How Many Ultherapy Lines Do You Need?
Ultherapy PRIME in Seoul, Korea: what lines are, how many your face may need, price, recovery on a short trip and what to check at a clinic in Gangnam. See how Ultherapy PRIME is done at Yaan Clinic in Gangnam.
Quick summary
Ulthera and Ultherapy are the same treatment, and the latest device is Ultherapy PRIME. Outside Korea, it is usually searched for as “Ultherapy.”
There is no fixed number of lines for a face: it depends on face size, degree of sagging and skin thickness. At Yaan Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, face Ultherapy packages come in 300, 400, 500 and 600 lines.
At Yaan Clinic, Ultherapy PRIME costs ₩500,000 per 100 lines (10% VAT not included), takes about an hour, lets you return to normal activities the same day, and results last about 12 months (individual results vary).
Is Ulthera the same as Ultherapy?
Yes. Clinics in Seoul and Gangnam often call it “Ulthera,” while English-speaking countries use the manufacturer’s name, “Ultherapy.” Ulthera Prime and Ultherapy PRIME also refer to the same device. Ultherapy PRIME is the next-generation Ultherapy platform announced by Merz Aesthetics in 2024; its key feature is real-time ultrasound imaging that lets the doctor see the layers beneath the skin while delivering energy (Merz Aesthetics announcement).
According to the manufacturer, Ultherapy is FDA-cleared to lift skin on the eyebrow, neck and under the chin, and to improve lines and wrinkles on the décolletage.
What does “lines” mean in an Ultherapy treatment?
Each time Ultherapy delivers ultrasound energy, it creates one line of tiny thermal coagulation points beneath the skin. Clinics abroad usually call each pass a “line,” while clinics in Korea call it a “shot”, and the two generally refer to the same unit. So “300 lines” and “300 shots” mean the same amount of treatment.
More lines let the doctor cover a larger area, or treat the same area more densely. But more lines do not automatically mean better results, so when you consult at a clinic in Seoul or Gangnam, ask how many lines will go to which area, and at what depth.
How many Ultherapy lines do I need for my face in Korea?
The number of lines you need is different for everyone; the doctor decides based on the factors below. That is why, at an Ultherapy consultation in Korea, hearing the line count and distribution that fit your face matters more than an “average” number.
Face size and treatment area
The full face, specific areas such as the jawline, cheeks or forehead, or face plus neck
Degree of sagging
The more noticeable jowls or a double chin, the more lines are usually allocated there.
Skin thickness and fat volume
These determine which depths (transducers) are used and how lines are distributed.
Whether the eye area is included
The eye area is treated separately with Eye Ulthera (based on 200 lines).
At Yaan Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, Korea, face Ultherapy is offered in the configurations below; the exact line count is set by the doctor who consults with you.

What is Ultherapy recovery like during a trip to Korea, and how long do results last?
At Yaan Clinic, Ultherapy PRIME takes about an hour and you can return to normal activities the same day. Temporary redness, swelling, warmth or dryness may occur; results and recovery vary from person to person.
| Ultherapy PRIME | Eye Ulthera | |
|---|---|---|
| Treatment time | About 1 hour | About 30 minutes |
| Recommended sessions | 1 (every 12 months) | 1 every 6–12 months |
| Recovery | Same-day return to normal activities (temporary redness, swelling, warmth, dryness) | Same-day return to normal activities (temporary redness, swelling, warmth, dryness) |
| How long results last | About 12 months | About 6–12 months |
With almost no downtime, you can have Ultherapy in the middle of a trip to Korea or Seoul without disrupting sightseeing around Gangnam or COEX. Share your flight date at your consultation and the doctor can plan it around any other treatments.
Ultherapy vs Thermage in Korea: which is right for me?
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to deliver heat deep beneath the skin and focuses on lifting sagging areas, while Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency (RF) to heat the dermis broadly and focuses on firmness and skin texture. In Korea, many patients either combine the two or choose based on whether sagging or loss of firmness is their main concern.
| Ultherapy PRIME | Thermage FLX | |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | Focused ultrasound | Radiofrequency (RF) |
| Suited to | Lifting sagging jawline and cheeks, double chin | Loss of firmness, fine lines, skin texture |
| Price at Yaan Clinic (10% VAT not included) | ₩500,000 per 100 lines | ₩1,690,000 (300 shots) / ₩2,190,000 (600 shots) |
| Recommended sessions | 1 (every 12 months) | Once a year |
| How long results last | About 12 months | About 1 year |
| Recovery | Same-day return to normal activities | Same-day return to normal activities |
Bottom line: if sagging is your main concern, start with an Ultherapy consultation; if firmness and texture are, start with Thermage. If both concern you, ask about combining them at your consultation.

Why Consider Yaan Clinic for Ultherapy PRIME in Gangnam, Seoul?
Many clinics in Gangnam offer Ultherapy, so rather than looking for a single top clinic, compare each one on the same criteria. Below are eight things to check when choosing an Ultherapy clinic in Seoul, and how Yaan Clinic in Samseong-dong, Gangnam, meets each one.
1. Who performs the treatment
Results depend on how the doctor reads your face and sets the depth and placement of each line. At Yaan Clinic, treatments are performed personally by doctors with more than 16 years of experience, and the doctor who consults with you is the one who treats you.
2. A genuine Ultherapy PRIME device
Ask which device and transducers the clinic uses. At Yaan Clinic, treatments use a genuine Ultherapy PRIME device with genuine transducers.
3. A line count planned for your face
A fixed package may not match your face. At Yaan Clinic, the line count and treatment plan are set for each patient based on the degree of sagging and facial structure, with face options from 300 to 600 lines.
4. More than one lifting device
Ultherapy is not the right answer for every concern. At Yaan Clinic, doctors can compare or combine Ultherapy PRIME, Thermage FLX, Sofwave and other lifting devices to fit your goals.
5. Consultation in a language you understand
You should understand the plan, line count and aftercare before treatment. At Yaan Clinic, consultations are available in English, and a dedicated 1:1 English or Chinese interpreter stays with you from the waiting room to departure.
6. Transparent, equal pricing
Check the published price and whether VAT is included. At Yaan Clinic, international and local patients pay the same price; Ultherapy PRIME is ₩500,000 per 100 lines (10% VAT not included).
7. Same-day consultation and treatment
On a short trip, a separate consultation day can be hard to fit in. At Yaan Clinic, overseas visitors can consult and be treated on the same day.
8. An easy location for international visitors
Yaan Clinic is in Samseong-dong, Gangnam, within walking distance of Samseong and Bongeunsa stations and close to COEX, with luggage storage for patients coming straight from the airport.
Whichever clinics you are comparing in Gangnam or Seoul, ask each one the same questions: who will treat me, which device will be used, how many lines I need and why, and what the final price is.
