HIFU Treatment in Busan Seomyeon
Quick answer: HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) is a non-invasive lifting method that focuses ultrasound energy into tiny heat points in the deeper skin and supportive tissue, encouraging collagen renewal and gradual firming. It is used for early sagging on the face and neck. Daybeau Seomyeon offers two listed HIFU options: Shurink Universe 300 shots for ₩55,000 and Ultherapy Prime 300 shots for ₩990,000 on a first visit (VAT excluded).

How HIFU lifts the skin
HIFU devices concentrate ultrasound waves at a set depth, much like a magnifying glass focuses light. At that focal point tissue warms enough to create small coagulation points, while the skin surface remains intact. Over the following weeks, the healing response can tighten tissue and produce new collagen. Deeper cartridges reach the SMAS, the same supportive layer repositioned in surgical facelifts.
Choosing between HIFU devices
Shurink Universe is a Korean HIFU known for comfort and value, often used every few months for maintenance. Read more on the Shurink Universe page .
Ultherapy Prime adds real-time ultrasound imaging so the practitioner can see tissue layers while treating, and is generally used as a stronger, longer-interval treatment. See Ultherapy Prime or our Ultherapy overview .
HIFU vs radiofrequency
HIFU places precise heat points at depth for lifting, whereas monopolar radiofrequency such as XERF heats a broader volume for overall tightening and texture. Many plans combine them for complementary effects.
Is HIFU right for me?
HIFU tends to suit mild to moderate laxity. Heavy skin excess, active skin infection, pregnancy or some medical conditions may make it unsuitable. Your skin is assessed under physician supervision before any treatment.
