The number of shots refers to “how widely the treatment is applied,” not “how intensely it is applied.” 300 shots are typically used for narrow areas like the jawline, while 600 shots cover the entire face. The price increases as the treatment area expands, but using 600 shots on a small, targeted area won’t yield better results.
What Is the Procedure?
This device focuses ultrasound waves on a specific layer beneath the skin to generate heat. The goal is to create a tightening effect as the treated area heals. Since it’s non-invasive, there’s almost no swelling, and patients can usually wash their face and apply makeup on the same day as the procedure.
How long do the results last?
Based on the treatment schedule we’ve compiled, many people get it done again every 6 to 12 months. For Ulthera, the interval is longer, at 12 to 18 months. This means it’s not a one-time treatment.
Does it hurt?
You’ll feel a slight tingling sensation near the bone. Since the pain is generally mild, many people undergo the procedure without anesthesia; however, if it becomes too uncomfortable, it’s best to speak up and have the intensity lowered.
How much does it cost?
Based on prices disclosed by 16 clinics, the range was 30,000 won to 1,500,000 won, with a median of 110,000 won. The wide range is due to variations in the number of shots and treatment areas. During your consultation, ask them to specify “how many shots and which areas” in writing.
Things to Check
Even if the equipment name is the same, whether genuine tips are used and the actual number of shots administered vary by clinic. Many people ask if they can check the tip packaging together before the procedure. This is for informational purposes only and is not a diagnosis. Please consult a specialist or expert regarding the actual procedure and product selection.
