Why Ulthera Remains a Trusted Choice in Korea
Ulthera (also known as Ultherapy) is one of the most researched and globally recognized non-surgical lifting procedures. Unlike general cosmetic lasers that only target the surface, Ulthera uses focused ultrasound energy to reach deeper layers of the skin — specifically the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer. This is the same area addressed during surgical facelifts, but with no incisions or stitches.
At YAAN Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, our medical team has performed thousands of Ulthera cases, making us one of the most experienced clinics in Korea. We prioritize evidence-based methods, referencing both peer-reviewed international journals and KFDA/FDA safety standards, ensuring treatments are not only effective but also safe for both Korean and international patients.
Ulthera Before & After Results at YAAN
Patients often ask what they can realistically expect. While results vary, most begin to notice visible improvements around 4–6 weeks post-procedure, with continued collagen regeneration for up to six months.
Typical improvements include:
- A firmer jawline and reduced sagging under the chin
- Softening of nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Lifted cheeks and improved facial contours
- Smoother, tighter skin texture with fewer fine lines
At YAAN Clinic, all before & after photographs are taken under standardized conditions, with patient consent, to give a transparent and accurate representation of results.
