What is Ultherapy in Gangnam, and how is it delivered at RE:BERRY?
Ultherapy is FDA-cleared micro-focused ultrasound that images and lifts the SMAS at 4.5, 3.0, and 1.5mm; at RE:BERRY in Gangnam, Seoul it is delivered on the Ultherapy Prime platform — the same manufacturer's upgraded HIFU device — from ₩330,000 ($236 USD) for 100 shots, 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 depths 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 from a single session generally last around 12–18 months; RE:BERRY will guide the repeat interval that suits you.

Effects & Progress
Sagging happens across several layers at once, so treating one layer is often not enough. Ultherapy delivers micro-focused ultrasound to the SMAS at 4.5mm — the same support layer surgeons tighten in a surgical lift — while also stimulating the shallower dermis at 3.0 and 1.5mm, so it addresses laxity at multiple depths in a single session.
Controlled thermal energy creates tiny coagulation points within the skin, triggering its repair process to rebuild collagen and elastin. Firming develops naturally over about 8–12 weeks and peaks around 2–3 months instead of appearing overnight, and the change comes from your own tissue — not from any implanted material. Results vary by individual.
The defining feature of Ultherapy is visualization: real-time ultrasound imaging shows the SMAS and dermis before each shot, so your physician places energy where laxity actually sits, never working blind. Delivered on the upgraded Ultherapy Prime platform, targeting is refined further, and the energy level is tuned to the sensitivity of each zone, managed with numbing cream and adjusted to your response.
Because the ultrasound 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 Ultherapy 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 in Gangnam Delivers — and How the Result Builds
- Real-time imaging advantage: Ultherapy is the micro-focused ultrasound platform that lets the physician see the SMAS and dermis before each of the 100 shots, so your anatomy — and nothing else — decides where energy is placed
- SMAS-depth lifting without surgery: the 4.5mm transducer reaches the same fascial layer a surgical facelift tightens, so cheeks and jowls lift with no incision and no general anesthesia
- Delivered honestly on the upgraded platform: at RE:BERRY your Ultherapy is performed on Ultherapy Prime — the same manufacturer's refined HIFU device — with the full device page linked so you know exactly what treats you
- Published price you can verify before booking: 100 shots is ₩330,000 ($236 USD) at RE:BERRY Gangnam, and the bill matches that figure with no add-on charges
- 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 case in Gangnam is never handed to another practitioner, and the device is registered with Korea's MFDS
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Ultherapy 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 at 2-3 months; results from a single Ultherapy session typically hold 12-18 months |
Ultherapy vs Sofwave vs Thermage FLX — Choosing a Lifting Path in Gangnam
| Criteria | Ultherapy (RE:BERRY Gangnam) | Sofwave (HIFU) | Thermage FLX (RF) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy type | HIFU / MFU-V micro-focused ultrasound | SUPERB parallel-beam ultrasound | Monopolar radiofrequency (RF) |
| How it reaches tissue | Focal points at 1.5 / 3.0 / 4.5mm, reaching the SMAS | Cylindrical parallel beams heating the mid-dermis at ~1.5mm | Broad dermal volume heating at a 3mm working depth |
| Real-time imaging | Yes — the physician sees the SMAS before each shot | No sub-surface visualization | No sub-surface visualization |
| Best for | Sagging, jowls, jawline definition at the fascial layer | Fine surface laxity and skin quality in the dermis | Overall skin looseness and texture |
| Sessions needed | Single session | Single session | Single session |
| Session time | 30-45 minutes for 100 shots | 30-45 minutes | 45-90 minutes for 600 shots |
| Downtime | 24-72 hours mild redness | Minimal, hours | None — same-day makeup and flights |
| Peak result | 2-3 months, holds 12-18 months | Around 12 weeks | 2-6 months, holds 12-24 months |
| Published price | ₩330,000 ($236 USD) / 100 shots | Published on its treatment page | ₩1,990,000 ($1,421 USD) / 600 shots |
Why This Matters
These three sit on different axes: Ultherapy is micro-focused ultrasound that reaches the SMAS at 4.5mm with real-time imaging, Sofwave is parallel-beam ultrasound that heats the mid-dermis for surface laxity, and Thermage FLX is monopolar RF that heats a broad dermal volume. Many RE:BERRY Gangnam patients stage a deep ultrasound lift with dermal-level treatment because they act on different layers.
Seoul pricing is a large part of why Ultherapy in Gangnam draws medical travelers. RE:BERRY publishes 100 shots at ₩330,000 ($236 USD), while comparable micro-focused ultrasound lifting runs materially higher in the US, Japan, and Australia — an advantage Gangnam retains into 2026 on the published rate alone.
Who delivers your shots matters as much as the device. In KHIDI's 2025 survey, 41.4% of Japanese patients put 'same doctor throughout treatment' first when choosing a Korean clinic — and RE:BERRY works that way: the physician who images your SMAS delivers all 100 shots and reads your review personally.

