Overview
Ultherapy is an ultrasound-based lifting treatment commonly offered by Korean dermatology and aesthetic clinics. It is often selected for mild skin laxity, jawline definition, and lower-face tightening. The treatment targets deeper layers than many surface skin treatments, but it is still non-surgical and results are generally gradual. Shot count, treatment area, pain control, and device authenticity should be confirmed before booking.
