What is the difference between 300 and 600 shots of Ultherapy?
300 shots may cover a smaller area, while 600 shots may cover a broader area of the lower face. As the manufacturer's default value, 300 shots is slightly less than the amount (350 shots) that fills the fascial layer of the cheeks, jaw line, and under the chin, and 600 shots is close to the amount that fills the elastic layer of the same area (660 shots).

If you are worried about a small area and it is your first time, we recommend 300 shots, and if you are worried about your entire face sagging, we recommend 600 shots. In the reviews, the number of shots was similar for the two shots (“It was quite painful” at 11% each), but the differences were the sedation rate (44% for 300 shots and 71% for 600 shots) and the average price (approximately 1.34 million won and approximately 2.17 million won).
Read the full answerHow do InMode FX and Forma differ, and how should I choose?
If you are concerned about pinchable fat, we recommend FX, and if you are concerned about sagging and fine wrinkles, we recommend Forma. FX absorbs the skin and sends heat to the skin and fat layer, while Forma sends heat to the elastic layer within the skin without suction. There are no studies validating FX on the face, so be sure to ask about this during your consultation.
