Ultherapy at AB Plastic Surgery in Seoul is a non-surgical facelift that typically costs around $1,000–$3,000 for a full face treatment. This FDA-approved procedure uses micro-focused ultrasound to lift the skin without incisions, performed at a clinic certified by the South Korean Ministry of Justice for medical tourism excellence. Patients benefit from a facility that holds a 4.9/5 rating and offers support in nine languages.
Non-Surgical Face and Neck Lifting
Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to target skin at three different depths: 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm. The deepest setting reaches the SMAS layer, which is the same tissue surgeons adjust during a traditional facelift. This energy creates small points of heat that trigger the body to produce new collagen and elastin. While a full face session is around $1,000–$3,000, adding the neck area may cost around $1,500–$4,000. For those focusing only on the lower face, a partial jawline treatment is around $500–$1,500.
Procedure Steps and Results
The process begins with a consultation and a skin assessment to check if the patient is a good candidate. A numbing cream is applied before the session begins. The doctor uses ultrasound imaging to see deep into the skin layers, which helps them deliver energy exactly where it is needed. Each session lasts between 45 and 90 minutes. Patients often see a slight tightening immediately, but the peak lifting occurs about 3 to 6 months later. These results usually last between 1 and 2 years depending on skin condition and lifestyle.
