Ultherapy and Thermage in Korea: questions to ask before comparing quotes
Ultherapy is a treatment brand associated with the Ulthera System; Thermage refers to systems including Thermage FLX. The Ulthera System uses focused ultrasound, while Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency. A device name alone does not establish whether a particular clinic offers it, which area will be treated, or what your final quote includes. Begin by asking what your clinician proposes for your concern and whether a different approach should also be considered.

Compare the proposal, not just the headline price
Ask in writing for the exact device and version, treatment area, how the treatment amount is measured for that device, such as treatment lines where applicable, and whether consultation, anaesthesia, follow-up and tax are included. These measures are device-specific: do not assume that counts on different devices are equivalent. Ask for the total and any offer conditions in writing. An unstated charge is unconfirmed.
Discuss safety and follow-up
Tell the clinician about implants, fillers, skin conditions, medicines, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and tattoos or permanent makeup, and ask how your circumstances affect the assessment. Both manufacturers’ US materials describe contraindications and precautions for specific situations; those instructions do not establish Korean approval or your individual suitability. Ask what reactions require advice and how to reach the clinic after you leave Korea. Results, discomfort and recovery vary; avoid planning around a guaranteed outcome or a universal recovery period.
