Questions that separate one Ultherapy Prime session from another
Because the device is the same everywhere, the differences lie in planning and delivery. Ask each clinic these.
- Is it Ultherapy Prime by name? Korean clinics also offer other ultrasound lifting devices under similar marketing. The price row should say Ultherapy Prime.
- How many shots, and where? A plan should state the total and how it is split between jawline, cheeks, under the chin and around the eyes.
- Is the screen used? Ultherapy Prime shows the skin layers on screen so depth can be matched to your tissue. Ask whether the operator works from that image.
- Who performs it? Ask for the doctor's name, not only the clinic's.
- What is offered for discomfort? Numbing cream is standard; ask what else is available if you are sensitive.
- When will I see a change? Lift builds over two to three months. Plan around a gradual change, so photos on the day are not your measure.
Best Ultherapy Prime Busan: how clinic types deliver it
Ultherapy Prime is available through several kinds of clinic in Korea. The table shows where each tends to place its effort.
| Clinic type | Typical Ultherapy Prime offer | Worth confirming |
|---|---|---|
| Lifting-device chain | Several lifting devices and packaged shot counts | Whether a doctor or a staff operator performs the session |
| Doctor-led general aesthetic clinic | Ultherapy Prime alongside filler, toning and thread lifting | Who is in charge of lifting devices specifically |
| Single-device lifting center | Ultherapy as the main or only lifting option | Whether a different method would suit your skin laxity better |
Barog Clinic is a general aesthetic clinic at Seomyeon Station in Busan with a named doctor for lifting devices and Thermage FLX, Shurink Universe and LinearFirm on site as alternatives.
Ultherapy Prime prices at Barog Clinic
Prices are listed by shot count and are excluding VAT (10% VAT is added at payment).
| Ultherapy Prime | Listed price |
|---|---|
| 100 shots | ₩300,000 |
| 300 shots | ₩850,000 |
| 600 shots | ₩1,500,000 |
A small shot count suits one target area such as the jawline or under the chin. A full face usually needs a larger count, and the doctor will suggest a number after looking at skin thickness and how much laxity there is.
The two doctors involved in Ultherapy Prime
Lifting devices at Barog Clinic, including Ultherapy Prime and Thermage FLX, are handled by Dr. Woori Ryu. When you book a lifting session, you can ask for the plan to be reviewed with Dr. Ryu.
Dr. Seongkyu Park is the medical director of the clinic in Seomyeon, Busan, a post held since 2021, under Korean medical license KMLE 127092. His work centers on filler, botulinum toxin, thread lifting and body filler, and he is recognized by Galderma as a Restylane Expert Member, by Merz Korea as a Belotero key doctor and by Hugel as a Byryzn key doctor. When a face needs both lifting and volume, the two plans are put together so the order of treatments makes sense.
The Ultherapy Prime device and treatment volume
The clinic has performed more than 10,000 Ultherapy treatments. Ultherapy Prime is named on the price board, separate from Shurink Universe, which is a different ultrasound device without the on-screen imaging.
Sixteen certificates of genuine supply hang in the clinic, Ultherapy among them. If you would like to see the device before treatment begins, ask at the consultation.
Judging Ultherapy Prime results without photos here
This page carries no photos. Lifting changes appear gradually over two to three months, so a fair comparison needs photos taken at a similar angle and expression, months apart. Use the Ultherapy Prime treatment page for current information on results, and be cautious with any image taken on the same day as treatment, where swelling can look like lift.
When Ultherapy Prime is postponed, and its known risks
Treatment waits during pregnancy, over open wounds or severe cystic acne, and while a skin disease is in an active flare. A pacemaker or other implanted electronic device needs discussion first, and metal implants or other implants in the treatment area call for caution. Very thin skin with little laxity may simply not need it.
Common short-term effects are redness, swelling and a tingling or numb feeling for a few days. Less often there are linear marks or bruising. A 2017 report described transient nerve damage after microfocused ultrasound with visualization, and a 2024 systematic review gathered adverse events across published studies. A 2015 study looked at safety in Fitzpatrick skin types III to VI, the range that includes most East and Southeast Asian skin.
Fitting Ultherapy Prime into a Busan itinerary
One session takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the shot count. Most people return to normal plans the same day, with redness and swelling easing within a few days. The effect builds over two to three months and usually lasts about a year, after which many people repeat it roughly once a year.
Barog Clinic is about two minutes on foot from Seomyeon Station. Hours are 10:00 to 20:00 on weekdays and 10:00 to 16:00 on Saturday; Sunday is closed. A weekday evening slot leaves the daytime free.

Here are photos after the thread lifting and Ultherapy procedures. The thread lifting showed immediate results haha. The accessibility is good, and they take great care of the procedure.

Land, check in,
walk over.
Most international patients build the visit into a Busan trip: land at Gimhae in the morning, check in near Seomyeon, walk over for a consultation the same afternoon. Treatments like filler and toning take under an hour, which leaves the evening for Seomyeon's food alleys. If you are coming from Seoul, the KTX puts you at Busan Station in under three hours, ten minutes from our door.
