墨白 The Ulthrea is currently one of the most popular non-invasive lifting treatments in South Korea’s Dermatology clinics. Busan The First Dermatology is a well-established institution with a solid reputation in the Busan area. This article compiles relevant information about The First’s 300 cases of HIFU treatments, providing useful references for those considering undergoing such procedures in Busan.
What kind of institution is Busan The First Dermatology?
The First Dermatology (also known as DeFoster Dermatology) is located in Daeyeon-dong, South District, Busan. It is one of the larger dermatology clinics in the Busan area. The clinic covers an area of approximately 300 square meters and is managed by a team of 6 specialist physicians. To date, it has served over 50,000 customers.
The core services of The First focus on two main areas: injectable minimally invasive procedures and laser anti-aging treatments. The Ulthrea is their flagship lifting treatment; the genuine equipment is operated personally by the clinic director, and they also offer Chinese-speaking support as well as on-site assistance with tax refunds. For patients seeking medical aesthetics treatments in Busan who come from Taiwan or other regions, these two factors—language support and tax refund options—are certainly important considerations when making a decision.
What is the Ulthrea, and what are the differences between it and the Korean version of the HIFU?
The Ulthrea, also known as the American version of the HIFU device, is a high-intensity focused ultrasound system approved by the US FDA. It uses ultrasonic energy to penetrate the skin and reach the SMAS layer, stimulating the reorganization of Collagen and thereby achieving a tightening effect.
Korean versions of HIFU devices, such as Shurink and Doublo, also utilize the principle of high-intensity focused ultrasound. However, the technical licensing and the precision of these devices differ from those of the American Ulthera model. Generally, there are discrepancies in energy distribution and beam accuracy, and the prices of these Korean versions are significantly lower than those of the American model.
The First model uses Ultherapy Prime (the second-generation US version), which improves the energy transmission efficiency and enhances comfort compared to the original Ultherapy model.
Who is the Super 300 beauty treatment suitable for?
300 treatments are typically used for overall facial lifting or targeted areas such as the neck and jawline, and are suitable in the following situations:
- Slight to moderate skin laxity; seeking to enhance the definition of facial contours
- For those with relatively limited budgets who wish to experience the effects of the Ulthrea for the first time
- For areas requiring smaller-scale lifting, such as the lower jawline or neck area
If the degree of relaxation is more noticeable, or if you wish to treat both the face and neck at the same time, it is usually necessary to use 400 to 600 sessions in order to achieve more comprehensive results.
The costs associated with the first Super 300 event in the medical aesthetics industry
According to the prices published by The First Dermatology in May 2026, the second-generation Ulthrea Ultherapy Prime:
- Minimum order quantity: 1,210,000 Korean won for shipments of 300 units.
Other hair lengths are available for reference (subject to confirmation during a face-to-face discussion):
- For eye treatments: 200 sessions available; fees to be discussed upon consultation.
- 400 units: Fees to be discussed upon request.
- 600 units: Fees to be discussed upon request.
All the above fees include VAT; you can apply for a tax refund on-site by presenting your passport.
What is the standard process for undergoing cosmetic procedures?
The treatment process at The First is roughly as follows:
- Reservation: You can make a reservation in advance through platforms such as KakaoTalk or BeautsGO.
- Skin Analysis: Tested using the VISIA skin analysis device to assess the condition and degree of skin laxity.
- Personal consultation with the director: One-on-one discussion to finalize the treatment plan and the number of hair grafts to be used.
- Treatment: Performed personally by the hospital director, with the energy at the key treatment areas precisely controlled by the physicians.
- Postoperative Instructions: Comprehensive guidance on postoperative care is provided.
No anesthetic is required before the procedure, but customers with sensitive skin may inform the clinic in advance, and a topical anesthetic cream can be applied as needed.
Postoperative results and recovery
The Meichao procedure is a non-invasive treatment; there are no scars or crusted areas after the procedure, and patients can apply makeup and go out as usual on the same day. The period from 1 to 3 months after the procedure is the key time for Collagen regeneration. The lifting effects are usually most noticeable around 3 months after the treatment and can last for 6 to 12 months, although this may vary depending on an individual’s skin condition.
In summary
At Busan The First Dermatology, the cost of the Ulthrea Ultherapy Prime 300 starts from 1,210,000 Korean won. It is suitable for those with mild to moderate skin laxity, those who are trying HIFU for the first time, or those who primarily need treatments for the jawline and neck. For additional treatment sessions or combination packages, it is recommended to consult in advance through a reservation platform, as the final cost will be determined during a face-to-face consultation.
