Ultherapy Prime delivers micro-focused ultrasound to 3 depths (1.5, 3.0, and 4.5mm), reaching the SMAS layer that surgeons address in a facelift, in a single non-surgical session.
Ultherapy at our Myeongdong (Seoul) location is a single-session, non-surgical lifting treatment using Ultherapy Prime micro-focused ultrasound with visualization. It heats the SMAS and deep dermis at 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5mm to trigger collagen renewal, so skin lifts and firms gradually over 2 to 3 months with essentially no downtime.
One-on-One guidance from a dedicated doctor, ensuring your skin is professionally monitored and treated from start to finish.
Fluent assistance in English, Japanese, and Chinese, making communication clear, respectful and comfortable for international patients.
Over 100,000 patients worldwide have received our personalized dermatological care, highlighting our expertise and reliable results.
Ultherapy is a non-surgical lifting and tightening treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound (MFU) energy to reach the deep support layers of the face and neck. At our Myeongdong (Seoul) location we use Ultherapy Prime, the current-generation device that pairs micro-focused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V), meaning the doctor sees the tissue layers on screen before energy is delivered. This targets the same SMAS layer a surgeon tightens in a facelift, but without incisions.
Rather than resurfacing the skin’s surface, Ultherapy Prime bypasses the top layer and deposits precise heat at set depths of 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5mm. This creates tiny thermal coagulation points that prompt the body to build fresh collagen and elastin over the following weeks. Because it works with your own tissue renewal, the lift appears gradually rather than instantly.
At Reberry Clinic, Ultherapy is consultation-led and performed by the clinic’s doctors, with the treatment reviewed by Dr. Seung Jae Baek, Medical Director. Located at 5, Myeongdong 10-gil, Jung-gu, our Myeongdong clinic is about 5 minutes from Myeongdong Station, and our team supports international patients in English throughout, from mapping the treatment areas to explaining aftercare.
Ultherapy Prime uses micro-focused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V), a specific form of ultrasound that differs from the radiofrequency used by devices like Thermage FLX. Ultrasound energy is focused to a precise point beneath the skin, where it raises tissue temperature high enough to form small thermal coagulation points without harming the surface. The built-in DEEPSEE visualization lets the doctor see the dermis and the SMAS in real time, so energy lands in the intended layer rather than being applied blindly.
Three transducer depths are used: 4.5mm reaches the SMAS, the fibromuscular layer that provides deep structural lift; 3.0mm targets the mid and deep dermis; and 1.5mm addresses more superficial dermal tightening and fine skin quality. By combining depths, the treatment can lift structurally and refine texture in one session. The thermal points trigger a natural wound-healing response, and over roughly 8 to 12 weeks new collagen contracts and firms the treated area. This is why Ultherapy is single-session with gradual results, rather than a quick surface effect.

The clinic’s doctors assess your skin laxity and map the face and neck, planning across the 3 treatment depths of 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5mm.
Skin is cleansed and ultrasound gel applied; the DEEPSEE screen shows the dermis and SMAS so each of the 4.5mm lines lands in the right layer.
Micro-focused ultrasound creates thousands of tiny thermal coagulation points at set depths across roughly 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the areas treated.
Over the next 8 to 12 weeks, the treated tissue builds new collagen and elastin, which gradually contracts and firms the skin.
Most patients see progressive lifting over 2 to 3 months from a single session, with the doctor reviewing whether any touch-up is useful.

At our Myeongdong clinic, the clinic’s doctors assess laxity, discuss goals, and confirm whether Ultherapy Prime suits you, all in English.
A single session usually takes about 45 to 90 minutes depending on the areas mapped across the 3 depths.
Most patients complete Ultherapy in one visit, so you can plan your Seoul schedule around a single appointment.
Lifting builds gradually as new collagen forms, with most of the effect visible 2 to 3 months after treatment.
Results commonly last around a year or more, and a maintenance session helps sustain firmness as skin continues to age.
Ultherapy at our Myeongdong (Seoul) location is a non-surgical lifting treatment using Ultherapy Prime micro-focused ultrasound. It heats the SMAS and dermis at 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5mm to renew collagen. You can read more on our Ultherapy Prime page before your consultation.
