Eye Ulthera,
is there a reason you should go to Hongdae instead of Myeongdong
?

Q. Isn't Eye Ulthera just
the same no matter where you get it?
A. Even with the same machine, transducer selection,
energy settings, and understanding of eye-area anatomy
can completely change the results.
How it is used is more important than the machine itself.
Q. Why is HIFU effective for the eye area?
A. Because it creates thermal coagulation points directly
down to the SMAS layer without affecting the skin surface,
it can improve firmness even in
thin, delicate areas like around the eyes.
"If you're looking for Eye Ulthera in Myeongdong,
visit Hongdae Beautystone.
With HIFU-based ultrasound lifting for the eye area,
it helps restore firmness from within the skin."
— Director Woo Young-jin (Hongdae Beautystone Clinic)
What is Eye Ulthera
(Eye Ulthera)?
Eye Ulthera is an HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) technology
that is specialized for application around the eyes
and is a non-incisional ultrasound lifting device.
Unlike regular Ulthera, which focuses on
full-face lifting,
Eye Ulthera uses a transducer that allows
more precise depth control, tailored to the thin skin
around the eyes.
What ultrasound does
beneath the skin
Loss of skin elasticity starts
not at the surface, but in deeper layers.
The skin around the eyes is the thinnest area
of the face, with a thickness of around 0.5 mm.
Beneath this thin skin is
the dermis, where collagen is woven together,
and deeper below that is the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system)
structure.
When this SMAS layer loosens,
the eye area starts to sag and appear hollowed
downward.
Eye Ulthera passes ultrasound energy
through the skin surface
and creates thermal coagulation points only at the target depth.
👨⚕️ Dr. Woo Young-jin's key summary
Eye Ulthera is a procedure that uses HIFU ultrasound
to avoid affecting the skin surface
while directly creating
thermal coagulation points down to the SMAS layer.
Especially in thin areas around the eyes,
depth settings and energy adjustment determine the results, and
even with the same device, effectiveness can change completely
depending on the practitioner's anatomical understanding.
For those looking in Myeongdong
— why we recommend Hongdae Beautystone
The area around the eyes has facial nerves and blood vessels
distributed in a complex pattern,
and if the settings are wrong, it can cause unintended irritation
beyond temporary swelling.
When Eye Ulthera is performed at Hongdae Beautystone,
the thickness of the skin around the eyes is
checked directly with ultrasound imaging before treatment.
From transducer selection to energy level,
and point spacing, everything is set differently
depending on the area.
People who had 2 to 3 sessions elsewhere and
saw little change often
notice a difference after 1 to 2 sessions with us because
the approach was different, not the machine.
Eye Ulthera
vs. other eye-area lifting
Category | Eye Ulthera (HIFU) | Radiofrequency lifting | Laser lifting |
Depth of action | SMAS layer (4.5 mm+) | Dermis (1–3 mm) | Epidermis ~ upper dermis |
Effect onset | Gradual over 2–3 months | Immediately after treatment to several weeks | Immediately after treatment to several weeks |
Best for | Sagging, volume loss | Loss of elasticity, early sagging | Fine lines, pigmentation, skin texture |
Duration | About 12–18 months | About 6–12 months | About 6 months |
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Can Eye Ulthera be done
directly above the eyelid?
The skin on the eyelid is very thin, and
because it is close to the orbital nerve,
direct treatment is generally avoided.
Instead, we precisely define the boundaries, focusing
on areas below the eye and the outer corners,
for a safe approach.
Q2. How many sessions are needed to see results,
and how long do they last?
In general, results are checked after one treatment,
and maintenance is performed every 6 months to 1 year
depending on the condition.
The effect is most noticeable 2 to 3 months after treatment,
and with good care it lasts up to 12 to 18 months.
Q3. What precautions or
side effects are there after the procedure?
A little swelling or redness may appear immediately after treatment,
but in most cases it subsides the same day or the next day.
For about 1 to 2 weeks after treatment,
eye-area massage or strong physical stimulation
should be avoided.
That was Woo Young-jin.
