Imaging before energy delivery
Ultrasound imaging may help the practitioner review tissue layers and plan the treatment more precisely.
LOUAVE Ultherapy PRIME
Ultherapy face lifting, planned around your features.
Discover consultation-led Ultherapy face lifting in Seoul at LOUAVE Dermatology Clinic. Treatment planning considers facial structure, skin laxity, areas of concern and the ultrasound image seen during assessment.
Ultherapy is not a substitute for surgical lifting. Treatment suitability, treatment depth, number of lines, comfort, recovery and results vary between individuals.

Treatment Overview

Focused ultrasound with real-time visual guidance.
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy as part of a non-surgical lifting approach. The treatment is planned below the skin surface, while imaging helps the practitioner review tissue layers and select suitable treatment depths.
LOUAVE’s Korean website presents Ultherapy PRIME as its current Ultherapy platform. Treatment is customised according to the facial area, degree of laxity, anatomy and consultation findings.
Area-specific treatment design
Treatment lines and depths are selected according to the face rather than applying one standard pattern.
Gradual collagen response
Changes generally develop progressively rather than appearing as an immediate surgical-style lift.
Concerns Discussed During Consultation
Treatment planned around facial structure and laxity.
Ultherapy may be discussed for several facial concerns, but not every concern requires the same treatment pattern. Consultation determines whether Ultherapy is appropriate.
Softened Jawline
Treatment may be considered when the lower-face outline appears less defined because of mild or moderate laxity.
Lower-Face Laxity
Assessment may focus on tissue descent around the lower cheeks, jowl area and mandibular border.
Early Facial Sagging
Ultherapy may be discussed for individuals seeking a non-surgical approach to early signs of facial laxity.
Cheek Support
The consultation may review whether selected cheek or midface areas are appropriate for ultrasound treatment.
Fine Laxity Lines
Fine lines related to reduced firmness may be discussed, although wrinkles can have several different causes.
Preventive Planning
Some patients seek treatment before laxity becomes more advanced, but suitability still requires assessment.
Facial Treatment Mapping
Meet the LOUAVE Doctors →
One face does not follow one fixed treatment map.
Facial proportions, tissue thickness, fat distribution, previous treatments and skin laxity differ between patients. Treatment areas and ultrasound depths are therefore selected individually.
Lower Cheeks
Assessment may consider tissue laxity and how the lower cheeks influence the overall facial outline.
Consultation requiredJawline
Treatment mapping may follow the mandibular border where definition has softened because of laxity.
Area-specific planningUnder-Chin Area
The clinic must distinguish skin laxity from localised fullness before recommending an approach.
Cause must be assessedMidface Support
Selected midface areas may be reviewed while avoiding a standardised full-face treatment pattern.
Anatomy-led designPerioral Area
Fine laxity around the mouth may have multiple causes, so alternative or combined approaches may be discussed.
Alternatives may applyFull-Face Balance
The goal is not simply to treat every area, but to plan selected zones in relation to the complete face.
Proportion-focused Ultherapy Treatment Process
From consultation to post-treatment calming care.
The sequence below reflects the general Ultherapy process presented by LOUAVE. The actual visit may vary according to the individual treatment plan.
Consultation
The clinic reviews your concerns, skin condition, facial structure, previous treatments and expectations.
Cleansing & Numbing
The treatment area is cleansed and topical numbing cream may be applied to support comfort.
Gel & Facial Design
Ultrasound gel is applied and the treatment zones are designed according to the consultation findings.
Imaging-Guided Treatment
Ultrasound imaging is used while energy is delivered according to the selected depths and areas.
Calming Care
The skin is reviewed after treatment and suitable calming or recovery-focused care may be provided.
Treatment Timeline
Results are generally progressive, not instant.
The timing below is a general guide. Visible change, tenderness, swelling and the duration of results vary according to the treatment plan and individual response.
Treatment Day
Temporary warmth, tenderness, redness or mild swelling may occur following treatment.
Early Recovery
Many patients return to normal activities relatively quickly, but individual recovery experiences differ.
Around One Month
Gradual changes may become more noticeable from around one month onward, depending on the individual response.
Continued Development
Collagen-related changes may continue to develop gradually rather than appearing at one fixed point.
Planning Ultherapy during a trip to Seoul
International patients should allow time for consultation, treatment and unexpected skin sensitivity. Avoid scheduling treatment immediately before an important event or departure without first discussing your travel dates with the clinic.
Treatment Suitability
A treatment option for selected patients.
Suitability cannot be confirmed from age or photographs alone. An in-person assessment is needed before finalising the treatment plan.
Ultherapy may be discussed when you:
- Have mild or moderate facial skin laxity.
- Want to discuss a non-surgical lifting approach.
- Are concerned about lower-face or jawline definition.
- Prefer gradual rather than surgical-style change.
- Understand that results and treatment comfort vary.
Additional review may be needed when you:
- Have active infection, inflammation or open skin in the area.
- Are pregnant, breastfeeding or managing a medical condition.
- Have implanted devices or previous facial procedures.
- Recently received fillers, threads or other energy treatments.
- Expect the same degree of change as surgical lifting.
Treatment Comparison
Ultherapy is one option, not the only option.
Different lifting technologies use different forms of energy and may be selected for different concerns. Consultation determines the appropriate approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions before Ultherapy face lifting.
These answers provide general guidance. Your treatment details should be confirmed directly with LOUAVE after individual assessment.
How does Ultherapy face lifting work?
Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound energy below the
skin surface. Imaging helps the practitioner review tissue
layers and select appropriate treatment depths. The aim is
a gradual lifting and firmness response rather than an
immediate surgical-style change.
Is Ultherapy suitable for the entire face?
Not every facial area necessarily requires treatment.
LOUAVE assesses the face and selects appropriate zones
according to laxity, anatomy, tissue thickness and the
patient’s goals.
How long does the treatment take?
LOUAVE’s Korean treatment information gives a general
procedure window of approximately 30 minutes to one hour
for Ultherapy PRIME. Consultation, cleansing, numbing and
post-treatment care may add to the total visit time.
Is numbing cream used?
Topical numbing cream may be applied before treatment.
Comfort varies according to the treatment depth, area,
settings and individual sensitivity.
When may changes become noticeable?
LOUAVE’s Korean site notes that effects may begin to
develop after approximately one month. Some patients may
notice changes earlier or later, and development may continue
gradually over time.
Is there downtime after Ultherapy?
Many patients can return to normal daily activities
relatively quickly. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness,
sensitivity or altered sensation may occur, and individual
recovery experiences vary.
Can Ultherapy replace a surgical facelift?
No. Ultherapy is a non-surgical treatment and cannot
reproduce the degree of tissue repositioning possible
through surgery. Patients with more advanced laxity may
need to discuss other options.
How often should Ultherapy be repeated?
Repeat timing is not the same for every patient. It
depends on age, anatomy, treatment intensity, skin ageing,
previous procedures, response and treatment goals. Follow-up
should be planned after assessment rather than by a fixed schedule.
Can international patients book before arriving in Seoul?
International patients can contact the clinic before
travelling and share their preferred dates and concerns.
Final treatment suitability and details are confirmed
following consultation.
