Ultherapy in Busan Seomyeon
Quick answer: Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared micro-focused ultrasound treatment that uses real-time imaging to place heat in the deep supportive layers of the face and neck, prompting gradual collagen renewal and a subtle lift. It is generally suited to adults with mild to moderate laxity who want a non-surgical option. At Daybeau Seomyeon the listed Ultherapy option is the current-generation Ultherapy Prime, 300 shots for ₩990,000 on a first visit (VAT excluded).

How Ultherapy works
Ultherapy delivers tiny points of focused ultrasound energy beneath the skin surface. Each point heats tissue to a temperature that can stimulate the body's own collagen remodelling, while the skin surface is left intact. The built-in ultrasound imaging lets the practitioner see the tissue layers and adjust depth, which is the main feature that separates it from many other HIFU treatments .
Ultherapy and Ultherapy Prime
Ultherapy Prime is the newer platform from the same manufacturer, with an updated imaging display and handpiece. The core mechanism is the same. At our clinic, Ultherapy is offered on the Ultherapy Prime system, so the listed 300-shot price refers to that device.
Who it may suit
- Early jowling or a softening jawline (see jawline lifting )
- Mild brow or cheek descent
- Loose skin under the chin or on the neck
- People who prefer a single, longer-interval treatment over frequent sessions
Very heavy laxity, significant excess skin or certain medical conditions may make a different approach more appropriate; this is assessed during the physician-supervised consultation.
How it compares
If you want a gentler, more affordable ultrasound option, Shurink Universe is a Korean HIFU device often used for maintenance. Sofwave targets the mid-dermis for fine lines and texture, while monopolar RF such as XERF heats a broader volume of tissue for overall tightening.
Aftercare
You can usually return to normal activities straight away. Mild swelling, tingling or tenderness along the jaw may last a few days. Use gentle skincare and sunscreen, and avoid saunas or intense heat for a day or two.
Ultherapy FAQ
Is Ultherapy the same as HIFU?
Ultherapy is a type of focused ultrasound, so it belongs to the broader HIFU family. Its distinguishing feature is real-time ultrasound imaging, which lets the practitioner see tissue layers and place energy at chosen depths. Many other HIFU devices do not include this imaging.
How long until I see Ultherapy results?
Some people notice a slight firmness soon after treatment, but the main changes typically develop over two to three months as new collagen forms. Results are gradual and vary between individuals.
How many Ultherapy sessions are needed?
Many patients have one session and then review their skin after several months. Some choose a maintenance session roughly once a year. The plan depends on skin condition and goals and is decided at consultation.
How much does Ultherapy cost in Busan at Daybeau Seomyeon?
Ultherapy at Daybeau Seomyeon is performed on the Ultherapy Prime system. The first-visit price is ₩990,000 for 300 shots, excluding VAT. A larger area may need more shots, which is confirmed after a skin assessment.