The Evidence Behind Ultherapy Micro-Focused Ultrasound Lifting
Ultherapy is a micro-focused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) device: it focuses ultrasound energy to discrete points that reach 60-70°C, forming thermal 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 — the mechanism behind lifting that peaks at 2-3 months, not immediately.
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.1524-4725.2011.02094.x
The visualization step is what distinguishes Ultherapy from blind ultrasound: the real-time imaging built into the platform lets the physician confirm the target layers before each shot. A décolletage study (n=24) using this imaging reported significant improvement in 88% of subjects at 90 days, and a prospective facial trial (n=93) recorded a 58.1% blinded-reviewer improvement in brow lift, confirming that accurate depth targeting — not shot count alone — drives the outcome.

Durability and patient selection close the loop. A long-term facial and neck study using a customized vectoring method recorded sustained lifting well beyond 6 months, supporting the 12-18 month window RE:BERRY quotes, and a Korean device review frames candidacy — mild-to-moderate laxity responds best. This is why the physician images laxity first and, when Ultherapy is delivered on the Ultherapy Prime platform, sets 100 versus 300 shots from what the ultrasound shows, never from a fixed menu.

Questions International Guests Ask About Ultherapy in Gangnam
What is Ultherapy, and how does the ultrasound lift actually work?
Ultherapy is FDA-cleared micro-focused ultrasound (MFU-V) that focuses energy to 60-70°C points in the SMAS and dermis at 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5mm, triggering collagen remodeling and lifting over 8-12 weeks. It is not RF, laser, or shockwave — the ultrasound reaches the SMAS, the same fascial layer a surgical facelift tightens, at RE:BERRY Gangnam.
Is Ultherapy at RE:BERRY the classic device or Ultherapy Prime?
At RE:BERRY Gangnam your Ultherapy is delivered on the Ultherapy Prime platform — the same manufacturer's upgraded HIFU device with the identical SMAS 4.5mm mechanism and real-time imaging.
| Feature | Classic Ultherapy | Ultherapy Prime |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | MFU-V ultrasound | MFU-V ultrasound |
| SMAS depth | 4.5mm | 4.5mm |
| Imaging | Real-time | Real-time, refined targeting |
How much does Ultherapy cost in Gangnam, Seoul in 2026?
₩330,000 ($236 USD) covers Ultherapy 100 shots at RE:BERRY Gangnam, delivered on the Ultherapy Prime platform, published before you book with no add-ons. A 300-shot full lower-face course is ₩990,000 ($707 USD). The same ultrasound lift in Seoul commonly runs 50-70% less than typical US clinic pricing.
How does Ultherapy pricing in Korea compare with other countries?
Seoul runs well below the US, UK, and Australia for comparable micro-focused ultrasound lifting.
| Country | Full-face ultrasound lifting (typical) |
|---|---|
| Korea (RE:BERRY Gangnam) | ₩990,000 ($707 USD) |
| USA | $2,500-$4,000 |
| Japan | $1,500-$2,800 |
| UK | $2,000-$3,500 |
| Australia | $2,200-$3,600 |
| Thailand | $900-$1,600 |
How many shots of Ultherapy do I need for the lower face?
100 shots (₩330,000 / $236 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 sets shot count after imaging your laxity in real time, so the plan matches your anatomy — no preset package decides it.
What is the real-time imaging advantage of Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is the ultrasound platform that images the SMAS and dermis before each shot, so the physician places energy where laxity actually sits instead of following a blind grid. A décolletage study found 88% of subjects improved at 90 days using this visualization — evidence that seeing the target layer, not shot count alone, drives the lifting result in Seoul.
Ultherapy vs Thermage FLX — which should I choose in Gangnam?
