Ultherapy in Gangnam, Seoul
Micro-focused ultrasound that lifts the brow, jawline and neck without surgery — planned and performed by MIN Clinic physicians, explained to you in English.
What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a non-surgical lifting treatment that delivers micro-focused ultrasound (MFU-V) to the deep SMAS layer — the same layer tightened in a surgical facelift — to trigger new collagen. Skin lifts gradually over 2–3 months, with results that typically last about a year.
Because the device shows the skin layers on screen in real time, your doctor can place energy precisely at each depth. It is FDA-cleared to lift the brow, under-chin and neck, and to improve lines on the décolletage.

Where Ultherapy lifts best
Each face is mapped individually at consultation — line count and depth are adjusted to your skin thickness and the degree of laxity.
Brow & eyelid
Lifts a heavy brow and opens the upper-eye area.
Cheeks & mid-face
Repositions soft tissue that softens the nasolabial area.
Jawline & jowls
Re-defines a blurred jaw contour and early jowling.
Neck & under-chin
Tightens loose submental skin and neck laxity.
A good fit if you…
- have mild to moderate skin laxity (often 30s–60s)
- want a lift without surgery or recovery time
- are visiting Seoul for a short trip
- prefer gradual, natural-looking change
Consider alternatives if you…
- have significant skin excess — thread lift may suit better
- mainly want surface texture or pores — see Potenza
- are pregnant, or have an active skin infection in the area
- have metal implants or open wounds in the treatment zone

Can I fly home right after Ultherapy?
Yes. There is no wound or bandage, so most international patients fly within a day or two. Mild swelling or tenderness, if any, usually settles within days.
