Ultherapy Prime Shot Count Cost Breakdown in Myeongdong, Seoul Korea

Every Ultherapy Prime shot count tier has a published KRW price: 100 shots from ₩450,000 (≈ $321), 300 shots ₩1,090,000 (≈ $779), 600 shots ₩2,090,000 (≈ $1,493). The count itself is set by SMAS grading, not by a sales target — performed personally by Dr. Lee Wonjin or Dr. Lee Kangin at Kind Global Clinic.

Quick Answer

What is the Ultherapy Prime shot count cost breakdown in Myeongdong?

The Ultherapy Prime shot count cost breakdown at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong: 100 shots from ₩450,000 (≈ $321), 300 shots ₩1,090,000 (≈ $779), 600 shots ₩2,090,000 (≈ $1,493) — published KRW, identical for international and Korean patients, with the count confirmed by SMAS grading before payment.

A shot — sometimes called a line — is one focused ultrasound energy delivery from the Merz Ultherapy Prime handpiece, coagulating a precise point at 65 to 70 degrees Celsius at 1.5mm, 3.0mm, or 4.5mm depth. Because the platform is priced per delivered shot, the cost breakdown is genuinely arithmetic: a jawline-focused 100-shot session, a standard 300-shot full-face session, and a 600-shot full-face-plus-neck session each carry their own published KRW figure, and the per-shot rate falls as the tier rises. Zone tiers follow the same logic — Eye 200 shots at ₩790,000 (≈ $564) and Body 300 shots at ₩1,190,000 (≈ $850) are listed separately because periorbital and body work use different transducer plans.

The number that actually matters is not the tier price but which tier your anatomy needs. At Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong, the co-director — Dr. Lee Wonjin or Dr. Lee Kangin — grades your SMAS-layer laxity on the Prime real-time display during a 15-to-20-minute consultation, then writes the shot count into an itemized quote before any payment. The sealed Merz cartridge is shown with its serial before opening, the delivered count is recorded on your chart, and the same KRW price applies whether you are a Seoul resident or flew in that morning. Korea pricing for the identical Ultherapy Prime platform runs 50 to 70 percent less than typical United States clinic pricing, which is why the shot count cost breakdown — not a bundled package label — is the honest way to compare quotes across countries and across per-shot pricing pages.

Who is this for?

Who should be reading the shot count cost breakdown?

For

  • ✓ Adults in their mid-30s to 50s with early-to-moderate SMAS-layer laxity comparing 100, 300, and 600 shot quotes
  • ✓ Patients who received a vague 'full face package' quote elsewhere and want the count and price itemized line by line
  • ✓ Medical-tourism patients budgeting a Seoul visit who need the published KRW tier before booking flights
  • ✓ Patients deciding between a jawline-focused 100-shot session and a standard 300-shot full-face session
  • ✓ Returning HIFU patients planning whether their next session justifies the 600-shot full-face-plus-neck tier

Not for

  • ✗ Severe skin redundancy where a surgical lift is the appropriate answer — no shot count closes that gap
  • ✗ Patients expecting a higher shot count to double the result — beyond your graded need, extra shots add cost, not lift
  • ✗ Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • ✗ Active inflammation, infection, or open wounds in the treatment area
  • ✗ Implanted electronic device (pacemaker, defibrillator) in the face or neck zone
  • ✗ Patients who cannot wait 2 to 3 months for collagen remodeling to show the peak result
How it works

How your shot count — and therefore your cost — is set at Kind Global

  1. 1

    SMAS Grading Consultation 15-20 min

    In a 15-to-20-minute consultation, Dr. Lee Wonjin or Dr. Lee Kangin maps your SMAS-layer laxity on the Prime real-time ultrasound display and grades which zones need 4.5mm fascia work versus 3.0mm and 1.5mm dermal passes. The recommended tier — 100, 300, or 600 shots — comes from that grading, not from a menu upsell.

