Eye Ultherapy in Cheongdam, Gangnam, Seoul

Focused ultrasound around the brow and orbital region, planned on Ultherapy Prime under live imaging. There is no separate eye menu here: the published unit is the 100-shot block, and how many of those the region takes is settled at your consultation.

The short answer

What "eye Ultherapy" means at Dear Clinic

It means Ultherapy Prime, the current Merz generation of micro-focused ultrasound with visualization, planned over the brow and the tissue around the eye socket instead of over the jaw. It is the same machine, the same depths and the same published unit as a face plan. The region is simply a small, careful part of a shot map.

That matters for what you should expect to be quoted. Some clinics sell an "eye lift" as a boxed item; here the price sheet carries one Ultherapy Prime line, counted in 100-shot blocks, and the brow and orbital region is planned inside that count. Nobody can tell you the number before the scan, and this page will not invent one for you.

What focused ultrasound is doing in this region is narrow and worth stating plainly. It heats tissue at chosen depths to provoke a collagen response over the following weeks. It lifts a brow line and firms the skin above and beside the eye. It does not remove fat, it does not erase a dark circle whose cause is pigment or shadow, and it is not a substitute for surgery on a heavy upper lid.

Anatomy

The eye region a focused-ultrasound map has to respect

Four sub-areas behave differently under ultrasound, and the reason an eye plan is slow to draw is that they sit within a couple of centimetres of each other.

Area 01

The brow and the tail of the brow

Where a lift is most visible. Support here is fascial, and it is the part of the region that responds to depth-set energy the way the lower face does.

Area 02

Skin above the upper lid

Thin, mobile and sitting directly over the orbit. Any plan here is shallow work at the conservative end of the available settings.

Area 03

The lateral orbital rim and crow's-foot zone

Bone underneath, skin creased by movement. Firming can help the texture; movement lines themselves belong to a different treatment entirely.

Area 04

The temple, continuous with the brow tail

Often treated in the same pass, because a descending temple drags the brow tail down with it and treating one without the other reads as unfinished.

Under the skin of this region, Ultherapy Prime works at three set depths — 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 mm — and the deepest of those is the one aimed at the SMAS layer in the mid and lower face. Around the eye, the tissue between skin surface and bone is thinner than it is over the cheek, so the same three settings are not all appropriate everywhere in the region. Which of them your map uses, and where it uses them, comes out of the reading.

Shot Planning

How a peri-orbital shot plan is put together

Prime carries live imaging — DeepSEE™ visualization — which shows the tissue under the transducer while the line is being placed. Classic Ultherapy visualized to 4.5 mm; Prime confirms structures down to 8 mm, on a field twice as large and a display 35% larger with noise reduction. In the lower face that depth is about reaching through thicker skin. Around the eye it does the opposite job: it lets the director see how little tissue is actually there before deciding whether a line belongs at all.

Shots are counted in hundreds, which is how the treatment is priced and how the plan is written down. The eye and brow region rarely consumes a whole plan on its own; more often it is an allocation inside a larger map, and the upper face is treated in the same sitting as whatever else the scan has flagged. The one thing we will not do is publish a shot count for "the eye area" as though it were a fixed recipe. Your count comes from your own capture and is agreed in writing before any energy is delivered.

Treatment here is director-performed, and in this region that is less about brand positioning than about who is holding a probe two centimetres from an eye. Dr. Jemin Kim and Dr. Seonhaeng Lee hold Merz certification as Ultherapy treatment providers, and Prime is delivered by a director and not delegated.

Margins and Limits

Working near the orbit: what we will and will not treat

The eyeball itself is not a target for focused ultrasound, and planning in this region is organised around that fact. Energy is placed on tissue with bone behind it and on the brow above the socket; the globe is not treated through the lid. If a map cannot be drawn that keeps to those margins for the result you are asking for, the answer is that this is not the treatment for it, and we say so at the consultation instead of treating a smaller version of your request.

Four situations come up often enough to name. A heavy upper lid with skin resting on the lashes is a surgical question and focused ultrasound will disappoint you. A dark circle caused by pigment or by a hollow under the eye is not laxity, and firming will not touch it. Crow's-foot lines that appear only when you smile are muscle movement, which is a different prescription. And an eye area that has had filler placed in it recently needs that discussed before any energy plan is drawn.

Risks here get named out loud. Redness and short-lived swelling after a session are ordinary. Bruising and small raised welts along treated lines occur. Numbness or a tingling sensation where a line ran near a nerve is uncommon and generally settles over weeks. Temporary weakness of a facial muscle has been reported after focused-ultrasound treatment and is rare; it is one of the reasons the map is drawn under imaging and delivered by a director. Individual results vary, and the response builds over weeks instead of appearing on the day.

Published Rate

What eye Ultherapy costs in Cheongdam, Gangnam

There is one published Ultherapy Prime line at Dear Clinic: ₩400,000 (≈ $285) per 100 shots. The eye and brow region is not priced as its own product, so a plan that includes it is quoted the same way any other plan is — count the shots, divide by a hundred, multiply by the unit. The count for your upper face is confirmed at consultation.

Published rates as of September 2026, shown in Korean won with a dollar figure for orientation; settlement is in won. International and Korean patients are quoted from the same sheet, with nothing added for a foreign passport. Any cost outside the treatment line itself is confirmed at consultation before you agree to anything. Every published figure also appears on the clinic price list.

Other Routes

When the eye region is better served by something other than HIFU

Focused ultrasound is one of several things in the room, and the upper face is exactly where the choice between them matters. Thermage FLX runs a dedicated eye tip and works in the dermis, which suits crepey lid and under-eye skin more than a fascial lift does. Movement lines at the outer corner answer to wrinkle botulinum toxin, not to heat. And where the scan shows the whole upper face descending instead of one zone loosening, the comparison worth having is across the full lifting and tightening menu, where seven platforms are published side by side.

