Korean celebrities rely on non-surgical lifting treatments to maintain their youthful appearances. But what's the difference between HIFU and Ultherapy?
Understanding the Technologies
Ultherapy
Uses focused ultrasound energy to target the dermis plus deeper connective layers, including the SMAS (the layer surgeons target in facelifts). Best for lifting and contour definition.
HIFU (Korean Brands)
Korean HIFU devices like Shurink and Doublo also use ultrasound but may be more affordable. Shurink solves saggy skin and double chin, giving contour effects and visible jawline definition.
Key Differences
| Factor | Ultherapy | Korean HIFU |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | $600-$1,800 | Often more affordable |
| Sessions | Single treatment | May require multiple |
| Depth | Reaches SMAS layer | Varies by device |
What Celebrities Choose
Actress Han Ye-seul revealed she receives Ultherapy yearly for maintenance. Many celebrities combine these treatments with Botox and fillers for comprehensive rejuvenation.