  2. 2

    Itemized Written Quote 5-10 min

    The quote lists the tier, the exact shot count, and the published KRW price — 300 shots at ₩1,090,000 (≈ $779), 600 shots at ₩2,090,000 (≈ $1,493) — with zero foreigner surcharge. First-visit patients are quoted the 300-shot event rate of ₩890,000 (≈ $636) where applicable. You approve the breakdown before any payment.

  3. 3

    Cartridge Verification + Numbing 20 min

    The sealed Merz Aesthetics Prime cartridge is shown with serial number and expiry before opening, and its remaining shot capacity is confirmed against your quoted count. Topical lidocaine is applied for 20 minutes before treatment.

  4. 4

    Counted Delivery + Chart Record 30-60 min

    The co-director delivers your quoted count — typically 300 to 450 lines full face — across 4.5mm, 3.0mm, and 1.5mm depths over 30 to 60 minutes, checking the SMAS image before each line. The delivered shot count and cartridge serial are recorded on your chart, and the included month-6 follow-up is booked.

What to expect

What each paid shot is buying, milestone by milestone

Day 0One 90-to-120-minute visit with zero social downtime — every quoted shot is delivered, counted, and charted the same day
Week 1-2Early firmness as initial collagen contraction settles; mild jawline tenderness from deeper 4.5mm shots resolves
Month 2-3Peak lift appears as remodeled collagen matures — the honest checkpoint for judging whether your tier was the right call
Month 6Included follow-up with standardized photos; the same co-director reviews whether a smaller maintenance tier suffices next time
Month 12-18Typical result duration window for a 300-to-600-shot session; booster timing planned against your original shot map

Which tier fits depends on your SMAS grade, zone priorities, and budget — a 600-shot quote for a 300-shot face wastes money, and the reverse under-treats. The co-director consultation at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong itemizes the shot count cost breakdown for your anatomy before you commit; where budget HIFU or an RF platform like Thermage FLX serves you better, you hear that first.

            Evidence

            The evidence behind shot-count-based MFU-V dosing (peer-reviewed)

            1. Treatment Protocol on Using Microfocused Ultrasound with Visualization for Skin Quality Improvement: The Korean Experience
              Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery — Global Open (2023) — DOI: 10.1097/GOX.0000000000005029 — PMID: 37250837

              Korean expert consensus protocol for microfocused ultrasound with visualization, establishing line counts, depth selection, and energy parameters for Korean patients — the clinical basis for grading a face into a 100, 300, or 600 shot plan rather than selling a flat package.

            2. Focused Ultrasound for the Treatment of Skin Laxity
              Dermatologic Surgery (2014) — DOI: 10.1111/dsu.12300

              Histologic work confirming collagen contraction at the SMAS layer (4.5mm) from focused ultrasound delivered past an intact epidermis — the depth-specific mechanism that each individually priced shot in the cost breakdown is purchasing.

            3. Efficacy and safety of non-invasive body tightening with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU)
              Skin Research and Technology (2017) — DOI: 10.1111/srt.12371 — PMID: 28543777

              Korean prospective study of 32 subjects showing significant skin-elasticity improvement at 12 weeks after high-intensity focused ultrasound with no serious adverse events — Asian-skin response data directly relevant to zone tiers such as the Body 300 plan.

            4. Combined treatment for skin laxity of the aging face with monopolar radiofrequency and intense focused ultrasound in Korean subjects
              Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy (2018) — DOI: 10.1080/14764172.2018.1427870 — PMID: 29469595

              Korean-subject study in which 90 percent of patients achieved moderate-or-greater facial tightening when intense focused ultrasound was combined with monopolar radiofrequency — evidence for why a consultation may propose an RF layer instead of simply raising your shot count.

