Dermatology ClinicHIFU Skin Tightening in Busan, Korea Focused ultrasound lifting for a firmer jawline, cheeks and neck, from budget maintenance to premium devices
HIFU heats tiny points deep in the skin to tighten it and trigger new collagen. JRYN Seomyeon offers four HIFU-type devices, from Shurink at ₩25,000 per 100 shots to Ultherapy Prime, so the doctor can match the device to your skin and budget.
What is HIFU skin tightening?
HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) is a non-surgical lifting treatment. The handpiece focuses ultrasound energy at set depths under the skin, including the SMAS layer that facelift surgery works on, creating tiny heated points without damaging the surface. The heat tightens tissue and stimulates new collagen, so the jawline, cheeks and neck look firmer over the following weeks to months.
At JRYN Seomyeon, HIFU options include Shurink Universe from ₩25,000 (100 shots), Liftera from ₩25,000 , 10 Thera from ₩190,000 and Ultherapy Prime from ₩990,000 (300 shots). Your doctor recommends the device and shot count, and confirms the total before treatment.

HIFU Skin Tightening FAQ
Still have questions? Message us on WhatsApp and we will answer in English.
How much does HIFU cost in Busan?
At JRYN Seomyeon, HIFU starts from ₩25,000 for 100 shots of Shurink Universe or Liftera Bar. 10 Thera is ₩190,000 to ₩500,000 and Ultherapy Prime is ₩990,000 to ₩2,500,000, depending on shots, and your doctor confirms the total first.
Which HIFU device is best for me?
It depends on how much laxity you have, your skin thickness and your budget. Shurink and Liftera suit regular maintenance, 10 Thera is a mid-range option, and Ultherapy Prime uses real-time imaging to target deeper layers precisely.
Does HIFU hurt?
Most people feel deep, short bursts of heat or a prickly ache, especially over the jawline and bone. Numbing cream is used, and sedation is available as an add-on for Ultherapy Prime.
When will I see HIFU results?
Some people notice slight firming soon after treatment, but the main effect develops over about 2 to 3 months as new collagen forms. Results vary with age, skin and the device used.
How long do HIFU results last?
It varies by device, energy and person. Lighter HIFU such as Shurink is often repeated every few months, while premium treatments like Ultherapy Prime are usually repeated less often. Your doctor will suggest an interval.
HIFU or Thermage: what is the difference?
HIFU uses focused ultrasound to lift deeper layers, including the SMAS, while Thermage uses radiofrequency to tighten the skin more broadly. Many people combine them, and your doctor can explain which suits your concern.
Can HIFU make my face look thinner?
HIFU can slightly reduce fullness in some areas because heat affects fat tissue. That can help a heavy jawline, but in a thin face it may make hollows look deeper, so your doctor adjusts the plan accordingly.
Can I get HIFU as a tourist?
Yes. It is a single session with minimal downtime, so it fits a short trip well. Message JRYN on WhatsApp with your dates to book.
