How much does Ultherapy Prime cost in Korea at Barog Clinic?
Ultherapy Prime is charged by shot count, starting at ₩300,000 for 100 shots, ₩850,000 for 300 shots across the main facial zones, and ₩1,500,000 for full-face coverage at 600 shots. All board prices exclude 10% VAT, and the board is the same for local and international patients.
Are there event prices?
Barog Clinic posts a monthly event board on its home page, and the items and prices change every month. Ask through the booking form or messenger for this month's items before you book. The prices on this page are the standard board prices.
What is the difference between Ultherapy Prime and older Ultherapy?
The ultrasound physics is the same MFU-V family; Prime is the current-generation platform, refined for faster line placement and a smoother handpiece rhythm, not a new kind of result. The practical value of naming the current genuine platform is authenticity: it is how you separate a real Ultherapy from a look-alike handpiece running under the same word.
How do I know the Ultherapy cartridge is genuine?
The counterfeit risk with Ultherapy in Asia is refilled or off-brand transducer cartridges, not fake consoles. So the sealed transducer is opened at the chair, its shot code is read out, and the console shows the line count as it counts down. The quoted count, the cartridge code, and the delivered count all line up where you can see them, backed by the manufacturer certificate on display.
How many shots do I need for a full face?
It depends on your laxity and which zones are treated, so there is no single flat number. A preventive session may sit near the 100-shot entry, mid-face and jawline work lands in the 300 range, and full-face coverage runs to 600. The allocation across jawline, cheeks, and under the chin is fixed at consultation and confirmed as a total before the first line.
Does Ultherapy hurt?
Numbing cream goes on first, and most patients describe a deep warmth or a brief pinpoint sensation as each line of energy is placed, stronger near bone such as the jawline and brow. Extra pain-control options are discussed for sensitive patients, and the rhythm can be adjusted during the session.
How long does Ultherapy last?
About a year for most patients, with individual variation. The tightening is not immediate: new collagen builds over roughly 2 to 3 months after the session, so the fuller effect appears gradually, and a repeat is usually planned around the one-year mark to maintain it.
Is Ultherapy in Korea cheaper than in the United States?
Generally yes for a comparable shot count. Korea combines high procedure volume with openly posted per-shot pricing, which keeps costs below typical Western retail for the same platform. Barog Clinic publishes its full shot-count board on this page so you can compare line by line before messaging the clinic, and the board is the same for international patients.
Is Ultherapy the same as Shurink or an ultrasound HIFU handpiece?
No. Ultherapy is US microfocused ultrasound with on-screen visualization; Shurink Universe is a separate Korean HIFU platform at a lower price tier, and there are other similarly named ultrasound devices too. Confirm the platform by name and cartridge, checking past the loose word people use online, which is exactly what the chair-side check is for.
Is there any downtime after Ultherapy Prime?
Essentially none. You can wear makeup and return to normal plans the same day. Brief redness, swelling, or a tingling feeling usually settles within the day, and occasionally there is a faint linear mark or bruise; flying afterward is unaffected.
Can Ultherapy fix heavy sagging?
Not on its own. Focused ultrasound works well on mild to moderate laxity and for preventive tightening, but against significant sagging it underdelivers, and the consultation says so plainly and stops short of selling a shot count that cannot meet the goal, sometimes pointing toward a thread lift or a surgical route instead.
What exactly happens at the appointment?
Four stages: a laxity assessment with shot planning, the genuine-cartridge check where the transducer is unsealed and its code read out, the imaging-guided treatment placing energy line by line, then a briefing on the gradual timeline. The whole session runs about 30 to 60 minutes depending on the shot count.
Can I do Ultherapy Prime the same day I land in Busan?
Yes. There is no recovery period and numbing is topical, so it fits a same-day arrival. Weekday hours run to 8pm, which suits a late flight, and the clinic sits about two minutes' walk from Seomyeon Station. Same-day slots are limited, so message ahead a day to hold an evening time.
