Ultherapy in Seoul
a natural, non-surgical lift
Ultherapy uses micro-focused ultrasound to reach the deep SMAS layer — the same layer tightened in a surgical facelift — to stimulate new collagen and gently lift the jawline, neck and brow without incisions.

What is Ultherapy and how long does it last?
Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive lifting treatment that delivers focused ultrasound energy to the skin's deeper layers (including the SMAS) to trigger collagen remodelling. At JIA Skin Clinic Gangnam a session takes about 30–60 minutes, most people return to normal activities the same day, lifting develops gradually over 2–3 months, and results typically last around 9–18 months depending on age and skin condition.
A doctor-led lift, mapped to your face
Every Ultherapy plan at JIA is designed and performed under the direction of our physician, with energy depth and line count adjusted to your facial structure — never a one-size-fits-all package.
Custom depth mapping
Transducer depth (1.5 / 3.0 / 4.5 mm) is chosen area by area so the jawline, cheeks and neck each get the right level of energy.
Comfort-focused care
A pain-minimisation protocol and paced delivery help make treatment more comfortable for first-time patients.
Transparent pricing
VAT-inclusive quotes and no foreigner mark-ups — you know the full cost before treatment starts.
Clear English communication
Consultation, aftercare and follow-up in English, with WhatsApp support for international visitors.
Concerns we commonly lift
Ultherapy is best for early to moderate skin laxity rather than heavy sagging. Typical concerns include:
- Softening jawline and early jowls
- Loose skin under the chin and on the neck
- Heavy or lowered brows
- Lower-face sagging skin
- Loss of facial definition with age
- Fine crepey lines on the décolletage

How an Ultherapy session works
Consultation
Your doctor assesses laxity, skin thickness and goals, and confirms Ultherapy is the right tool — or suggests an alternative.
Face mapping
Treatment lines and depths are marked area by area, and numbing or comfort measures are prepared.
Ultrasound delivery
Focused energy is delivered along the map for about 30–60 minutes; you may feel brief warm, deep pulses.
Aftercare & review
Mild redness or tenderness settles quickly. Lifting builds over 2–3 months as new collagen forms.

Ultherapy questions, answered
Does Ultherapy hurt?
Most patients describe brief, deep warm pulses. Sensitivity varies by area — the jawline and areas over bone can feel stronger. JIA uses a comfort-focused protocol and adjusts pacing as needed.
How soon will I see results from Ultherapy?
Some tightening may be noticed early, but the main lift develops gradually over 2–3 months as collagen rebuilds, with continued improvement for several months.
How long do Ultherapy results last?
Results typically last around 9–18 months depending on age, skin quality and lifestyle. Many patients choose one maintenance session a year.
Ultherapy vs Thermage — which is better?
Ultherapy targets deeper layers (including the SMAS) for lifting, while Thermage uses radiofrequency to tighten and smooth the skin surface. They are often combined; your doctor will recommend based on your laxity and skin texture.
Can I fly or travel after Ultherapy in Seoul?
Yes. There is little to no downtime, so most international visitors continue sightseeing or fly home within a day or two. Avoid saunas and intense heat for a couple of days.
