Ultherapy Cost in Korea:
Price Guide for 2026
How much does Ultherapy actually cost in Korea — and what are you paying for? This guide covers why Korean pricing differs from the US, what’s included at Yaan Clinic, and how to get a confirmed quote before booking your flight.

Why Does Ultherapy
Cost Less in Korea?
The gap is real. And for most patients, it’s the reason they end up flying to Korea. The same FDA-cleared Ultherapy Prime system runs in Seoul and New York. What’s different is overhead, market pricing structure, and the volume of procedures Korean clinics perform.
In the US, a full face and neck Ultherapy session typically runs $3,000–$5,000. In Korea, equivalent treatment costs significantly less — often 40–60% lower. That difference funds the flight, a few nights in Gangnam, and still comes out ahead.
The cost structure in Korea also works differently. Most US clinics price Ultherapy as a flat-rate package — full face, neck add-on, brow add-on, each with a fixed price. Korean specialist clinics price by KJ energy delivered, set after skin analysis. Fairer, and often lower. Two patients with different skin don’t pay the same rate.
No foreigner markup at Yaan Clinic
Pricing is identical for local and international patients. The VAT refund for foreign patients’ cosmetic treatments in Korea applied to treatments received through December 31, 2025, and has ended. Prices are list prices, with 10% VAT added separately.

These are directional ranges, not confirmed quotes. Yaan Clinic does not publish fixed prices because every protocol is built after 3D MetaView analysis.

Pricing is confirmed at the in-person consultation. +82 10 5308-0499.
What’s Included —
Yaan Clinic Ultherapy Prime Session
Most Ultherapy clinics in Korea quote a shot count and a price. What’s included beyond the device varies significantly. At Yaan Clinic, the session includes everything below — no separate billing for components.
- 1
3D MetaView Skin Analysis
Dermal thickness, elasticity, and moisture across facial zones measured before every session. This data sets the protocol — tip selection, shot count, KJ energy per zone. No fixed packages applied without seeing your skin first.
- 2
Personalized KJ Treatment Plan
Protocol designed from analysis results. Two patients with similar concerns may require different plans depending on individual skin structure. The plan is reviewed with the patient before treatment begins — no surprises at checkout.
- 3
Pain Management — Your Choice
Sleep anesthesia (full sedation) or non-sleep AirNox system (nitrous oxide). Selected per patient based on individual condition and sensitivity. Not a default one-size protocol — and not an add-on charge.
- 4
1:1 Private Room Procedure
Dedicated treatment room. DeepSEE™ imaging active throughout — the practitioner sees the SMAS layer and surrounding structures before each shot. MFDS-certified single-use tips only.
- 5
LDM Recovery Therapy
Included after every session — not sold separately. Reduces post-treatment inflammation, increases tissue heat retention, accelerates skin recovery. Redness typically resolves within 2–4 hours. Most patients leave the clinic without visible redness.
Ulthera Fit —
The Complete Package
Ulthera Fit is Yaan Clinic’s exclusive package — Ultherapy Prime plus two additions that address what standalone Ultherapy doesn’t cover. Tune liner selectively removes fat cells to contour the jawline alongside the SMAS structural lift. LDM Recovery Therapy handles post-care.
For patients whose primary concern is jawline definition with accompanying fat deposit — not just structural sagging — Ulthera Fit typically produces more complete results than Ultherapy Prime alone. Everything happens in a single visit. No second appointment for contouring.

Practical Cost Guide
For international patients calculating the total cost of Ultherapy in Korea, the treatment price is only one part. Here’s how most patients think through the numbers.
Get a quote before booking flights
Send photos via WhatsApp for a general treatment suggestion and an approximate price range. Photos cannot show everything, so we recommend an in-person consultation at the clinic for an accurate plan. Most international patients do this 2–4 weeks before travel. No commitment required at this stage. WhatsApp: +82 10 5308-0499 →
Same-day visit — no multi-day protocol
3D analysis, treatment, and LDM post-care are all completed in a single visit of approximately 90–120 minutes. No need to build multiple clinic days into your itinerary. Most patients schedule it for day 2–3 of their Seoul trip, allowing time to recover any residual redness before other plans.
VAT refund for foreign patients (ended)
The VAT refund for foreign patients’ cosmetic treatments in Korea applied to treatments received through December 31, 2025, and has ended. Prices are list prices, with 10% VAT added separately.
Maintenance timing — plan your return
Peak results last 12–18 months. Most patients plan their next Ultherapy Prime session around their following Seoul visit — annual return visitors to Korea often time their trip around the maintenance window. For results timeline details, see Post 04: Results & Timeline →
