Quick answer: Ultherapy full face cost in Seoul depends on how the clinic defines the full face, the number of lines, whether the neck or under-chin is included, the system used and who performs the treatment. A full-face plan usually covers the brow, cheeks, jawline and jowls. Always check which areas and how many lines are included before comparing prices.
Key takeaways
- Full face can mean different areas at different clinics.
- The neck and under-chin are often priced separately.
- The number of lines matters as much as the areas covered.
- Genuine transducers and a doctor-performed treatment affect cost.
- A clear plan avoids comparing different treatments by mistake.
What is a full-face Ultherapy treatment?
Ultherapy, by Merz Aesthetics, uses micro-focused ultrasound with live imaging to place small heat points at set depths, including the SMAS layer that supports the face. A full-face treatment aims to lift and tighten the main areas that sag with age. Collagen builds over two to three months, and results usually last about a year.
Which areas are usually included?
- Brow and forehead: for a subtle brow lift.
- Cheeks and mid-face: to support the cheek area.
- Jawline and jowls: the most common area for sagging.
- Around the mouth: to soften the lower face.
- Optional add-ons: under the chin and the neck, often priced separately.
What should be included in the price?
- The exact areas treated.
- The total number of lines and how they are split.
- The system used, such as Ultherapy or Ultherapy Prime.
- Genuine transducers.
- The doctor who performs the treatment.
- Numbing cream and aftercare.
How many lines are typical for the full face?
The number depends on face size, skin thickness and how much sagging you have. Many full-face plans fall somewhere between a focused 300-line plan and a larger plan that adds the neck. Your doctor should explain why a certain number of lines suits your face rather than giving a fixed package for everyone.
Why do full-face prices vary?
Some clinics include the under-chin and neck in their full-face price; others do not. Some use fewer lines per area. Some include numbing and aftercare, while others charge separately. These differences can make two full-face quotes look very different even when the headline treatment is the same.
How can you compare quotes fairly?
Ask each clinic for the same details: areas, lines, system and who performs the treatment. Ask to see the line counter. If one clinic includes the neck and another does not, compare the price for the same areas. A clear explanation is a good sign of a careful clinic.
Is a full-face plan better than treating one area?
A full-face plan gives a more balanced lift, because sagging rarely affects only one area. However, if your main concern is only the jawline, a focused plan may be enough and more affordable. Your doctor can help you decide what will make the biggest visible difference.
What is the downtime?
Downtime is low. Mild redness, swelling or tenderness, especially along the jaw, can last a few days. Small bruises are possible. Most visitors return to sightseeing the same day and can fly the next day.
What aftercare helps?
Use gentle skin care, avoid saunas and very hot environments for a few days, and protect your skin from the sun. Results appear gradually, so comparing photos after two to three months is the best way to see the change.
How popular is Ultherapy in Seoul?
Korea treated about 2.01 million foreign patients in 2025, and around 63% came for dermatology, according to the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Full-face lifting is one of the most common requests from visitors.
