What Is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared ultrasound lifting treatment designed to tighten and lift skin by stimulating the body’s natural collagen regeneration process.

Unlike lasers or RF treatments that focus on surface layers, Ultherapy reaches deeper structural layers, including the SMAS layer—the same layer addressed in surgical facelifts.

Key characteristics

• Non-surgical
• No needles or incisions
• Uses focused ultrasound energy
• Gradual, natural results

Why Ultherapy Is Popular in Seoul

Seoul is globally recognized for advanced aesthetic medicine, and Ultherapy has become a go-to option for people who want visible lifting without surgery.

Reasons Ultherapy is widely chosen in Seoul

• High demand for natural, non-overdone results
• Strong focus on collagen-based anti-aging
• Preference for treatments with minimal downtime
• Combination-friendly with other non-surgical procedures

How Ultherapy Works

Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound energy at controlled depths beneath the skin.

What happens under the skin

• Ultrasound energy heats precise tissue points
• Triggers collagen contraction and regeneration
• Skin gradually tightens and lifts over time

The built-in imaging system allows precise targeting of the treatment depth, improving safety and effectiveness.
