What is Ultherapy, and is it right for me?
Ultherapy Prime is a focused-ultrasound (HIFU) lifting treatment that heats the deep SMAS layer to tighten sagging skin. It typically suits adults in their 30s to 50s with jowls, a softening jawline or nasolabial folds. Results build over 1 to 2 months, you can return to daily life immediately, and prices start from ₩500,000 (VAT excl.) at Liftique in Sinsa, Seoul.
Lift that starts where sagging begins
Surface treatments can brighten and smooth, but sagging usually starts deeper. Ultherapy Prime uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to create precise thermal coagulation points in the SMAS, the supportive layer beneath the skin, with the aim of improving the elasticity of skin that has started to droop.
Because the device shows the skin layers on a real-time ultrasound image, your doctor can see the target depth before each line of energy is delivered. It is the original ultrasound lifting procedure, and at Liftique it is planned as a medical treatment, not a fixed menu of shots.
Jawline and double chin
For a jawline that is losing definition, or fullness under the chin that blurs the profile.
Cheeks and jowls
For cheeks that have begun to slide downward and jowls forming along the lower face.
Nasolabial folds
For deepening lines from nose to mouth that appear as the midface loses support.
Drooping around the eyes
A dedicated 1.5 mm tip option treats the eye area, forehead and neck lines with finer, shallower energy.
Adults in their 30s to 50s
Ultherapy typically suits people who notice early to moderate sagging and want to act before it progresses.
Long-term, deep-tissue lifting
For patients who prefer gradual change from deep tissue rather than a quick surface fix.
How Liftique performs Ultherapy
-
Diagnosis
A board-certified dermatologist consults with you in person. 2D Mark-Vu skin analysis and 3D EVE MUSE facial analysis help identify the areas to target and the areas to protect.
-
Depth mapping
Ultrasound is used to check fat thickness and fascia depth in each area. Genuine 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 mm transducers are combined so shots are distributed by depth, an approach intended to help prevent cheek hollowing and burns.
-
Comfort first
Energy reaching the deep layers can be uncomfortable. Our pain-control system offers numbing cream, fine-needle injection, nerve block and oral analgesics at no extra cost, chosen for you individually. Sleep sedation is available for ₩200,000 and requires an 8-hour fast.
-
Treatment and aftercare
The session takes 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the number of shots. LDM and LED aftercare is included afterwards for additional lifting and skin regeneration (not included for the 1.5 mm eye-area tip option or body areas).

Safety, risks and aftercare
Ultherapy is non-invasive, but it is still a medical procedure that delivers heat to deep tissue. That is why your treatment is planned by a dermatologist, with depth checked by ultrasound rather than applied the same way to every face.
- Temporary redness, swelling and tingling are common and resolve naturally over several days to several weeks.
- Discomfort can occur when energy reaches the deeper layers; pain control is tailored to you.
- Depth-by-depth shot distribution with genuine transducers is used to help prevent cheek hollowing and burns.
- Results develop gradually and vary between individuals. Your doctor will discuss realistic expectations at consultation.
- If you choose sleep sedation, you will need to fast for 8 hours beforehand.
