My experience getting Ultherapy at Apgujeong Ever Dermatology! An honest review of satisfaction despite the pain & duration of the results
I received Ultherapy treatment at Ever Dermatology in Apgujeong 6 months ago.
To be honest, after seeing reviews about the pain associated with Ultherapy, I considered canceling my appointment several times.
I was scared because I saw a lot of reviews saying Ultherapy was very painful, but when I actually got it, it was more bearable than I expected.
After receiving Ultherapy at Apgujeong Ever Dermatology, I felt like my facial lines were becoming more defined, so I understood why they are famous for Ultherapy.
I hope my honest review will be of great help to those who are having the same concerns as me.
Originally, I was concerned about my skin elasticity and jawline.
In my early 20s, my face stayed plump no matter how much I stayed up all night drinking, but lately, I feel like my jawline has become blurred and my cheeks have sagged.
I was especially stressed because when I took photos, my face looked bigger than before and the fat under my chin stood out more.
Every time I looked in the mirror, I felt like my face looked saggy overall, so I started looking into lifting procedures and ended up comparing Shurink, InMode, and Ulthera extensively.
But when I looked at the reviews, most people seemed highly satisfied with Ultherapy, so I finally made up my mind to go with it. The problem is, there are so many stories about the pain that I'm getting scared for no reason.
I saw so many reviews saying things like "it feels like my bones are aching," "it sounds like a dental drill," or "it feels like my face is being torn apart," so I was nervous until the day before the procedure.
I ended up going to Apgujeong Ever Dermatology because an acquaintance recommended it.
The very first thing I asked during the consultation was how painful Ultherapy is. The consultation manager explained that while it varies from person to person, the intensity is adjustable and they don't increase it excessively from the start, which reassured me a little.
Also, the director explained in detail which areas were starting to sag while looking at my facial contours, which somehow made me trust him even more.
Instead of blindly increasing the number of shots, they recommended treatments based on my face shape and focused on the areas that needed it, so I didn't feel like they were pushing it excessively.
On the day of the procedure, even though I was waiting with the numbing cream applied, my heart was really pounding.
But if it means I'll become prettier, I should just put up with this much! I comforted myself and waited.
I was nervous and my hands were sweating for no reason because of the Ultherapy pain, but the staff member kept talking to me to relax and told me it was okay, so I felt a little more at ease.
(Aren't you really meticulous? I'm so touched... haha)
And finally, the procedure began, but I flinched for a moment when the first shot went in.
I had a sharp, stinging pain, like being hit in the bone inside my face, but it wasn't unbearable.
Instead, I definitely felt the pain from Ultherapy more strongly along my jawline and below my cheekbones.
Especially when passing close to the bone, it felt like a momentary electric shock, but the doctor kept asking if I was okay and proceeded slowly, so it was bearable.
Personally, I felt that the pain from Ulthera went in much deeper than from Shurink.
But since it felt like it was tightening my skin deep down, I was actually looking forward to the results.
The procedure finished faster than I expected.
When I looked in the mirror right after it was over, my face was a little red and felt numb, but there was no severe swelling or bruising.
And what was surprising was that I immediately felt like my jawline had become slightly more defined.
(It's not just my imagination~~ I really have gotten prettier~~~)
I'll also show you the before and after photos of the Ulthera procedure!
Doesn't the jawline look more defined and different?
The day after receiving the Ultherapy treatment, I felt a slight throbbing sensation like muscle soreness, but it wasn't severe enough to prevent me from going about my daily life, and I was even able to apply makeup.
I started to feel the real change after about two weeks.
When taking photos, I felt like my jawline looked more defined than before and my face looked slightly smaller.
My sense of satisfaction skyrocketed as I started hearing people around me ask if I had lost weight or why my face looked so refreshed.
(My weight is the same, but my jawline is definitely more defined, so it seems like the diet is having an effect^^)
Many people are curious about the duration of the Ulthera results, but personally, I am quite satisfied with them.
It has been about 6 months since I received Ultherapy, and while it doesn't feel as dramatic as the first time, I definitely feel that my jawline is sagging less.
Especially when taking photos, my facial contours look more defined than before, and the feeling that my skin looks firmer overall still remains.
People around me even ask what facial treatment I got, so for some reason, I feel even more satisfied.
