more superficial layers, depending on the transducer selected. At each focal point the tissue reaches a controlled thermal coagulation temperature, creating tiny zones of injury that the body repairs by producing fresh collagen and remodelling existing fibres over the following weeks. Because the energy bypasses the skin surface, the outer layer is left intact, which is why downtime is usually minimal. The MFU-V element refers to visualisation: DEEPSEE imaging shows the doctor the actual layers before energy is delivered, so lines are placed on target and away from structures like bone or major vessels. This precision, plus the doctor’s choice of transducer depth, energy level, and line count, is what shapes a natural lift. Genuine devices and authentic transducers matter here, because consistent energy and reliable imaging directly affect both safety and how even the result looks.

The doctor uses DEEPSEE imaging to view your tissue layers and maps treatment areas, choosing transducer depths of 1.5, 3.0, or 4.5 mm.
Topical anaesthetic and comfort measures are applied so the roughly 30 to 60 minute session, depending on area, stays tolerable.
Micro-focused ultrasound creates precise thermal points at the SMAS and dermal depths, delivering a planned number of lines across the treatment zone.
Each thermal point triggers a healing response, and over the next 2 to 3 months new collagen forms and existing fibres remodel.
Firming and subtle lifting build progressively, often peaking around 3 months, with results commonly maintained for about 12 months or more.

At our Gangnam (Seoul) location, Dr. Yoongon Ryu assesses your laxity and goals using imaging, then plans lines and depths and explains cost transparently in English.
After numbing, a session usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area and number of lines delivered, and you can leave the same day.
Ultherapy is usually a single session, with maintenance considered around the 12-month mark depending on how your skin responds.
Lifting and firming build gradually over about 2 to 3 months as new collagen forms, often peaking near the 3-month point.
Results commonly last around 12 months or more; sun protection and a good skincare routine help sustain the collagen benefit over time.

Ultherapy is assessed and performed at our Gangnam (Seoul) location, where Dr. Yoongon Ryu leads each consultation. Gangnam is about 2 minutes from Gangnam Station exit 10 in Seoul, Korea, with English support. Reberry Clinic also has locations in Myeongdong and near Incheon Airport, so you can choose what fits your travel plans.
Most patients feel brief heat or prickling at each focal point rather than sustained pain, and numbing plus comfort measures keep the roughly 30 to 60 minute session tolerable. Sensation varies with the depth and area treated. The doctor adjusts energy to balance comfort and results, and any tenderness usually settles within a day or two.
Downtime is usually minimal, with possible mild redness, slight swelling, or tenderness that settles within hours to a few days. Most people return to normal activities the same day. Occasionally there is temporary numbness or tingling along the jaw that resolves. You can gently resume a skin care routine as your doctor advises.
Lifting builds gradually over about 2 to 3 months as new collagen forms, often peaking near the 3-month mark, so it is progressive rather than instant. Some patients notice early tightening sooner. Because results are natural and cumulative, realistic expectations help, and your doctor explains the expected timeline clearly at consultation.
Results commonly last around 12 months or more, though ageing continues, so this varies with your age, skin quality, and lifestyle. Many patients consider maintenance around the one-year mark. Pairing Ultherapy with dermal firming such as Thermage FLX can broaden results, which your doctor can plan for you.
Most people need just 1 session to stimulate collagen, with maintenance considered around 12 months later depending on their response and goals. The number of ultrasound lines delivered within that session is matched to your laxity. Dr. Yoongon Ryu confirms your plan and whether combining treatments would help at your Gangnam consultation.
Yes, Ultherapy is often combined with radiofrequency or thread treatments because they work at different depths and complement each other. Ultherapy lifts the deep SMAS, while a device firms the dermis or threads reposition tissue. Many patients pair it with a thread lift, and the sequence is planned during consultation.
Ultherapy commonly treats the brow, jawline, under-chin (submental) area, and neck, lifting and firming mild to moderate laxity. The eye and brow area can also be addressed with shallower transducers. Your doctor uses imaging to map which zones suit treatment, so the plan targets your specific concerns rather than a fixed template.
Common effects are temporary and include redness, swelling, tenderness, or occasional tingling and small bruises that settle within days. Rare effects are minimised when a doctor uses genuine equipment, imaging, and appropriate energy. Choosing a clinic on doctor skill and device authenticity, and following aftercare, reduces risks, which your doctor reviews before you proceed.
Good candidates are adults with mild to moderate skin laxity and reasonable skin quality who want a non-surgical lift. Very advanced sagging may respond better to other approaches, and certain implants or active skin issues are contraindications. An imaging-guided, doctor-led consultation confirms candidacy honestly rather than treating everyone identically.
Ultherapy uses micro-focused ultrasound to reach the deep SMAS layer for lifting, while Thermage uses monopolar radiofrequency to tighten the broader dermis for firmness. They target different tissue and are sometimes combined. You can compare details on our Thermage FLX page to see which suits your goals.
Cost depends on how many ultrasound lines are delivered and the areas treated, so there is no single fixed price. Our approach is consultation-led, and Dr. Yoongon Ryu explains your individual cost transparently in English after assessment. You can start on our Ultherapy Prime page and ask during your visit.
Aftercare is simple: use daily sun protection, keep skin hydrated, and avoid excessive heat or harsh products for a day or two. Because collagen builds over weeks, a consistent gentle routine supports results. Your doctor gives tailored guidance, and a suitable skin care routine helps maintain firmness over time.
For Ultherapy, 2 to 3 days in Seoul is comfortable, allowing a consultation, the session, and a short review, since downtime is minimal. Many international patients plan a brief trip and let results develop after returning home. Our English-speaking team in Gangnam helps coordinate timing around your wider travel plans.
Yes, flying within a day is generally fine because Ultherapy is non-invasive with minimal downtime. Cabin air is drying, so moisturise and use sun protection when you land. Any mild redness or swelling usually settles quickly, and your doctor provides aftercare guidance you can follow easily from abroad while collagen builds.
International patients usually complete Ultherapy in one visit, and our English-speaking team offers remote check-ins so we can review your gradual results between trips. Your treatment notes are kept on file for continuity, and if you return for maintenance or a combined Ultherapy plan, the doctor builds on your record.
