Quick answer: Ultherapy 300 shots cost in Korea depends on the system used, genuine transducers, how the 300 lines are divided between areas and depths, and who performs the treatment. A 300-shot plan usually covers a focused area such as the jawline and under the chin, or a lighter full-face treatment. It suits mild sagging and yearly maintenance.
Key takeaways
- 300 shots means about 300 lines of focused ultrasound.
- It usually covers a focused area or a light full-face plan.
- It suits younger skin, mild sagging or maintenance.
- Price depends on system, transducers, areas and doctor time.
- Ask how the lines will be split between areas and depths.
What does 300 shots of Ultherapy mean?
Ultherapy, by Merz Aesthetics, places rows of small heat points under the skin using micro-focused ultrasound with live imaging. Each row is one shot or line. A 300-shot plan means about 300 lines are placed across the treated area, at depths such as 4.5 mm for the SMAS and 3.0 mm for the deep dermis. New collagen builds over two to three months.
Which areas can 300 shots cover?
Common 300-shot plans focus on the lower face: the jawline, jowls and the area under the chin. Some doctors use 300 lines for a lighter full-face treatment in people with thinner faces or early laxity. A brow lift or eye-area plan uses fewer lines and may be combined with other areas within 300 shots.
Who is a 300-shot plan best for?
A 300-shot plan is often best for people in their 30s and early 40s with early softening of the jawline, people with smaller or slimmer faces, and those who had a larger treatment the year before and want maintenance. It is also a good first experience for people who want to see how their skin responds.
What affects the cost of 300 shots?
- System: classic Ultherapy or Ultherapy Prime.
- Transducers: genuine transducers with a set number of lines.
- Area split: how the lines are divided across the face and neck.
- Doctor: a specialist planning and performing the treatment.
- Extras: numbing, aftercare and follow-up.
Is 300 shots enough?
For a focused area or mild sagging, often yes. For the full face and neck, or for visible jowls, many doctors suggest more lines. The right amount depends on your face size, skin thickness and goals. Your doctor should explain why a certain number suits you.
How should you compare quotes?
Make sure each quote lists the system, the number of lines, the areas covered and who performs the treatment. A low price for 300 shots that only covers part of the face is not the same as 300 shots planned across the full lower face. Ask to see the line counter before and after treatment.
Can 300 shots be combined with other treatments?
Yes. A 300-shot Ultherapy plan is often combined with Thermage for skin tightening, jaw Botox for slimming or skin boosters for quality. This can give a fuller result while keeping each treatment focused.
What is the downtime?
Downtime is low. You may have mild redness, swelling or tenderness along the jaw for a few days. Most visitors return to sightseeing the same day and can fly the next day.
What aftercare helps results?
Use gentle skin care, avoid saunas and very hot environments for a few days and protect your skin from the sun. Healthy sleep, a stable weight and not smoking help collagen and make results last longer.
How popular is Ultherapy in Korea?
Korea treated about 2.01 million foreign patients in 2025, and around 63% came for dermatology, according to the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Ultherapy is one of the most requested lifting treatments among visitors.
