How much is Ultherapy Prime in Gangnam, and what does it do?
₩330,000 ($238 USD) buys Ultherapy Prime 100 shots at RE:BERRY in Gangnam, Seoul — a HIFU treatment that delivers focused ultrasound to the SMAS at 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5mm to lift and tighten without surgery, performed by a licensed physician with the price published before you book.
Effects & Progress
Effects & Progress
Micro-focused ultrasound reaches the SMAS layer — the same support layer surgeons tighten in a facelift — so multiple layers are lifted in a single session.
Mild redness, warmth, or slight swelling may appear in the treated zones. Most settle within a few hours to a day, and makeup is usually fine the same day.
Firming begins as collagen regeneration gets underway. Many people notice the skin feels tighter to the touch before the visible result fully appears.
The stage of full, visible results — collagen and elastin renewal is well underway, and the jawline and cheeks look firmer. Response speed varies by individual.
Maintenance period. Results generally last around a year; RE:BERRY will guide the repeat interval that suits you.

Effects & Progress
Sagging happens across several layers at once, so treating a single layer is often not enough. Ulthera Prime delivers micro-focused ultrasound energy to the SMAS layer — the same support layer surgeons tighten in a surgical lift — while also stimulating the shallower dermis, so it addresses laxity at multiple depths in one session.
Controlled thermal energy creates tiny stimulation points within the skin, triggering its repair process to rebuild collagen and elastin. Firming develops naturally over about 8–12 weeks rather than appearing overnight, and the change comes from your own tissue — not from any implanted material. Results vary by individual.
Ulthera Prime is an updated transducer that distributes energy more evenly and precisely. Your physician tunes the energy level to the sensitivity of each zone, which helps reduce discomfort during treatment compared with earlier lifting devices. You may feel brief warmth or a light tingling in rhythm with each pulse, managed with numbing cream and by adjusting the energy to your response.
Because the energy passes through the skin with no incision or open wound, there is no recovery room stay and most people resume daily life right away, often with makeup the same day. Mild redness, warmth, or slight swelling may occur but usually settles within a few hours to a few days. This makes Ulthera Prime well suited to busy schedules and travelers. Every transducer is genuine and officially imported, and the sealed tip is confirmed with you before it is opened.

What Ultherapy Prime in Gangnam Delivers — and How Recovery Unfolds
- SMAS-depth HIFU lifting without surgery: focused ultrasound reaches 4.5mm — the same fascial layer a surgical facelift tightens — so cheeks and jowls lift with no incision and no general anesthesia
- Published price you can verify before booking: Ultherapy Prime 100 shots is ₩330,000 ($238 USD) at RE:BERRY Gangnam, and the bill matches that figure with no add-on charges
- DeepSEE real-time visualization lets the physician see the SMAS and dermis before each shot, placing the 100 shots by laxity rather than a fixed grid
- Short downtime: mild redness and tenderness settle within 24-72 hours, so you can fly home the same or next day and fit sightseeing between appointments
- Same physician from consultation through the 100-shot treatment to your review — your Ultherapy Prime case in Gangnam is never handed to another practitioner
- Manufacturer-certified Ultherapy device registered with Korea's MFDS, with serial numbers verifiable at the source, and skin assessed on a Mark-Vu multispectral analyzer
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Ultherapy Prime session complete in 30-45 minutes of shots; mild redness and a warm, tight feeling — makeup and flying permitted the same or next day | |
| Redness and tenderness fade; some report immediate skin tightening as the SMAS contracts, though this is the smaller early effect | |
| New collagen forms along the treated jawline and cheeks as the micro-coagulation points remodel | |
| Peak lifting and tightening appear; results from a single Ultherapy Prime session typically hold 12-18 months |
Ultherapy Prime vs Other Lifting Options, and How Gangnam Pricing Compares
| Criteria | Ultherapy Prime (RE:BERRY Gangnam) | Standard Ultherapy | Thermage FLX (RF) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy type | HIFU / MMFU focused ultrasound | HIFU focused ultrasound | Monopolar radiofrequency (RF) |