Choose by mechanism: Ultherapy is ultrasound that lifts sagging at the SMAS, while Thermage FLX is RF that tightens broad surface looseness.
| Feature | Ultherapy | Thermage FLX |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | MFU-V ultrasound | Monopolar RF |
| Best for | Sagging, jowls | Surface tightening |
| Price | ₩330,000 / 100 shots | ₩1,990,000 / 600 shots |
How is Ultherapy different from Sofwave in Gangnam?
Both are ultrasound, but the depth differs: Ultherapy reaches the SMAS at 4.5mm for lifting, while Sofwave heats the mid-dermis with parallel beams for surface laxity.
| Feature | Ultherapy | Sofwave |
|---|---|---|
| Depth | 1.5 / 3.0 / 4.5mm SMAS | ~1.5mm mid-dermis |
| Imaging | Real-time | None |
| Best for | Deep sag | Fine laxity |
Does Ultherapy 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 ($236 USD) price at RE:BERRY Gangnam, so no separate anesthesia charge is added to your quote.
How long does downtime last after Ultherapy, and can I fly home?
Downtime is short — mild redness and tenderness settle within 24-72 hours after Ultherapy, 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 Ultherapy results, and how long do they last?
Peak lifting appears at 2-3 months as the micro-coagulation points in the SMAS remodel into new collagen; some tightening is visible immediately from tissue contraction. A single Ultherapy session at RE:BERRY Gangnam typically holds 12-18 months, after which a maintenance session sustains the lift.
Who performs the Ultherapy treatment at RE:BERRY Gangnam?
A licensed physician performs every session — Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu (Korean MOHW Medical License No.131644) or Dr. Yejin Oh (License No.144238). The doctor who images your SMAS places all 100 shots and reads your review, so your Ultherapy case in Gangnam is never handed to an unseen practitioner.
Should I choose a boutique or a franchise clinic for Ultherapy in Gangnam?
For Ultherapy, boutique continuity matters because depth targeting depends on the same physician reading your imaging.
| Feature | Boutique | Franchise |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation | 20+ minutes | 5-10 minutes |
| Doctor | Same throughout | Rotates |
| Imaging | By physician | Often technician-led |
How many days should I stay in Seoul for Ultherapy?
2-3 days is enough for Ultherapy in Seoul — consultation and the 30-45 minute session can be same-day, with a free review before departure. Because ultrasound-lift downtime is measured in hours, not weeks, Gangnam sightseeing fits between appointments, and most guests combine the lift with skin work over a 3-4 day trip.
Why choose RE:BERRY for Ultherapy over other Gangnam clinics?
RE:BERRY publishes Ultherapy 100 shots at ₩330,000 ($236 USD) and is transparent that it is delivered on the Ultherapy Prime platform, with one physician imaging and treating each case — no rotation, no handoffs, no add-ons. The device is MFDS-registered, and staff interpreters cover 5 languages at this single Gangnam location, a wider aftercare scope than most walk-in HIFU shops in Seoul provide.

Science Ultherapy micro-focused ultrasound lifting — peer-reviewed references
Ultherapy rests on more than a decade of peer-reviewed evidence for micro-focused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) lifting. A rater-blinded prospective cohort (n=93) recorded a 58.1% blinded-reviewer improvement in brow lift after a single treatment (Alam 2010), a clinical-histologic study in Asian skin (n=22) confirmed dermal collagen remodeling at the SMAS depth of 4.5mm (Suh 2011), and a décolletage study reported significant improvement in 88% of subjects at 90 days using real-time visualization (Fabi 2013). Long-term facial and neck data documented sustained lifting beyond 6 months (Werschler 2016), while a Korean device review frames patient selection — mild-to-moderate laxity responds best (Park 2021).