            Frequently asked

            Ultherapy Prime shot count cost breakdown — the questions patients actually ask

            What is the full Ultherapy Prime shot count cost breakdown at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong?
            The published breakdown runs from ₩450,000 (≈ $321) for a 100-shot session up to ₩2,090,000 (≈ $1,493) for 600 shots, with every tier listed in KRW before you sit down.
            TierEvent priceRegular price
            100 shots (up to 200)₩450,000 (≈ $321)₩540,000
            300 shots full face₩1,090,000 (≈ $779)₩1,090,000
            600 shots face + neck₩2,090,000 (≈ $1,493)₩2,090,000
            Eye 200 shots₩790,000 (≈ $564)₩790,000
            Body 300 shots₩1,190,000 (≈ $850)₩1,190,000
            Your exact count is set by SMAS grading at consultation, and the same KRW figure applies to international and Korean patients with no surcharge.
            How many Ultherapy Prime shots does a full face actually need?
            Most full faces land between 300 and 450 shots, which is why the 300-shot tier at ₩1,090,000 (≈ $779) is the standard starting quote. The count divides across depths — 4.5mm lines along the SMAS for lift, 3.0mm mid-dermal passes, and 1.5mm superficial lines for texture — and a face with jowl-dominant laxity distributes them differently from one with mid-face descent. At Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong the co-director grades your SMAS on the Prime real-time display and writes the count into the quote before payment; if 100 shots on the jawline covers your concern, that smaller tier is what gets quoted.
            Why does the per-shot rate fall between the 300-shot and 600-shot tiers?
            Tier pricing rewards volume: a 600-shot session at ₩2,090,000 (≈ $1,493) carries a lower per-shot rate than 300 shots at ₩1,090,000 (≈ $779) because setup, cartridge logistics, and physician time scale efficiently within one visit. That discount is only value if your anatomy genuinely needs neck and submental coverage — 300 unnecessary extra shots are wasted money even at a lower unit rate. The per-shot pricing breakdown shows the same arithmetic from the unit side; the consultation decides which tier the arithmetic should be applied to.
            Is there a first-visit price for the 300-shot Ultherapy Prime session?
            Yes — first-visit patients are quoted the 300-shot event rate of ₩890,000 (≈ $636) where the event applies, against the standard listing of ₩1,090,000 (≈ $779). It is the same Merz Ultherapy Prime platform, the same co-director-performed delivery, and the same sealed-cartridge verification — the event rate is a published first-visit figure, not a stripped-down session. Whether your consultation lands on the event tier or a different shot count, the quote is itemized in writing before any payment, and the delivered count is recorded on your chart.
            How does the Ultherapy Prime shot count cost in Korea compare with the US or Japan?
            Korea pricing for the identical Merz platform runs 50 to 70 percent less than typical United States clinic pricing, and meaningfully under Japanese metropolitan rates as well.
            FactorSeoul (Kind Global)Typical US / JP clinic

