Ultherapy 300 shots in Seoul usually costs approximately ₩800,000 to ₩1,800,000, while 400 shots commonly range from ₩1,100,000 to ₩2,200,000. A comprehensive 600-shot treatment may cost ₩1,800,000 to ₩3,500,000. Ultherapy Prime and premium doctor-designed treatments may cost more than high-volume promotional options.
What Is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a non-surgical lifting treatment that delivers microfocused ultrasound energy into selected tissue depths. Real-time ultrasound imaging allows the medical provider to view the treatment layers before delivering energy.
Ultherapy may be used to improve:
- Mild facial sagging
- Early jowls
- Reduced jawline definition
- Mild cheek descent
- Brow laxity
- Loose neck skin
- Fine lines beneath the chin
- Mild skin laxity around the eyes
Ultherapy stimulates gradual collagen remodeling. It does not remove excess skin or produce the same result as facelift surgery.
What Is Ultherapy Prime?
Ultherapy Prime is an updated generation of the Ultherapy platform. It offers enhanced imaging and a more modern treatment interface while using the same general microfocused ultrasound principle.
Some clinics charge more for Ultherapy Prime than for the previous Ultherapy system. The difference may depend on:
- Newer equipment
- Improved imaging
- Clinic positioning
- Doctor experience
- Treatment planning
- Promotional availability
Patients should confirm whether the advertised price applies to Ultherapy Prime or the earlier Ultherapy system.
Ultherapy 100-Shot Cost
A 100-shot treatment is generally used for a small or focused area rather than comprehensive full-face lifting.
Typical prices include:
- Promotional 100 shots: ₩300,000 to ₩450,000
- Standard 100 shots: ₩400,000 to ₩600,000
- Premium doctor-performed treatment: ₩500,000 to ₩800,000
Possible treatment areas include:
- Brow
- Upper eye area
- Small jawline area
- Under the chin
- Selected lower-face zones
One hundred shots may not be sufficient for patients expecting full-face lifting.
Ultherapy 300-Shot Cost
Three hundred shots are commonly used for the lower face, cheeks, jawline, or a customized partial-face treatment.
Expected prices include:
- Promotional 300 shots: ₩800,000 to ₩1,100,000
- Standard 300 shots: ₩1,000,000 to ₩1,500,000
- Premium 300-shot treatment: ₩1,400,000 to ₩1,800,000 or more
The results depend on how the shots are distributed. A doctor may concentrate the energy along the jawline or spread the shots across several areas.
Ultherapy 400-Shot Cost
Four hundred shots may be selected for broader facial coverage or for patients requiring additional treatment along the lower face.
Typical prices include:
- Promotional 400 shots: ₩1,100,000 to ₩1,500,000
- Standard 400 shots: ₩1,400,000 to ₩1,900,000
- Premium 400-shot treatment: ₩1,800,000 to ₩2,200,000 or more
The neck or eye area may require additional shots depending on the treatment plan.
Ultherapy 600-Shot Cost
A 600-shot treatment may be recommended for comprehensive face-and-neck lifting.
Estimated prices include:
- Promotional 600 shots: ₩1,800,000 to ₩2,300,000
- Standard 600 shots: ₩2,200,000 to ₩2,900,000
- Premium 600-shot treatment: ₩2,800,000 to ₩3,500,000 or more
A higher shot count does not automatically create a better result. Facial size, tissue thickness, fat distribution, and laxity should determine the appropriate number and placement of shots.
Ultherapy Prime Cost in Seoul
Ultherapy Prime may be priced at a premium compared with the earlier system.
Expected prices include:
- Ultherapy Prime 100 shots: ₩400,000 to ₩800,000
- Ultherapy Prime 300 shots: ₩900,000 to ₩1,900,000
- Ultherapy Prime 400 shots: ₩1,300,000 to ₩2,300,000
- Ultherapy Prime 600 shots: ₩2,000,000 to ₩3,800,000
Monthly promotions may reduce these prices. Confirm whether VAT, numbing, and aftercare are included.
Eye Ultherapy Cost
Eye Ultherapy uses cartridges suitable for shallower tissue depths around the brow and eye area.
Typical prices include:
- Small brow-lifting treatment: ₩300,000 to ₩500,000
- Eye Ultherapy 100 shots: ₩300,000 to ₩700,000
- Premium eye treatment: ₩500,000 to ₩900,000
- Eye Ultherapy with Eye Rejuran: ₩600,000 to ₩1,300,000
- Eye Ultherapy with Eye Thermage: ₩1,500,000 to ₩2,500,000
Eye Ultherapy may improve mild brow or skin laxity, but it cannot remove eye bags, fill deep tear troughs, or replace blepharoplasty.