Of course, I heard that the duration of Ulthera effects varies from person to person depending on skin condition and lifestyle, but I am satisfied because the effects are still visible even now, six months later.
So, I'm thinking of getting treatments again on schedule before my skin loses elasticity any further.
Honestly, before the procedure, I think I was really scared because I kept looking up reviews about Ultherapy pain.
There is definitely pain from Ulthera itself.
However, it wasn't at a level of fear that I couldn't bear, and considering the effect, I was perfectly capable of receiving it again.
I think it is a good idea to get a consultation for Ultherapy, especially for those concerned about skin elasticity or wanting to refine their jawline.
I plan to get Ultherapy at Apgujeong Ever Dermatology again if I feel my skin losing elasticity in the future.
They really did an excellent job with the Ultherapy treatment, and I am extremely satisfied!
It was such a satisfying procedure that I felt like the months I spent just worrying about it were a waste of time.
If you are concerned about skin elasticity like me, or if you want to smooth out your jawline, I highly recommend Ulthera!

- 01CommentsReceiving Ultherapy frequently is not necessarily beneficial; typically, a treatment interval of about 6 months to 1 year is recommended. It is safest and most effective to receive treatments at appropriate intervals, taking into account your skin's regeneration cycle and elasticity. During your consultation, please be sure to confirm the duration of the results and the appropriate treatment cycle for you with a specialist. I hope you manage your skin elasticity safely.191026.10.22
- 02CommentsIt is helpful to take photos, focusing on the areas where your face appears most saggy and your areas of concern. Since the jawline can easily look different depending on the angle of your head, it is important to take photos from both the front and the side in the same pose. After the procedure, checking not only the photos but also whether you notice any new changes such as cheek hollowing or asymmetry will help you assess the results more accurately.210026.10.22

- 01CommentsIt is difficult to compare Ultherapy costs based solely on promotional prices, as they vary depending on the number of shots, treatment area, and clinic. When consulting, you can reduce unexpected additional expenses by verifying whether genuine tips are used, the actual number of shots, whether VAT is included, and even checking for anesthesia or aftercare costs. Rather than simply choosing the cheapest option, it is important to check if the clinic provides a treatment plan tailored to your skin condition and transparently explains the costs.690026.10.17
- 02CommentsYes, with Ulthera, the perceived effect varies significantly because the treatment area and the density of stimulation change completely depending on the number of shots. In Ulthera, one shot is a unit where ultrasound energy is concentrated to create tiny thermal coagulation points. In other words, having more shots does not mean delivering stronger energy, but rather creating more and more dense points to provide elasticity to the face.431026.10.15
- 03CommentsI was also hesitant about the date for the procedure due to an important schedule, but after receiving 300 shots of Ultherapy, my face was only slightly red, and the redness had almost completely subsided after a few hours. There was no major inconvenience in my daily life, to the point where I could go to work the very next day; however, areas close to the bone, such as my jawline and cheekbones, felt a momentary tingling sensation, followed by a slight soreness. Since recovery varies from person to person, if you have an important appointment, I recommend booking at least a few days in advance rather than the day before to ensure peace of mind. Especially if you have a photoshoot or a major event, I recommend scheduling your time while taking unexpected swelling into account!420026.10.15
- 01CommentsWow, your jawline looks amazing after being refined! I assume you used numbing cream during the procedure, so I'm curious if the pain was bearable. I'm also worried about the loss of elasticity in my lower face, so thank you for sharing this information!1,0416226.10.01
- 02CommentsDdongi, I'm someone who also tried Ultherapy after worrying about sunken cheeks as I entered my 30s! To start with the conclusion, if you are in your late 20s, you can sufficiently feel the effects of tightening your jawline and deep cheek fat with just 300 shots. For sunken cheeks, the doctor's technique—dividing the shots according to your facial bone structure and fat distribution—is really important! Make sure to emphasize during the initial consultation that you want the treatment to avoid the cheek area, and if you look for a clinic that certifies genuine tips, you will be able to get your lines neatly refined without any major side effects. I'm rooting for you!5203226.10.07
- 03CommentsAfter the procedure, moisturizing and sun protection are the most important. Consistent lifestyle management is very helpful in maintaining the effects.662026.10.01
