What is HIFU body contouring?
HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) concentrates ultrasound energy at precise depths below the skin. At the focal points, the tissue heats up enough to damage some fat cells and to trigger a healing response that tightens connective tissue and stimulates new collagen, while the skin surface is left intact. Over the following weeks the body clears the affected fat cells and the skin can look firmer.
At Egg Clinic, body HIFU is available with Ulfit, which is priced by the number of shots so the doctor can scale treatment to the area, and with Body Ultherapy Prime for skin lifting and firming. It works on a similar principle to facial Ultherapy, adapted for larger body areas.
Who is a good candidate for HIFU body contouring?
- Small areas of stubborn fat on the abdomen, flanks, arms or thighs
- Mild skin laxity, for example after weight loss
- People wanting body shaping without surgery or downtime
- Anyone close to a stable, healthy weight
HIFU is not a weight-loss treatment and is less effective for large volumes of fat or very loose skin. It should be postponed during pregnancy and over areas with open wounds, infection or metal implants, and may not suit people with some medical conditions. The doctor may suggest radiofrequency fat reduction or another option if it fits your goals better.

Frequently asked questions
Does HIFU body contouring hurt?
Most people feel warm, prickling or deep tingling pulses. Sensation varies by area, and the doctor can adjust settings for comfort.
When will I see results from body HIFU?
Changes usually develop gradually over four to twelve weeks as the body clears treated fat and builds collagen.
How many HIFU body sessions are needed?
This depends on the area and your goals. Some people have a single session, while others benefit from repeat treatments; the doctor will advise.
Is HIFU better than liposuction?
They are different. HIFU is non-surgical with no downtime but gives modest, gradual changes, while liposuction removes more fat surgically with a longer recovery.
Is there downtime after HIFU body contouring?
There is usually no downtime. Mild redness, tenderness or slight swelling may occur and settles on its own.
How much does HIFU body contouring cost in Seoul?
The price depends on the device and number of shots, so the doctor confirms it at consultation. See published prices on the Ulfit price list.