Ultherapy reaches the same SMAS layer a facelift tightens, but does so with focused ultrasound rather than surgery, so there are no incisions or stitches. It suits mild to moderate laxity with gradual firming over 2 to 3 months, whereas a surgical face lift offers a larger, immediate change for advanced sagging.
Good candidates typically have mild to moderate sagging of the face, jawline, or neck and want a non-surgical option. During consultation at our Myeongdong clinic, the doctor checks your skin laxity and quality to confirm suitability. Very advanced sagging may respond better to a surgical face lift approach.
Most patients feel brief heat or tingling as each ultrasound line is delivered, which reflects energy reaching the target depth. Comfort is managed by adjusting settings and, where appropriate, topical numbing. Sensation varies by area, with bony regions often felt more, and it stops as soon as delivery ends.
Ultherapy involves essentially no downtime, so most people return to normal activities the same day. Temporary redness, mild swelling, or slight tenderness can occur and usually settles within hours to a few days. Because there are no incisions, there is no wound care or stitch removal required afterward.
Results build gradually as new collagen forms, with most improvement visible 2 to 3 months after a single session. Some patients notice early firming sooner, but the fuller lift develops over weeks. Your doctor reviews progress and advises whether a maintenance session later would be helpful for your goals.
Results commonly last around a year or more, though this varies with age, skin quality, and lifestyle. Ultherapy does not stop natural aging, so it is not a one-time fix; many patients schedule a maintenance session periodically. Your doctor can suggest a timeline based on how your skin responds.
Most patients are treated in a single session, which is one reason Ultherapy suits international visitors. Depending on your laxity and goals, the doctor may suggest a follow-up later, but a repeat is not routinely required. This is discussed at consultation so you can plan your visit to Seoul.
Yes, Ultherapy is often combined with treatments that address skin quality or volume, since it focuses on lifting. Many patients pair it with a skin booster or an RF option like Thermage FLX. Your doctor sequences treatments and spacing so the skin is not over-stressed.
Ultherapy has been widely studied and is generally considered safe when performed by trained doctors using appropriate settings. Side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as redness or swelling. A consultation screens for contraindications like implanted electrical devices, and the DEEPSEE visualization helps place energy accurately.
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound that reaches the SMAS for deeper lifting, while Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency to heat the dermis broadly for overall tightening. Many patients choose Ultherapy for jawline and neck lift, and Thermage for crepey firmness. Your doctor advises which fits your skin at consultation.
Ultherapy is commonly used on the lower face, jawline, and neck, and a milder ultrasound option like Sofwave can suit finer laxity. The 4.5mm depth provides structural lift while 1.5 and 3.0mm refine skin quality. Your doctor maps the areas that benefit most during your consultation.
Ultherapy Prime is the current-generation device that pairs micro-focused ultrasound with DEEPSEE visualization, letting the doctor see tissue layers before delivering energy. This supports more precise, comfortable treatment across the 3 depths. It is the version used at our Myeongdong clinic for lifting and firming the face and neck.
Aftercare is simple: keep the skin clean, use gentle products, and apply daily sunscreen to protect the treated area. Avoid intense heat, saunas, and vigorous exercise for a day or two if advised. Because there are no wounds, no dressings are needed, and most people resume skincare routines quickly.
This page describes Ultherapy at our Myeongdong (Seoul) location at 5, Myeongdong 10-gil, Jung-gu, about 5 minutes from Myeongdong Station. The clinic supports international patients in English, and treatment is reviewed by Dr. Seung Jae Baek, Medical Director. You can also ask about our other Seoul-area locations.
Because Ultherapy is usually single-session, many international patients need only 1 to 2 days in Seoul, allowing a consultation and the treatment itself. There is no wound care, so you can sightsee afterward. Our English-speaking team at Myeongdong helps coordinate timing around your travel plans.
Yes, flying within a day or so is generally fine because Ultherapy is non-invasive with no incisions. Any redness or mild swelling usually settles quickly. Cabin air is drying, so moisturise and use sunscreen on arrival, and follow the simple aftercare your doctor at Myeongdong provides before you travel.
Since Ultherapy results build over 2 to 3 months, follow-up is often a remote check-in rather than an in-person visit. Our Myeongdong team offers English-language check-ins so you can share progress from home. Your treatment notes are kept on file, making any future maintenance session straightforward to plan.