| Best for | Sagging, jowls, jawline definition | Sagging and mild laxity | Overall skin tightening and texture |
| Real-time visualization | DeepSEE ultrasound imaging of the SMAS | DeepSEE ultrasound imaging | No sub-surface visualization |
| Session time | 30-45 minutes for 100 shots | 30-60 minutes | 45-90 minutes |
| Downtime | 24-72 hours mild redness | 24-72 hours mild redness | Minimal, hours |
| Peak result | Around week 12, holds 12-18 months | Around week 12 | 2-6 months, holds 12-24 months |
| Published price | ₩330,000 ($238 USD) / 100 shots | ₩330,000 ($238 USD) / 100 shots | ₩1,990,000 ($1,436 USD) / 600 shots |
Why This Matters
Ultherapy Prime and Thermage FLX are not competitors on the same axis: Ultherapy Prime is HIFU focused ultrasound reaching the SMAS at 4.5mm for lifting, while Thermage FLX is monopolar RF that heats a broad dermal volume for tightening. Many RE:BERRY Gangnam patients stage both — HIFU for the lift, RF for surface tightening.
Seoul pricing is a large part of why Ultherapy Prime in Gangnam draws medical travelers. RE:BERRY publishes 100 shots at ₩330,000 ($238 USD), while equivalent HIFU sessions run materially higher in the US, Japan, and Australia — a price advantage Gangnam retains into 2026 on the published rate alone.
KHIDI's 2025 international patient survey found 41.4% of respondents rank keeping the same doctor throughout as their leading criterion. At RE:BERRY the physician who maps your SMAS on DeepSEE also delivers all 100 shots and reads your review.

The Evidence Behind Ultherapy Prime HIFU Lifting
Ultherapy Prime is a HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound), or MMFU, device: it focuses ultrasound energy to discrete points that reach 60-70°C, forming micro-coagulation zones in the SMAS and dermis at 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5mm. A clinical and histologic study in Asian skin (n=22) documented dermal collagen remodeling and measurable tightening after a single session, with the deepest 4.5mm plane reaching the fascial layer a surgical lift targets.
Suh DH, Shin MK, Lee SJ, et al. Intense focused ultrasound tightening in Asian skin: clinical and pathologic results. Dermatol Surg. 2011;37(11):1595-1602. doi:10.1111/j.1524-4725.2011.02080.x
Micro-focused ultrasound with visualization (the DeepSEE system built into the Ultherapy platform) lets the physician image the target layers before each shot. A décolletage study (n=24) using this visualization reported significant improvement in 88% of subjects at 90 days, confirming that real-time targeting of the correct depth drives the lifting outcome rather than shot count alone.

Durability data support the 12-18 month window RE:BERRY quotes: a long-term facial and neck study using a customized vectoring HIFU method recorded sustained lifting and tightening well beyond 6 months. A Korean review of micro- and macro-focused ultrasound devices further frames patient selection — candidates with mild-to-moderate laxity respond best, which is why the physician screens laxity on DeepSEE before recommending 100 versus 300 shots.

