When choosing where to have Ultherapy in Cheongdam, Gangnam, focus on three things: which machine is used, who performs it, and what the plan is based on. Below, each of those is answered for Min Clinic, followed by the posted prices, what happens on the day, and how authenticity is checked.
Having Ultherapy with sensitive or reactive skin
If your skin flushes easily, reacts to products, or has a history of rosacea or eczema, say so before any plan is made. With Ultherapy this can change the settings, the order of treatments, the choice of numbing cream and the aftercare products. Bring the names of products that have irritated you, and ask what the clinic does if redness after Ultherapy lasts longer than expected. A clinic may reasonably suggest waiting while skin is inflamed.
The wording FDA cleared is "lift" and "improve the appearance". Claims that it reverses sagging or replaces surgery are outside that wording.
On the day of your Ultherapy appointment
On the day, bring your medication list and any previous treatment records, and arrive without make-up on the treatment area if you can. Before Ultherapy starts, confirm the plan you agreed: the areas, the amount and the total price. It is reasonable to ask to see the device or the sealed product, to ask how discomfort during Ultherapy will be managed, and to pause if something differs from what was discussed.
A patient coordinator sees you first, and the doctor follows. Skin is assessed with an EVE V MUSE analyser.
The number of shots is set by area and extent. A single small area such as the jawline takes 100 shots; a partial treatment of the eye area, jawline or double chin takes 300; a V-line contour takes 400; the full face takes 600; and the face together with the neck takes 800 or more.

Questions people ask
Is Ultherapy unsuitable for sensitive skin?
Sensitivity on its own does not rule treatment in or out; active inflammation, infection or certain conditions can. That judgement belongs to the doctor at consultation, based on what you disclose.
Should I bring my own skincare products?
Bring the list, or photos of the labels, so the clinic can check ingredients. Whether to use them after Ultherapy is a question for the doctor, since some active ingredients are usually paused for a while.
How long does a Ultherapy appointment take?
Allow time for the consultation, preparation such as numbing, the treatment itself and a short check afterwards. Ask the clinic for the total so you can plan the rest of the day.
Can I change my mind on the day?
Yes. Consent can be withdrawn before treatment begins, and a clinic should respect that.
Who are the doctors?
Three doctors practise here: Young Soo Min, the chief medical director, and Min Ji Kim and Chan Ho Jung, both medical directors.