Ultherapy Neck Treatment Cost
The neck and area beneath the chin may require additional shots beyond a standard facial treatment.
Expected prices include:
- Submental area: ₩400,000 to ₩900,000
- Jawline and under the chin: ₩600,000 to ₩1,200,000
- Neck only: ₩800,000 to ₩1,800,000
- Full face and neck: ₩2,000,000 to ₩4,000,000
Patients with significant loose neck skin or prominent platysmal bands may not achieve sufficient correction with Ultherapy alone.
Ultherapy and Thermage Combination Cost
Ultherapy and Thermage are frequently combined because they use different energy systems.
Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound to selected deeper tissue layers. Thermage uses monopolar radiofrequency to improve overall skin firmness and elasticity.
Typical combination prices include:
- Ultherapy 300 shots with Thermage 300 shots: ₩2,000,000 to ₩3,500,000
- Ultherapy 300 shots with Thermage 600 shots: ₩3,000,000 to ₩4,500,000
- Ultherapy 600 shots with Thermage 600 shots: ₩3,500,000 to ₩6,000,000
- Premium face-and-neck combination: ₩4,000,000 to ₩7,000,000
Not every patient needs both treatments. The treatment plan should reflect the patient’s laxity, skin thickness, facial volume, and budget.
Ultherapy and Rejuran Cost
Rejuran may be added when skin texture, fine lines, pores, or elasticity are concerns in addition to sagging.
Expected prices include:
- Ultherapy 300 shots with Rejuran 2 cc: ₩1,200,000 to ₩2,200,000
- Ultherapy 300 shots with Rejuran 4 cc: ₩1,500,000 to ₩2,700,000
- Ultherapy 600 shots with Rejuran: ₩2,300,000 to ₩4,000,000
- Eye Ultherapy with Rejuran I: ₩600,000 to ₩1,300,000
Rejuran injections can cause temporary bumps, swelling, and bruising even though Ultherapy usually has little visible downtime.
Ultherapy and Botox Cost
Jaw Botox or skin Botox may be combined with Ultherapy to address muscular width, fine lines, oiliness, or pores.
Typical prices include:
- Ultherapy 300 shots with jaw Botox: ₩900,000 to ₩2,000,000
- Ultherapy with skin Botox: ₩1,100,000 to ₩2,300,000
- Ultherapy, jaw Botox, and contouring injection: ₩1,200,000 to ₩2,500,000
Ask for the Botox brand and dosage. Jaw Botox reduces masseter muscle activity; it does not tighten loose skin.
Ultherapy and Filler Cost
Some patients combine Ultherapy with filler to address both tissue laxity and facial volume loss.
Expected package prices include:
- Ultherapy with chin filler: ₩1,100,000 to ₩2,300,000
- Ultherapy with cheek filler: ₩1,500,000 to ₩3,500,000
- Ultherapy with full-face filler: ₩2,000,000 to ₩5,000,000
Treatment order and timing should be planned carefully. In some cases, Ultherapy may be performed before filler or the two procedures may be separated.
Ultherapy vs Korean HIFU Cost
Korean HIFU devices such as Shurink Universe are generally more affordable.
Typical Korean HIFU prices include:
- Small-area treatment: ₩50,000 to ₩150,000
- Full-face HIFU: ₩150,000 to ₩500,000
- Face-and-neck treatment: ₩300,000 to ₩800,000
- Premium HIFU combination: ₩500,000 to ₩1,200,000
Ultherapy usually costs more because of real-time imaging, branded cartridges, and its established treatment platform.
Shot numbers should not be compared directly across different devices because energy delivery and treatment protocols vary.
Why Are Some Ultherapy Prices So Low?
A low advertised price may apply to:
- Only 100 shots
- A small treatment area
- The earlier Ultherapy system rather than Ultherapy Prime
- A short-term promotion
- Prices before VAT
- Treatment excluding numbing or aftercare
- A package requiring additional procedures
- Before-and-after photo consent
Patients should also confirm that an authentic Ultherapy device and genuine cartridges will be used.
How to Verify Genuine Ultherapy
Before treatment, ask the clinic to confirm:
- The device is authentic Ultherapy or Ultherapy Prime
- Genuine cartridges are used
- The correct number of shots is recorded
- Real-time imaging will be used
- A licensed medical provider performs the treatment
- The clinic can provide authenticity verification when available
A genuine treatment should include ultrasound visualization rather than blind energy delivery.
Is Ultherapy Painful?
Ultherapy may cause brief sensations of heat, tingling, or aching as ultrasound energy is delivered.
