If you only read one paragraph
$420 full face. $520 face + neck. No surprises.
JRYN charges $420 USD-equivalent for full-face Ultherapy Prime (300 lines), $520 for full face + neck (450 lines), $340 for lower-face-only (200 lines), and $220 for eye-area-only (75 lines). All prices are all-inclusive: device cost, line count, numbing cream, oral pre-medication, post-care kit, and 30/60/90-day WhatsApp follow-up. For comparison: Seoul Gangnam typically charges $580–$680 for the same full-face protocol; Tokyo $750–$1,200; LA/NYC $1,500–$2,500. Combination with RF (Oligio/Volnewmer) adds $280 for combined-session pricing — saves ~$120 vs separate sessions. Note: Korea ended the foreign-patient VAT refund January 1, 2026 — these prices do not include any refund. What we quote is what you pay.
What's in the JRYN price
Six things all included.
02
Specified line count by area
Full face = 300 lines. Full face + neck = 450 lines. Lower face only = 200 lines. Eye area only = 75 lines. Line count is fixed by area — clinics that quote 'depending on need' usually upcharge later.
03
Numbing cream + oral analgesic
30 minutes of topical numbing cream pre-procedure. Tylenol or oral anti-inflammatory provided 1 hour before. Both included in price — some clinics charge extra for these.
04
Post-procedure care kit
Hydrating mask, post-procedure moisturizer, and SPF 50+ sample. Designed for 7-day post-treatment care. Supplements your normal skincare without conflicting with active ingredients.
05
30/60/90-day WhatsApp follow-up
Three scheduled follow-ups via WhatsApp at 30, 60, 90 days post-treatment. Photo review of progress. Free for any JRYN Ultherapy patient regardless of nationality.
06
Honest line count verification
Some clinics quote one line count, deliver fewer lines. JRYN shows you the device counter pre-, mid-, and post-treatment. Verifiable line delivery — what you paid for is what you got.
Pricing across cities
Honest comparison.
Busan (JRYN)
$420 full face / $520 face + neck. Authentic Ultherapy Prime, all-inclusive. Korean clinical adoption + Busan cost structure = best value for foreign patients.
Seoul Gangnam
$580–$680 full face. Same authentic device, higher rent and brand premium. Still 50–60% below US but loses to Busan on pure value.
Tokyo Ginza/Omotesando
$750–$1,200 full face. Premium Japanese aesthetic clinics. Different patient experience but similar device. 30–40% above Busan equivalent.
Los Angeles / New York
$1,500–$2,500 full face. Premium US dermatology. FDA approval, US healthcare overhead, full marketing premium. 4–6× Busan pricing.
Singapore Orchard Road
$1,200–$1,600 full face. Mid-premium Asian aesthetic clinics. 3–4× Busan. Many Singaporeans fly to Korea specifically for the gap.
Taipei Daan / Eastern District
$680–$900 full face. Comparable Asian premium dermatology. ~2× Busan. Many Taiwanese also fly to Busan for the savings.
What's NOT included
Honest exclusions.
Travel costs
Flights, accommodation, meals, ground transport. JRYN doesn't bundle these — book directly. We provide hotel recommendations free; no commissions.
Combination treatments (priced separately)
If you add RF (Oligio/Volnewmer/Thermage) or skin booster (Rejuran/Juvelook) in the same trip, those are priced separately. Combination same-session discounts of 15% apply.
Touch-up sessions
Annual maintenance Ultherapy is priced fresh — no discount for being a repeat patient (other than potential combination pricing). Some clinics offer 'membership' tiers; JRYN keeps pricing flat for transparency.
Translator services beyond clinic visit
JRYN's English/Japanese/Chinese language support during your appointment is free. If you need a translator for outside-clinic activities (banking, immigration), that's a separate service via local providers.
Pricing perspective
When the math works.
