Understanding Skin Lifting Costs in Greater Seoul
When considering non-surgical skin tightening in Seoul and Gyeonggi, patients often weigh the benefits of Shurink (HIFU) against Ulthera (Micro-Focused Ultrasound). As of July 2026, GlowMap has aggregated pricing data from over 1,000 clinics across the Greater Seoul area to provide a transparent overview of what patients can expect to pay for these procedures.
It is important to note that these figures represent market medians and ranges. Actual costs vary depending on the number of shots, the specific area being treated, and the clinic's internal pricing policies.
Shurink: Accessibility and Frequency
Shurink is widely utilized for its accessibility and shorter recovery profiles. Based on data from 405 clinics in our network, the median price for a standard Shurink session sits at approximately ₩149,500. Prices across the region start as low as ₩30,000, reflecting the diversity of treatment plans available.
Because Shurink is often viewed as a maintenance procedure, many patients opt for more frequent, smaller sessions. The wide price range allows for significant customization based on individual skin goals.
Ulthera: Premium Technology and Precision
Ulthera remains a staple in the aesthetic market, often associated with higher precision ultrasound imaging. Our data from 605 clinics indicates a median price of ₩960,000. The entry point for Ulthera in Greater Seoul is approximately ₩100,000, though this typically corresponds to limited-area or low-shot count treatments.
While the median cost is significantly higher than Shurink, patients often choose Ulthera for its specific ultrasound-guided technology. We recommend that patients review the shot counts carefully when comparing quotes, as this is the primary driver of cost variability.
