Ultherapy Prime in Korea can lift a lowered brow as well as a soft jawline: its focused ultrasound heats points at 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 mm while a live image shows each layer over the forehead bone. A Seoul study of forehead HIFU recorded the highest point of the brow rising by about 1.5 mm at twelve weeks. Upper-face passes are shorter and shallower than a lower-face plan.

Why a dropped brow can respond to focused ultrasound
With age, forehead and temple tissue loosens and the brow settles lower, making the upper lid look heavier. The supporting layer here is thin and close to bone, so the heat has to land precisely. Ultherapy Prime, made by Merz Aesthetics, shows an on-screen ultrasound picture before each line, letting the doctor confirm the depth over the frontal bone and temple.
The aim is a small lift of the brow tail and a firmer forehead, not a new brow shape. Collagen remodeling takes weeks, so photographs from the same angle before treatment make the change easier to judge.
Guide
What a Seoul forehead study recorded
Oh and colleagues reported in the Annals of Dermatology in 2019 on 30 Asian adults, 25 women and 5 men, who had one forehead session with a 3 mm transducer. The device in that study was a different focused ultrasound system, not Ultherapy Prime, so the figures describe what HIFU can do on the brow rather than a Prime-specific result. Energy went along 9 to 11 vertical lines of about ten shots each, and the forehead took 5 to 10 minutes.
The maximum brow height rose by about 1.1 mm at four weeks and about 1.5 mm at twelve weeks compared with the measurement right after treatment. Pain was the main drawback, averaging about 7.6 out of 10 right after the session, with none reported later and no lasting adverse effects. A lift of one to two millimeters is subtle, yet it can open the upper lid slightly.
Guide
How an upper-face plan differs from a jawline plan
Many people book Ultherapy Prime for the lower face and add the brow only if asked, yet the two areas are planned differently.
| Point | Brow, forehead and temple | Jawline, chin and neck |
|---|---|---|
| Tissue under the transducer | Thin layers over bone | Thicker layers with more fat |
| Depths commonly chosen | Shallower settings, often 3.0 and 1.5 mm | 4.5 mm in the SMAS plus 3.0 mm |
| What you may notice | Brow tail sitting a little higher | Sharper jaw edge, firmer under the chin |
| Main caution | Sensation over bone, nearness to the eye | Nerve irritation along the jaw |
Guide
How long a brow change tends to hold
Smoczok and colleagues, reviewing focused ultrasound as a non-surgical alternative to face lifting in Dermatology Review in 2022, describe clear skin improvement, a very good safety profile and short recovery, but note that how long the changes last is still debated. Ongoing aging and the habit of raising the forehead keep pulling on the same tissue.
People usually judge the result at around three months and treat any repeat as a fresh assessment rather than a routine booking.
Guide
When the eyelid needs a different route
Ultrasound lifts the brow from above; it does not remove skin. If the upper lid already rests on the lashes, a hollow sits above the eye, or one lid droops from a weak lifting muscle, an eyelid surgery consultation is more fitting. Passes stay on the forehead, brow and temple, away from the eye itself.
Other reasons to wait include pregnancy, an active infection or open wound on the area, and metal or electronic implants in the zone. Redness, mild swelling and brow tenderness for a few days are common; brief numbness or a headache-like ache is less common. Results vary from person to person.

FAQ
Questions about Ultherapy in Seoul
Which clinics offer Ultherapy in Seoul?
Clinics offering Ultherapy in Seoul include Dear Clinic (Cheongdam-dong), RE:BERRY Clinic Gangnam (Gangnam Station), Kind Global Clinic (Euljiro-ipgu Station), RE:BERRY Clinic Myeongdong (Myeongdong Station) and ENTER Plastic Surgery (Gangnam-daero). Each lists Ultherapy on its own menu; message the clinic directly to confirm the doctor, product and current price.
Can Ultherapy Prime Seoul clinics treat the forehead and the jawline in one session?
Yes, the upper and lower face are often treated in one sitting, with each area mapped separately. The forehead and temple usually take far less time than the jaw and neck, so adding them extends the session modestly. Ask that the plan lists the brow zone with its own depth and line count. That way you can see whether the upper face was a real part of the treatment or a quick finishing pass.
Will ultrasound lifting change the shape of my eyebrows?
It should not change the arch or thickness of the brow, only where the whole brow sits. The intended effect is a slight rise, mostly at the outer tail, which can make the upper lid look less crowded. Hair, tattooed brows and the brow arch stay as they are. If you plan brow tattooing, it makes sense to schedule it after the lift has settled so the shape is drawn on the final position.
Why does the forehead feel sharper than the cheeks during treatment?
Over the forehead the skin and soft tissue are thin and bone sits just beneath, so the heat and vibration are felt more directly. In the 2019 forehead study by Oh and colleagues, pain right after the session averaged close to eight out of ten. Numbing cream helps, and the doctor can pause between lines. Telling the doctor early when a spot feels too intense lets them slow down or adjust energy on that row.
Can I have botulinum toxin on my forehead on the same trip?
Often yes, but the order and dose need planning because both affect where the brow sits. Toxin in the forehead muscle can let the brow settle lower if the dose is heavy, which works against the lift. Ask which order the doctor prefers; some complete the ultrasound first and inject afterward, sometimes on a different day. Mention both treatments at the consultation so they are planned together rather than booked separately.
How is the eye protected when the brow is treated?
The transducer is placed on the forehead, brow and temple, not on the eyelid or the eye itself. The live image helps the doctor confirm the depth over bone before each line. You will usually keep your eyes closed during passes near the brow, and removing contact lenses beforehand is sensible. If you have had eyelid surgery or eye problems, mention them so the plan keeps a safe margin.
Is an upper-face treatment worth it in my thirties?
It can be, if the brow has started to sit lower or the forehead skin feels loose, but the visible change is usually small at that age. Younger skin tends to respond well, though there is less looseness to correct. Some people use one session as a baseline and judge whether a repeat is useful later. A doctor who says the brow does not need treatment yet is giving a useful answer.
