墨白 In South Korea, non-invasive lifting treatments such as the Ultraformer III (third generation) are highly discussed and popular options. This technology uses focused ultrasound to create coagulation points beneath the skin, stimulating the regeneration of Collagen in the fascia layer and achieving results similar to those of surgical lifting procedures without the need for incisions. The third-generation Ultraformer treatment offered by Park Bo-won Dermatology typically consists of 200 sessions and costs approximately 300,000 South Korean won. This article outlines the mechanism of this treatment, the suitable candidates, the procedure itself, and how to make an appointment, providing information for those considering this option.
What is the third generation of Hafei ultrasound technology? How does it differ from other ultrasound systems?
Hafe Sound Wave is a device in the Ultraformer series developed by South Korea’s CLASSYS company. The currently most commonly available model on the market is the third generation (Ultraformer III). Its technical core lies in High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), which, through probes of different depths, precisely delivers energy to the subcutaneous layers at 3mm, 4.5mm, or 1.5mm, creating “coagulation points” at specific locations and triggering the regeneration process of Collagen.
Compared with the American version of Ulthera, the probe of Ultraformer III operates at a faster speed, resulting in shorter treatment times and generally less discomfort. This is one of the main reasons why it is so popular in the Asian aesthetic medicine market. However, the energy output and depth settings still need to be adjusted by the practitioner according to the patient’s facial structure and skin condition.
Costs of the third-generation Hi-Frequency Ultrasound technology at Poo Fook Yuen Dermatology
The cost of the third-generation Haifu ultrasound device (200 needles) at Park Fu-yuan Dermatology ranges from approximately 300,000 Korean won. The actual fee depends on the treatment area, the number of needles selected, and the specific treatment plan; therefore, a face-to-face consultation is required to determine the exact amount. Using 200 needles is usually suitable for targeting specific areas such as the jawline, neck, or for localized firming. If a full treatment covering the entire face and neck is desired, the number of needles and the corresponding cost will also be adjusted accordingly.
Who is suitable for undergoing Hafei ultrasound treatments?
Hafei Ultrasound is suitable for people who experience the following issues: sagging of the cheeks or jawline, or deepening of the Nasolabial Fold Correction; those who do not wish to undergo surgery but still desire a lifting effect; those who require a short recovery period after treatment (able to resume normal activities the next day); or those who wish to schedule cosmetic procedures during their travels and return home to attend public events without any issues. However, in cases where the skin is extremely loose or requires significant lifting, the effectiveness of ultrasound treatment may be limited, and doctors may recommend combining it with other treatments.
The third-generation treatment process and recovery after Hi-Frequency Ultrasound procedures
After the consultation, the doctor will first assess the patient’s facial structure and the degree of skin laxity, and then determine the appropriate depth of the treatment probe and the scope of the procedure. Some clinics offer local or topical anesthesia, depending on the patient’s needs. During the treatment, the probe moves along a predetermined path; each application will cause a slight sensation of heat and brief stinging. A treatment involving 200 sessions usually takes around 30 to 45 minutes. After the procedure, the skin may become slightly red and swollen, but this effect generally subsides within 24 hours. The results begin to become visible 1 to 3 months after the treatment and usually last for 6 months to 1 year.
Things to note before and after undergoing Hafei ultrasound treatment
Before the procedure: Inform your doctor if there are any implants in the area—such as silicone implants, bone plates, or metal screws. It is not recommended to undergo this treatment during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Also, avoid taking any health supplements that promote blood circulation one week before the procedure.
After the procedure: For the first 3 days, avoid exposure to high temperatures, such as hot baths or saunas. Make sure to use sun protection daily and refrain from applying pressure to the treated area. If you feel a slight tightness in the skin after the procedure, this is a normal reaction. However, if it persists for more than a week, it is advisable to consult your doctor for further evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is 200 units of Haifu enough?
200 hairs are sufficient for targeted areas such as the jawline or the sides of the face. If you wish to cover the entire face and neck, the number of hairs required typically ranges from 300 to 600 or more, and the cost will accordingly increase. It is recommended that you consult a doctor during a face-to-face consultation to have the treatment area assessed and the exact number of hairs needed determined.
Q: How often does one need to undergo another Hafei ultrasound treatment?
The duration of the effects varies from person to person, generally ranging from 6 months to 1 year. Some people choose to undergo a booster treatment after 6 to 8 months, while others opt for a maintenance session once a year. Skin condition and age have a significant impact on the duration of these effects; therefore, the interval recommended by a doctor after an assessment is usually the most accurate.