Trip math works if you
- Live in US, Tokyo, Singapore (saves $800–$2,000+ vs local clinic)
- Are doing 2+ treatments in one trip (compounds savings)
- Have flexibility in dates (cheaper flights)
- Combine treatment with planned Korea/Asia tourism
- Are returning patient on annual maintenance (predictable repeat trips)
Reconsider if you
- Live within 4 hours of Busan (Japanese, Taiwanese savings shrink with cheaper local options)
- Total trip cost (flights + hotel + treatment) doesn't beat your local clinic
- Single small treatment only (less amortization on travel cost)
- Have urgent treatment timeline (travel coordination adds friction)
- Aren't sure Ultherapy is the right device (consult first)
Skip if you
- Have severe loose skin requiring surgical lift (Ultherapy can't substitute)
- Have unrealistic 'looking 20 years younger' expectations
- Have keloid-prone skin without dermatology consultation
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have certain implanted medical devices (consult Dr. Lee)

Frequently asked
FAQ · Ultherapy pricing
questions.
Why is JRYN's Ultherapy cheaper than Seoul Gangnam?
Three reasons: (1) Busan commercial rent is 30–50% below Gangnam. (2) Wage costs slightly lower in Busan than Seoul. (3) Less brand premium — Busan dermatology is less driven by chasing high-net-worth domestic Seoul patients. Same authentic Ultherapy Prime device, same KFDA approval, same operator skill. Just lower-cost geography.
Is the lower price because they use less lines?
No — JRYN delivers exactly the line count we quote. Full face = 300 lines, verified on the device counter. Some clinics advertise low prices but deliver 150 lines and call it 'enough.' We show you the counter pre-, mid-, post-treatment. Verifiable delivery.
What about VAT refund?
Korea ended the foreign-patient VAT refund on aesthetic dermatology starting January 1, 2026. Quoted prices do not include any refund. The refund was about 9% of treatment cost; that's gone now. JRYN's listed prices were never inflated to bake in 'expected refund' — what we quote is what you pay.
Can I pay in USD or my home currency?
We accept payment in KRW (cash or card), and credit cards in any currency (your card issuer converts). Direct USD/JPY/TWD cash payment is not accepted by Korean clinic policies. Most foreign patients pay by credit card or convert to KRW at Gimhae airport or Hana/Woori Bank.
Is there a deposit for booking from abroad?
First-time consultation: no deposit. Confirmed treatment with specific date: 30% deposit via bank transfer or credit card (refundable up to 7 days before appointment). Reschedule within 7 days: no penalty. Day-of cancellation: deposit forfeited. We email payment instructions in English.
Does the price change for repeat patients?
No — JRYN keeps Ultherapy pricing flat across visits. Some clinics offer 'membership' tiers or 'returning patient' discounts but raise base prices to compensate. We prefer transparent flat pricing. Combination same-session discounts (15% off second device) apply for everyone.
How does combination pricing work?
Same-session combination saves 15% off the second device. Example: Ultherapy Prime alone $420 + Volnewmer alone $650 = $1,070. Combined same session: $910 (15% off Volnewmer). Saves time (one trip), reduces total downtime, and compounds clinical effect.
Can I get insurance reimbursement?
Most insurance won't cover aesthetic Ultherapy. HSA/FSA dollars typically can't be applied to cosmetic procedures. If you have a medical indication (severe sun damage with documented diagnosis), some insurers may consider — uncommon but possible. JRYN provides English itemized receipts with codes if requested.
Are there hidden fees?
No. The price quoted is all-inclusive: device, line count, numbing, oral pre-medication, post-care kit, and 30/60/90-day WhatsApp follow-up. The only additional costs would be combination treatments (priced separately and discounted) or unrelated services. We don't charge consultation fees, language fees, or 'foreign patient surcharges.'
How do I get a final quote for my specific case?
WhatsApp +82-10-3951-7576 with photos showing your concerns. Within 24 hours we confirm: (1) recommended Ultherapy area (full face / face + neck / lower face / eye area), (2) any recommended combinations, (3) total USD/JPY/TWD-equivalent pricing, (4) appointment options. No commitment required.
