What is Ultherapy?


Ultherapy is a non-surgical lifting treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen deep beneath the skin, helping lift and tighten areas such as the jawline, cheeks, and nasolabial folds. 

At GIRIN, treatments are customized using real-time skin analysis to target areas where lifting creates the most visible improvement. 

How does Ultherapy work? 


Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound energy to deeper layers of the skin, including the SMAS layer, to stimulate collagen production. 


This helps to: 


  • Lift sagging skin 
  • Improve facial contours 
  • Tighten loose areas without surgery 


Results develop gradually over time as collagen regenerates.


Who is Ultherapy suitable for?


Ultherapy is most relevant when you start noticing: 



Jawline Sagging (Jowls) 

Helps define and 

tighten the lower face.



Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines) 

Indirect lifting reduces the 

appearance of deep folds.



Facial Asymmetry (Jawline Imbalance)

Helps define and 

tighten the lower face.



Heavy or Drooping Cheeks 

Lifting the mid-face can create a 

more structured and refreshed look. 



Mild to Moderate Skin Laxity 

Suitable for patients 

not ready for surgery.

This helps lift and tighten areas such as the jawline, cheeks, and nasolabial folds without surgery.


At GIRIN, treatment is guided by real-time visualization, allowing energy to be placed precisely rather than applied uniformly across the face.


Results develop gradually as collagen regenerates over time.




A natural lifting approach, 
not over-treatment


One of the most common concerns with Ultherapy 

is unintended fat loss or looking to thin after treatment. 



At GIRIN, treatment is carefully designed:

Energy is not applied uniformly across the face

Areas with natural volume are preserved

Lifting is focused only where structural support is needed

The goal is natural definition, not unnecessary volume loss.

This is why treatment planning matters
not just the device itself.

Why Ultherapy results vary between clinics?



Ultherapy is highly dependent on technique.

Many treatments are performed without precise targeting, 

which can lead to inconsistent results.

we do it differently.

Real Patient Experiences and Reviews


Emily R. 

46, Singaporean

Concern: Cheek volume, 

fear of fat loss

I still had volume in my cheeks, so my biggest concern was whether Ultherapy would remove too much fat and make my face look older.


During consultation, the doctor explained that Ultherapy doesn’t directly remove fat, but over-treatment or incorrect energy placement can affect facial volume. What I appreciated was how selective the treatment plan was, not every area was treated the same way.


After about a month, my jawline looked more defined, but my cheeks still looked full and natural. It didn’t feel like I lost anything, just better structure overall.

I’ve never done any aesthetic treatments before, so I was honestly nervous about where to even start.

I began noticing that my face looked a bit heavier, especially around the lower cheeks and jawline. 
It wasn’t very severe, but I felt like I looked more tired in photos.


When I started researching Ultherapy in Korea, I saw a lot of mixed reviews. Some people loved it, 
but others mentioned pain or not seeing results, so I wasn’t sure if it was worth it.


At GIRIN, the consultation felt very different from what I expected. The doctor didn’t immediately recommend doing a full-face treatment. Instead, they focused on specific areas where lifting would actually make a visible difference.


That made me feel more comfortable, especially as a first-timer.

The procedure itself was not painless, but tolerable. I would say around a 5–6 out of 10 in certain areas.


For the first couple of weeks, I didn’t notice much change, but around the one-month mark, I could see that my jawline looked cleaner and more defined. My face overall looked more refreshed, but still natural.

It didn’t look like I had anything done, just that I looked less tired. 

That was exactly the result I was hoping for.

Concern: First-time treatment, early sagging

Linda M.

65, Canadian 

Concern: Post weight loss, 

existing volume loss

After losing a significant amount of weight, my face changed quite a bit. I had more sagging, especially around my cheeks and smile lines, and makeup didn’t really help anymore.

I wasn’t looking for anything too aggressive or surgical. I wanted something that could improve the overall firmness of my skin, but with minimal downtime.

One of my main concerns was that Ultherapy might make my face look even thinner. 
I already felt like I had lost volume from the weight loss, so I didn’t want to make that worse.

During consultation, the doctor explained that in cases like mine, the treatment has to be carefully adjusted. The focus is not on aggressive tightening, but on providing support and lift without affecting the remaining volume.

That explanation gave me confidence to proceed.

The treatment itself was manageable. I didn’t opt for sedation, just numbing cream.

The results were gradual. Around 4 to 6 weeks, I started noticing that my face looked firmer and more supported, especially around the lower face and jawline.

It didn’t make me look thinner, it actually made my face look more balanced and less tired.

For me, that was more important than dramatic lifting.

Frequently Asked Questions


How do I know if Ultherapy is suitable for my face?


Ultherapy works best for mild to moderate skin laxity, especially around the jawline, cheeks, and nasolabial folds. A consultation is recommended to assess your skin condition and determine the most effective treatment approach.



I have sagging around my jawline and smile lines , will Ultherapy be enough?


In many cases, Ultherapy can improve these areas by lifting deeper skin layers. Results depend on the degree of sagging, and a customized plan is important for noticeable improvement.



Can Ultherapy cause fat loss in the face?


Ultherapy does not directly remove fat, but excessive or poorly planned energy delivery can lead to unintended volume loss. Proper technique and treatment design are key.



I still have cheek fat, will Ultherapy make my face look thinner?


When performed correctly, Ultherapy enhances structure without removing natural volume. 

The goal is definition, not unnecessary fat loss.



How many shots do I need?


The number of shots varies based on your skin condition, facial structure, and goals. More shots do not always mean better results; proper placement matters more.



How do I choose a good Ultherapy clinic in Korea?


Look for clinics that provide customized treatment planning, use genuine tips, and explain shot distribution and treatment areas clearly.



When will I start seeing results?


Some tightening may be felt early, but visible lifting effects usually begin around 1 month after treatment and continue to improve over time.



How long do swelling and soreness last?


Mild swelling or tenderness can last a few days to 1–2 weeks. Some patients may feel soreness or pressure around the jawline for up to 2–3 weeks.



Can I travel after Ultherapy?


Yes. Most patients can continue normal activities, including travel, with minimal downtime.



What should I avoid after the treatment?


For about 1 week, avoid intense exercise, saunas, and heat-based activities. Keep your skin moisturized and use gentle skincare.



When can I wash my face and wear makeup?


You can cleanse with lukewarm water and use gentle skincare. Makeup is typically recommended after about 1 week.



Do I need to avoid alcohol or smoking?


It’s recommended to avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 1 month, as they can affect healing and collagen regeneration.
