Deep lifting, long-lasting firmness, and clean facial definition — Ulthera is one of Gangnam’s most trusted treatments for non-surgical lifting and collagen regeneration.

What Is Ulthera (Ultherapy)?

Ulthera is a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) lifting treatment that targets the SMAS layer, the same deep layer tightened in surgical facelifts.
Using ultrasound imaging, Ulthera delivers precisely focused thermal energy to lift sagging skin and stimulate collagen production.

Ulthera helps improve:

• Jawline sagging
• Lower-face heaviness
• Early jowls
• Droopy cheeks
• Smile lines
• Loose neck or under-chin area
• Brow/eyelid heaviness
• Fine lines

Unlike many devices, Ulthera uses real-time ultrasound imaging for highly accurate depth targeting.

Why Ulthera Is Popular in Gangnam

Sinsa, Cheongdam, and Apgujeong are known for natural, refined facial lifting — exactly what Ulthera is designed to provide.

Patients love Ulthera because:

• It lifts the deeper SMAS layer
• Results last up to 12–18 months
• No downtime
• Gradual, natural improvement
• More definition and contour without volume
• Safe for all skin types
• Excellent for both prevention and correction

Ulthera offers strong, long-lasting tightening with a subtle Korean-style aesthetic.

How Ulthera Works

Ulthera energy heats the deep SMAS and dermal layers, causing:

• Immediate collagen contraction
• Long-term collagen regeneration
• Improved elasticity
• Natural lifting effects

Over the next 2–3 months, the treated areas become firmer, tighter, and more contoured.

What to Expect During Treatment

Ulthera sessions are straightforward and comfortable.

During the procedure:

• Ultrasound imaging maps your skin layers
• Focused ultrasound energy is delivered at precise depths
• A warming or tingling sensation may be felt
• Treatment takes 30–60 minutes depending on the area

After treatment:

• No downtime
• Slight tightness or sensitivity may occur
• Makeup and daily activities can resume immediately
• Results continue improving for months

Ulthera is ideal before events, travel, or busy schedules.

How Many Sessions Do You Need?

Ulthera is typically done:

• Once per year for most patients
• Every 6–9 months for stronger lifting goals
• Combined with HIFU or Thermage for enhanced tightening

Pladen will design a personalized annual lifting plan.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Ulthera is ideal if you want:

• A lifted, tightened face without surgery
• Sharper jawline and cheek definition
• Correction of early-to-moderate sagging
• Preventive anti-aging in your 20s–30s
• Natural correction in your 40s–60s

Great for patients who prefer subtle, elegant enhancements.

Aftercare Tips

To maintain your Ulthera results:
