HIFU lifting · Gangnam, Seoul

HIFU lifting in Korea.

A facelift's foundation, minus the scalpel.


Focused ultrasound reaches the deep support layer of your face.

At The Walts, a specialist decides which HIFU, where, and how deep.

What is HIFU?

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) concentrates ultrasound energy at precise depths — including the SMAS, the layer a surgeon tightens in a facelift. The focused heat stimulates collagen and gradually lifts and firms the face.

HIFU devices at The Walts

Ultherapy (Ulthera) — with real-time visualization for precise placement
Shurink — Korean HIFU popular for jawline contouring

Who it's for

Sagging cheeks, jowls, a softening jawline, drooping brows or a loose neck — for people who want a real lift without surgery.

Which HIFU is right for you?

Ultherapy lets the specialist see each layer on screen, which suits heavier sagging and precise brow or neck work. Shurink is a comfortable, efficient option for jawline contouring and regular maintenance. Your specialist may use one, the other, or both in a single plan.

What to expect on the day

The skin is cleansed and marked, gel is applied, and focused ultrasound lines are delivered zone by zone. You may feel brief deep warmth along the bone. Sessions usually take 30–90 minutes depending on the device and areas treated.

Good to know before your visit

There is typically little downtime — mild redness or tenderness settles quickly. Lifting develops gradually over two to three months as new collagen forms. Individual results vary — your specialist confirms suitability at consultation.

  • Does HIFU hurt?

    You'll feel deep, brief heat pulses in some areas. Comfort measures are available and settings are adjusted to you.