Discomfort can be stronger:
- Along the jawbone
- Near the teeth
- Around the forehead
- In areas with thin tissue
- At higher energy settings
- During deeper cartridge treatment
Pain management may include topical numbing cream, oral medication, local anesthesia, nerve blocks, or sedation.
Additional Pain-Control Costs
Possible fees include:
- Topical numbing cream: Often included or ₩10,000 to ₩50,000
- Oral pain medication: Often included
- Local anesthesia or nerve block: ₩50,000 to ₩200,000
- Sleep sedation: ₩100,000 to ₩300,000 or more
Sedation requires appropriate medical monitoring and may not be necessary for every patient.
How Long Do Results Last?
Ultherapy results develop gradually as collagen remodeling occurs. Improvement may become more noticeable over two to three months and continue developing for several months.
Results may last approximately one year or longer depending on:
- Age
- Degree of skin laxity
- Treatment intensity
- Shot placement
- Weight changes
- Skin condition
- Lifestyle
- Individual collagen response
Ultherapy does not stop natural aging. Maintenance treatment may be considered when laxity begins to return.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Many patients receive one comprehensive treatment and assess the result over the following months.
Some patients with mild concerns may repeat Ultherapy annually. Others may combine it with radiofrequency, Botox, filler, or skin boosters.
Repeated treatment should be based on medical assessment rather than being scheduled too frequently.
Ultherapy Downtime
Ultherapy generally requires minimal visible recovery.
Temporary effects may include:
- Redness
- Mild swelling
- Tenderness
- Tingling
- Temporary numbness
- Bruising
- Sensitivity when touching the face
- Temporary discomfort near the jaw
Most patients can return to regular activities shortly after treatment.
Possible Risks
Potential risks include:
- Burns
- Prolonged swelling
- Welts
- Temporary numbness
- Nerve irritation
- Uneven results
- Temporary weakness
- Facial fat loss
- Increased facial hollowing
- Unsatisfactory lifting
Patients with thin faces or limited facial fat require careful treatment planning. Excessive or poorly placed energy may worsen hollowing.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Ultherapy may be suitable for patients who:
- Have mild-to-moderate facial laxity
- Have early jowls
- Want better jawline definition
- Prefer a non-surgical procedure
- Want gradual and natural-looking improvement
- Can accept subtle rather than surgical lifting
- Have realistic expectations
Patients with advanced sagging or significant excess skin may receive more meaningful improvement from facelift or neck-lift surgery.
Are Foreigners Charged More?
Some Seoul clinics use the same price menu for Korean and international patients. Others offer international packages that may include:
- English-speaking consultation
- Translation
- Appointment coordination
- Longer consultation time
- Private treatment rooms
- Follow-up assistance
Request an itemized quote showing the device, shot count, treatment areas, anesthesia, VAT, and included services.
Is VAT Included?
Ultherapy is generally subject to 10% VAT. Some clinics include tax in the advertised price, while others add it at payment.
The special cosmetic medical VAT-refund program previously available to international visitors ended on December 31, 2025. Foreign patients should budget for the complete VAT-inclusive amount unless the clinic confirms another current arrangement.
Before booking, ask:
- Is 10% VAT included?
- Is the promotion available to foreigners?
- Is this Ultherapy or Ultherapy Prime?
- Are numbing and pain medication included?
- Is sedation charged separately?
- What is the final payment amount?
How Much Should Foreigners Budget?
For Ultherapy 100 shots, budget approximately ₩300,000 to ₩700,000.
For Ultherapy 300 shots, budget approximately ₩800,000 to ₩1,800,000.
For Ultherapy 400 shots, budget approximately ₩1,100,000 to ₩2,200,000.
For Ultherapy 600 shots, budget approximately ₩1,800,000 to ₩3,500,000.
For a premium Ultherapy and Thermage combination, budget approximately ₩3,500,000 to ₩6,000,000 or more.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
Before booking Ultherapy in Seoul, ask:
- Is the device genuine Ultherapy or Ultherapy Prime?
- How many shots are included?
- Which areas will be treated?
- Which cartridge depths will be used?
- Will real-time imaging be used?
- Who performs the procedure?
- Is the neck or eye area included?
- Are numbing and pain control included?
- Is 10% VAT included?
- What results are realistic for my facial anatomy?
Final Thoughts
Ultherapy costs in Seoul range from approximately ₩300,000 for a small 100-shot treatment to more than ₩3,000,000 for comprehensive face-and-neck lifting.
International patients should compare the authentic device, shot count, cartridge depths, treatment coverage, imaging, doctor involvement, pain management, and final VAT-inclusive price. The best Ultherapy treatment is not necessarily the one with the most shots—it is the one planned appropriately for the patient’s anatomy and degree of laxity.