            Foreigner pricingSame KRW as localsVaries by clinic
            Seoul clinics also perform HIFU at far higher weekly volume than most Western practices, which is what keeps published shot-tier pricing competitive. Flight plus hotel often still totals less than a single US session for medical tourists comparing full-trip cost.
            Who sets the shot count and who actually delivers the shots?
            Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong's Ultherapy Prime is performed personally by 2 licensed Korean co-directors — Dr. Lee Wonjin (KR Medical License 143124, Daegu Catholic University College of Medicine, 2022) or Dr. Lee Kangin (KR Medical License 141247) — with zero nurse delegation. The same physician who grades your SMAS and sets the count is the one holding the handpiece for every line, and the one reviewing your standardized photos at the included month-6 follow-up. That continuity matters for a counted treatment: the person who priced the plan is accountable for how each shot lands.
            How do I verify I actually received the shot count I paid for?
            Three checks are built into the visit: the sealed Merz Aesthetics cartridge is shown with its serial number and expiry before opening, the cartridge's shot capacity is confirmed against your written quote, and the delivered count plus serial are recorded on your chart — which you can request. The Prime platform itself meters shots per cartridge, so the count is machine-tracked rather than estimated by hand. This is the same genuine-device, genuine-quantity policy applied across the clinic's product verification process, and it is exactly the paper trail a counted, per-shot-priced treatment should leave.
            Does a 600-shot session hurt more or need more downtime than 300 shots?
            Downtime stays near zero for both tiers — redness for 2 to 6 hours, mild chewing tenderness for a day or two — but 600-shot sessions concentrate more 4.5mm energy along the jaw and neck, so tenderness can be somewhat more noticeable and the visit runs 60 to 90 minutes instead of 30 to 60. Topical lidocaine is applied for 20 minutes beforehand at either tier, and you can fly the same day. Sauna, alcohol, and vigorous facial massage are off the list for 48 hours regardless of the count you purchased.
            Can I fly home the same day after my counted Ultherapy Prime session?
            Yes — same-day flying is fine after any Ultherapy Prime tier, because the energy works beneath an intact epidermis and there is no wound to protect. Cabin dryness is the main practical nuisance: hydrate and use a bland moisturizer. Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong sits on the 6F of the UNESCO Building, 26 Myeongdong-gil — Myeongdong Station Exit 6, a 5-minute walk — roughly an hour from Incheon Airport by AREX and taxi, which is why many medical-tourism patients schedule a 300-shot session on their final Seoul afternoon.
            How many days in Seoul should I plan for an Ultherapy Prime session?
            One day is technically enough — consultation, quote, and treatment happen in a single 90-to-120-minute visit, and downtime is zero. A 2-to-3-day Seoul stay is more comfortable for medical-tourism patients: day one for the consultation and counted session, a buffer day in case you and the co-director decide to split zones or add an RF comparison consult, and a relaxed departure day. Korea's price advantage on the shot tiers usually covers the hotel nights several times over for US and Japanese visitors.
            How long do results last per shot tier, and when will I see them?
            Result duration is 12 to 18 months for a properly graded session at any tier — 100, 300, or 600 shots — because duration comes from collagen remodeling, not from raw count. What the count changes is coverage: a 100-shot jawline session lifts the jawline for that window, while 600 shots carry face plus neck. Early firmness shows at week 1 to 2, and the peak result lands at month 2 to 3, which is when the included follow-up photos are compared. Under-counting shortens apparent duration because the under-treated zones sag first — the reason honest grading beats bargain tiers.
            What do the Eye 200 and Body 300 shot tiers cost and who are they for?
            Eye 200 shots is published at ₩790,000 (≈ $564) and targets periorbital laxity — brow and under-eye — with shallower transducer plans, while Body 300 shots at ₩1,190,000 (≈ $850) treats zones like the arms or abdomen, as covered on the Body Ultherapy Prime page. They are priced separately in the breakdown because zone anatomy changes the depth mix and session flow, not because they are add-on upsells; each is quoted only when the co-director's grading says the zone genuinely benefits.
            Ultherapy Prime 300 shots versus Shurink Universe 300 shots — is the cheaper count the same thing?
            No — the counts match but the platforms differ, which is why the breakdown lists both honestly.

            Price₩1,090,000 (≈ $779)₩149,000 (≈ $106)

            Real-time SMAS imagingYesNo
            Typical duration12-18 months9-12 months
            The Shurink Universe tier is a legitimate budget HIFU choice for first-timers and prevention; the Prime tier buys imaging-guided precision per shot. Both are co-director-performed at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong.
            Why do Myeongdong clinics quote such different prices for the same shot count?
            Because the quote hides different variables: who performs the shots, whether the cartridge is verified genuine with a serial, whether the count is machine-metered or approximate, and whether foreigners pay a marked-up rate. Tourist-zone walk-in clinics may advertise low tiers delegated to non-physician staff, while premium districts pad the identical platform with concierge pricing. The like-for-like comparison is a published KRW figure per counted shot, physician-performed, with the cartridge serial charted — that combination, at the tiers listed on this page, is what Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong puts in writing before payment.
            What makes the Kind Global Clinic shot-count quote different from a package quote?
            A package quote sells a label; a shot count cost breakdown sells arithmetic you can audit. At Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong the quote states the tier, the exact count, and the published KRW price — ₩1,090,000 (≈ $779) for 300 shots as of this writing — with the same figure for Korean and international patients, no tipping, and no conversion padding. The sealed Merz cartridge serial is shown before opening, the delivered count is charted, and the month-6 follow-up is included. If your grading says you need fewer shots than you expected, the quote goes down, not up — see the upgrade-value analysis for how the platform choice itself factors in.