These routes are not mutually exclusive, and plenty of upper-face plans use more than one over a year. What they are not is interchangeable: they work at different depths on different tissue, and picking between them by price is the one approach that reliably wastes money.

Dear, Knowhow

Why an eye and brow plan is drawn slowly here

01 — THE FULL ARSENAL

Seven lifting platforms, so the brow does not have to be sold ultrasound

Thermage FLX, Density, XERF, Onda, New Titanium and Shurink Universe sit on the same published sheet as Prime. When a capture shows thin, crepey lid skin over an upper face that has not actually descended, a radiofrequency plan gets written and the focused-ultrasound quote does not. Having the alternatives on the price list is what makes that a real conversation.

02 — DIAGNOSIS FIRST

EVE Muse reads the brow before any depth is chosen

EVE Muse 3D capture with five light sources and AI analysis records brow position and the texture around the orbit, and the map is drawn off that.

03 — DIRECTOR-PERFORMED

Two Merz-certified directors, and no delegation near an eye

Dr. Jemin Kim and Dr. Seonhaeng Lee are certified by Merz as Ultherapy treatment providers, and treatment is director-performed from the first line to the last. In a region this small, the person reading the live image is the person placing the shot.

Afterwards

The days after an eye and brow focused-ultrasound session

Most people go back to the rest of their day. The region can look pink for a while and feel tender to the touch, and a slight puffiness above the lid is common in the first day or two; this area swells more readily than the cheek does, which surprises people who have had a jaw map before. Small raised lines where the shots ran usually settle within hours.

Heat is the thing to avoid in the short term: saunas, very hot baths and vigorous exercise are worth postponing for a few days, and alcohol makes swelling more obvious. Sun protection across the upper face matters, as it does after any energy treatment. The visible change is not a same-day event — collagen remodelling takes weeks, and a review appointment some weeks out is when the result is actually judged. Exact aftercare for your own plan is confirmed at consultation.

FAQ

Eye Ultherapy in Cheongdam, question by question

Is there a separate eye Ultherapy price at Dear Clinic?
No. One Ultherapy Prime line is published, at ₩400,000 (≈ $285) per 100 shots, and the brow and orbital region is planned inside that count like any other zone. A plan covering the eye region is quoted as shots multiplied by that unit, and the count is confirmed at consultation.
How many shots does the eye and brow region take?
That comes out of your capture, and we do not publish a number for it. Brow position, temple descent, skin thickness and what has already been treated all change the allocation. A count given before the scan would be a guess dressed as a quote.
Can focused ultrasound be used on the eyelid itself?
The eyeball is never a target, and planning keeps to tissue with bone behind it and to the brow above the socket. Where a result you want would require going beyond those margins, the answer is that focused ultrasound is not the right treatment for it, and we will tell you so instead of treating a reduced version of the request.
Will eye Ultherapy get rid of my dark circles?
Only if laxity is what is casting them, which is often not the case. A dark circle caused by pigment, or by a hollow where volume has been lost, is a different finding with a different prescription. The EVE Muse capture and the consultation are how the cause is separated before anything is booked.
Does it work on crow's feet?
Partly, and it depends what the lines are made of. Texture and crepiness in that skin can firm. Lines that appear only when you smile are produced by muscle movement, and reducing that movement is a botulinum toxin question. Many upper faces need a share of both, sequenced across visits.
Is it a substitute for upper eyelid surgery?
No. Where skin rests on the lashes and vision is affected by the weight of the lid, that is a surgical problem and focused ultrasound will disappoint you. We would rather say that at the consultation than take a fee for a treatment that cannot reach the problem.
How soon will I see a change around the brow?
Focused ultrasound works by provoking a collagen response, so the change builds over weeks instead of appearing on the day. Some people notice a tightening sensation early. The proper assessment is made at a review appointment some weeks out, and individual results vary.
What does it feel like near the eye?
Patients usually describe brief, deep pinpricks of heat travelling along each line, and the sensation is sharper over bone than over soft tissue — which is exactly what the brow and orbital rim are. Comfort measures are discussed and confirmed at consultation.
Can it be done on the same day as my consultation?
Frequently, yes. The capture and the director's reading of it, the written count and the session itself can sit inside one appointment, and the clinic opens 365 days a year, so a Sunday works as well as a weekday. If the reading raises something that needs thinking about, we will say so and reschedule.
I have had filler under my eyes. Does that change anything?
It changes the conversation, so tell us at the consultation what was placed and when. Existing injected material in the region is part of what the director takes into account when deciding whether, where and at what depth to place energy in the upper face.
Which is better for the eye area, Ultherapy Prime or Thermage FLX?
They work at different levels, so the capture decides. Prime places energy at set depths to lift, and Thermage FLX heats the dermis broadly and runs a dedicated eye tip for crepey lid and under-eye skin. Both are published here, which means the choice can be made on the reading.
Do you treat the temple in the same session?
Often, because a descending temple pulls the brow tail down with it and treating the brow alone can read as unfinished. Whether the temple enters your map is part of what the capture answers, and both zones draw on the same 100-shot unit.

Scientific Evidence

What the literature reports about micro-focused ultrasound

Brow and upper-face effects are among the outcomes recorded in the published work on micro-focused ultrasound with visualization. The four references below cover a clinical account of tightening and lifting with MFU-V, a review of newer ultrasound techniques for non-invasive tightening, histological and clinical findings in Asian skin, and a quantitative analysis of face and neck tightening in Asian patients.

They are offered so the mechanism can be read at the source. They describe treatment in general terms; none of them describes your own upper face, which is what the capture and the consultation are for.