Are there hidden fees on top of the Ultherapy Prime price in Gangnam?
No — the ₩330,000 ($238 USD) figure for 100 shots at RE:BERRY Gangnam includes the physician's DeepSEE mapping, topical anesthesia, and one pre-departure review in a single written quote. Seoul HIFU pricing runs 50-70% less than typical US clinics on the published rate alone, and the clinic overview lists every lifting price openly.
What is Ultherapy Prime, and how is it different from standard Ultherapy?
Ultherapy Prime is Merz Aesthetics' upgraded HIFU (focused ultrasound) lifting platform that targets the SMAS more precisely than standard Ultherapy, delivering energy at 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5mm. Both use DeepSEE visualization; Prime refines transducer targeting of the fascial layer for jawline and lower-face lifting at RE:BERRY Gangnam.
Is Ultherapy Prime the same as HIFU or is it a different technology?
Ultherapy Prime is a HIFU device — HIFU means high-intensity focused ultrasound, sometimes called MMFU. It is not radiofrequency, laser, or shockwave. At RE:BERRY Gangnam the physician focuses ultrasound energy to micro-coagulation points at 60-70°C in the SMAS to trigger collagen remodeling and lifting over 8-12 weeks.
How many shots of Ultherapy Prime do I need for the lower face?
100 shots (₩330,000 / $238 USD) suit a focused jawline or partial lower-face lift, while 300 shots (₩990,000 / $707 USD) cover the full lower face, cheeks, and jawline. At RE:BERRY Gangnam the physician recommends shot count after imaging your laxity on DeepSEE, so the plan matches your anatomy rather than a fixed package.
Ultherapy Prime vs Thermage FLX — which should I choose in Gangnam?
Choose by mechanism: Ultherapy Prime is HIFU that lifts sagging at the SMAS, while Thermage FLX is RF that tightens overall skin looseness.
| Feature | Ultherapy Prime | Thermage FLX |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | HIFU ultrasound | Radiofrequency (RF) |
| Best for | Sagging, jowls | Surface tightening |
| Price | ₩330,000 / 100 shots | ₩1,990,000 / 600 shots |
Can I combine Ultherapy Prime with Thermage or a skin booster?
Yes — Ultherapy Prime (HIFU lifting) pairs well with Thermage FLX (RF tightening) or a skin booster, since they act on different layers.
| Combo | Effect |
|---|---|
| Ultherapy Prime + Thermage | Lift plus surface tighten |
| Ultherapy Prime + booster | Lift plus skin quality |
Is Ultherapy Prime safe, and what are the side effects?
Ultherapy Prime is a HIFU procedure with a well-documented safety record; a Korean study of focused-ultrasound tightening in Asian skin recorded collagen remodeling without significant adverse events. At RE:BERRY Gangnam expect mild redness and tenderness for 24-72 hours, performed by a licensed physician on a device registered with Korea's MFDS.
How long does downtime last after Ultherapy Prime, and can I fly home?
Downtime is short — mild redness and tenderness settle within 24-72 hours after Ultherapy Prime, and you can fly the same or next day since there is no incision or ablative wound. RE:BERRY Gangnam sequences your plan around your departure date, and the treatment fits easily into a 3-4 day Seoul itinerary.
When will I see results from Ultherapy Prime, and how long do they last?
Peak lifting from Ultherapy Prime appears around week 12, as the micro-coagulation points in the SMAS remodel into new collagen; some tightening is visible immediately from tissue contraction. A single session typically holds 12-18 months, after which a maintenance session at RE:BERRY Gangnam sustains the lift.
Does Ultherapy Prime hurt, and is anesthesia included in Gangnam?
You feel brief heat with each of the 100 shots, strongest along bony areas; most guests rate it manageable. Topical anesthetic is applied for 20-30 minutes and is included in the ₩330,000 ($238 USD) price at RE:BERRY Gangnam, so there is no separate anesthesia charge added to your quote.
Who performs the Ultherapy Prime treatment at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
A licensed physician performs every Ultherapy Prime session — Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu (Korean MOHW Medical License No.131644) or Dr. Yejin Oh (License No.144238). The doctor who maps your SMAS on DeepSEE places all 100 shots and reads your review; your case is never handed to an unseen practitioner.
Does the same doctor handle my Ultherapy Prime consultation, treatment, and follow-up?
Yes — the physician who images your SMAS at consultation delivers the shots and reviews your result, and RE:BERRY Gangnam schedules all three stages inside that doctor's hours. The 90-day WhatsApp follow-up after you fly home stays with the same team, so your Ultherapy Prime context never has to be re-explained.
Should I choose a boutique or a franchise clinic for Ultherapy Prime in Gangnam?
For Ultherapy Prime, boutique continuity matters because depth targeting depends on the same physician reading your SMAS.
| Feature | Boutique | Franchise |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation | 20+ minutes | 5-10 minutes |
| Doctor | Same throughout | Rotates |
| Depth mapping | DeepSEE by physician | Often technician-led |
How many days should I stay in Seoul for Ultherapy Prime?
2-3 days is enough for Ultherapy Prime — consultation and the 30-45 minute session can be same-day, with a free review before departure. Because HIFU downtime is measured in hours rather than weeks, Gangnam sightseeing fits between appointments, and most guests combine the lift with skin work over a 3-4 day trip.
What follow-up do I get after Ultherapy Prime once I return home?
90 days of WhatsApp follow-up comes standard: your RE:BERRY Gangnam team reviews your lifting photos and answers questions in English after you fly home, tracking the week-12 collagen peak. A free in-person review is held before departure — book through the home page, a wider aftercare scope than most walk-in HIFU shops in Seoul provide.
Am I a good candidate for Ultherapy Prime, or should I consider something else?
Good candidates have mild-to-moderate sagging along the cheeks or jawline and want a non-surgical lift with short downtime. Severe skin excess responds better to surgery, and Ultherapy Prime is not scheduled during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The physician at RE:BERRY Gangnam confirms suitability after imaging your laxity on DeepSEE.
Why choose RE:BERRY for Ultherapy Prime over other Gangnam clinics?
RE:BERRY publishes Ultherapy Prime 100 shots at ₩330,000 ($238 USD) with one physician mapping and treating each case on DeepSEE — no rotation, no case handoffs, no add-on charges. The Ultherapy device is manufacturer-certified and MFDS-registered, and staff interpreters cover 8 languages at this single Gangnam location; the home page shows the full clinic overview.

Science Ultherapy Prime HIFU lifting — peer-reviewed references
Ultherapy and its Ultherapy Prime upgrade sit on more than a decade of peer-reviewed evidence for micro-focused ultrasound (HIFU/MMFU) lifting. FDA-cleared pivotal work established safety and efficacy for lifting lax facial and neck skin, and a clinical-histologic study in Asian skin (n=22) confirmed dermal collagen remodeling at the SMAS depth of 4.5mm after a single session (Suh 2011). Studies using micro-focused ultrasound with visualization — the DeepSEE system built into the platform — reported significant improvement in 88% of subjects at 90 days on the décolletage (Fabi 2013), while long-term facial and neck data documented sustained lifting beyond 6 months (Werschler 2016). A Korean device review frames patient selection: mild-to-moderate laxity responds best, which is why depth and shot count are set from DeepSEE imaging rather than a fixed template.
